Cannot connect to Gmail

I have been using Tbird to check four separate email accounts.

One through gmx, one through my web site and two through gmail. I am having problems with both of the gmail accounts.

When I try to check mail at gmail I get the message: Failed to Connect to Server <myemail@gmail.com>

I have been using Tbird successfully for quite a while to check all of these accounts, including sending messages from all accounts.

Now suddenly, over the past two or three days I am getting the error with gmail.

Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas where the problem may lie?

Thanks for reading! Jim

have you accessed the account using the gmail web interface? you might want to check that they have not suspended the account or some function of it for some reason.
