Thunderbird is a pain in the butt when it comes to working with GMAIL. Mozilla state seamlessly but I think not. I have 102.3 version and have been using thunderbird for decades. Not until recently with all security features plus the MFA ability is doing NOTHING but causing me grief. I had to re-install and it work for a while then it stops. This is SO aggravating. I HATE GMAIL WEB so-called UI (UGLY INTERFACE). The reason I love TB is that I can filter my email and use post filter add-on to assist which had work great. But after my re-installs again and work with my HUGHE number of folders to filter again and again is getting rather old.

When I get it to work I expect to stay working. I don't make any changes to it at all. Yet GMAIL is getting very disappointing. I think GMAIL is doing something to prevent users to getting their emails via TB. It really such a joke.

Can someone review the above and tell me what the hell is Quirks Mode? The size on disk error. I am not sure if this is a storage issue or if it can't store data due to the sizes of folders. Network Erro when attempting to fetch resources. That might be one reason why I am not getting email but again the message is too damn vague.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Phil, it would be wise to start your posting with the shortest possible description of you poroblem, which appears to be what you stated at the end "That might be one reason why I am not getting email but again the message is too damn vague."

I didn't find a match to the AV icon in this google search.

Regardless, sounds like his AV is blocking getting mail. It would be advisable to set to AV software to not scan disable Thunderbird's profile and also disable any injection used to scan incoming mail, and instead turn on the Quarantine setting in Thunderbird. References:
