Hi Thanks in advance for your help. Using Windows 10, Thunderbird latest iteration. I've experienced the following issues for about three days (see inclosed screen captures): 1) when trying to retrieve my mail from my Gmail account, Thunderbird stays stuck on the following action: "connected to imap gmail.com..." (bottom left hand corner) 2) when I send a mail, I get the following message: "Sent but message not saved ..."

I've removed and reinstalled Thunderbird, to no avail. I can easily access my Gmail account through a navigator (Firefox).

Again, thanks a lot in advance for your help

If you are using ESET/NOD32 security/AV then probability is high that ESET is causing your problems. According to ESET forums, you should temporarily disable SSL on ESET until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf - the problem is being reported by dozens of users https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/

You might also inform them of your difficulty.
