Thunderbird problem, cannot access gmail

[Asgar]

hello,

From last 2 days thunderbird tells me: can not access impa.gmail.com, connection refused. I have not touched the software settings at all.
Anybody here have had the same concern? Is this a concern for gmail or thunderbird?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm surprised that nobody has taken this to any concern?

have you changed the ports? SMTP: 465, POP: 995
Also use SSL connection.
i have no problem to snd/rec Gmail.

might be that time out cause of heavy traffic in the system just have patient reloading it. or else check your thunderbird settings.
