Thunderbird Hangs Up When Accessing Gmail IMAP — Rebuild Index

Arrgghh! You try to access an IMAP account via Thunderbird and it just won’t work. Don’t despair!

About Raised by Turtles

First and foremost: no ads, no tracking.

Second, this photo is really old now. I have a LOT more gray hair now.

Third, I actually lied in #1. I have added an ad for the Raised by Turtles book. I guess it's true: everything online becomes an ad-infested cesspool eventually.

Finally, this blog is maintained (to put it charitably) by Tom Lambert. Sometimes I have things on my mind and on rare occasions, I write them down. On even rarer occasions, people read them. If you like them, you're welcome. If you don't, I'm not offended. I don't like most things I read. YouTube is just one click away.

If you have a question, send me an email.
