Gmail IMAP won’t log in
I have IMAP set up between my work email and Gmail, and I use Thunderbird as my desktop email client. It is easier to organize all the email I get for work with Gmail, but I like don’t want to respond to my email with a Gmail addy - thus the IMAP setup with T-bird.

This system works well for me, except that every once in awhile when I am in Thunderbird, I can’t download email. When I try to log in to my Gmail IMAP account, it fails and Tbird keeps prompting me to log in over and over. I go out to Gmail and try to log in - sometimes it works, sometimes the log fails after a time out.
I asked some other geeky individuals what they thought, and, well, I got the impression that they though that my email set up was just weird and I probably screwed something up. Today, I finally took the time to do a thorough search of Gmail’s Help Center and I’ve been redeemed! My solution to Gmail IMAP not working: Clear the CAPTCHA.
