Google's GMail will stop working through POP occasionally. Yesterday it would not work for 4 hours with Thunderbird, but worked fine through their web interface. I use my ISP mail for time critical stuff, and GMail for other stuff. I wouldn't bank on GMail for reliability when it comes to POP. In the last year I have seen over 20 'glitches', where it would not work through my e-mail client, but worked fine through their provided interface.
Dear James, Thanks for this input. Think I had the same condition. No working Gmail for 4 hours. I could use Gmail web without problems so I thought that my email agent had some quark. It has cost me at least a good part of the morning to find that on my side everything was okay. Suddenly email came up again. Could we make some warning service if Gmail plays tricks with us?
