Thunderbird is hung when in gmail folders

Thunderbird was working fine yesterday. Today, it won't get from either of my two gmail accounts. It works fine for a third email account. There are no messages though. The blue circle at the tab just keeps spinning. I tried sending a message before I knew that there was a problem, and I did get a message that it couldn't save to my sent folder. I can access these gmail accounts from the web. The spinning circle occurs for any gmail folder, including Drafts and Sent.

Could an automatic update have caused this problem?

Thanks for your help, Stan
