Also tried AVG 2014 with same result. Anybody else having the same problem? Anybody have any fixes?

I also tried uninstalling 24.4.0 and installing a later version. Same problem.

Can you explain 'Thunderbird 24.4.0 stopped working' in more detail?

In general it is a good idea not to let your anti-virus s/w scan the Thunderbird profile folder.

When I open Thunderbird it says it's connecting to gmail (I use gmail), starts the receive process but never completes.

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

- Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

- Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

- XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Does the problem go away?
