Hello Brian,

Thanks for posting in the community forum.

My guess is that you've never successfully received a single email from that Gmail account in Thunderbird? Maybe the problem is not with Thunderbird, but with the Gmail settings. You can try logging in to Gmail and checking if POP access is enabled in the settings.

I hope that solves the problem.

Helpful?
