Thunderbird 52.3.0 keeps saying “sending login information” and “connecting to imap.gmail.com” but it takes a very long time to connect to Gmail and give me my messages.

After I turned everything off, and then restarted my modem, and then my router, and then my computer, the problem went away!
Very strange. Did this only ever happen once?
