Gmail messages won't load!
I am running Thunderbird on my iMac as imap.gmail.com and my android phone currently with no problems. I am trying to install on a macbook pro downloaded the same version (current) but after normal installation I get "The current operation on 'inbox' did not succeed. The mail server of account Tim..." I have compared the setting in the iMac to the new MacBook and they are the same. Any suggestions?

Reason: Split from previous thread as that discussion involved Yahoo and not Gmail.

Re: Gmail messages won't load!
I've seen that error message with a couple of IMAP accounts such as Yahoo, Outlook and Comcast (always a temporary problem that the server admin eventually fixes), but never with Gmail.
I suggest you compare the settings in tools -> account settings -> Gmail -> server settings -> advanced too. That specifies things such as what namespace to use, and what the IMAP server directory is. I always set the latter to [Gmail] to make the folder hierarchy in the folder pane more sensible.
Another possibility is that the Gmail IMAP account settings are the same on both machines, but "Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP ->Enable IMAP" might not have been set in the second google account using a browser. I found one example of that at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1103857

Thank you for the response. It does appear to have been temporary as of this morning all work.

Re: Gmail messages won't load!
I keep all my texts from the people I regularly text and I was going back on a convo and wanted to see something they texted me a month ago, but i was scrolling up like I normally do, and it stopped at a certain point and wouldn't load anymore.Now I know I didn't delete the texts before that point, and I tried with other people and it's letting me go back up to a year. I tried force closing the Messages app and restarting my phone and nothing.

Re: Gmail messages won't load!
zamakli, are you referring to emails or text messages, because this topic concerned the former and doesn't have anything to do with SMS messages (texts) sent from a phone.
