    Ubuntu,Thunderbird and Gmail

    Starting a couple of days ago Thunderbird began having difficulties with Gmail in general.Very long wait times for both retrieval and sending of messages,other times simply won't do it at all and on rare occasions TB will behave normally with Gmail.I have other accounts thru my ISP and Yahoo and there are absolutely no issues.The settings in TB for Gmail are correct as far as I can tell and what I've researched on the web and Google confirms the settings are correct unless something has very recently changed.I've had these problems in both the latest stable versions of Supernova(115.15.0) and Nebula(128.0.1esr) but both these versions worked normally after updating from their previous versions until a couple of days ago.

    I do have a Win10 PC in the house and TB and Gmail play perfectly together.I have two machines running Mate 22.04.4 and 24.01.1 respectively and both have issues with TB and Gmail which leads me to believe this an issue with Ubuntu.

    I've searched the forums for this issue to no avail.If anyone else has had these problems I'd love to hear from you and would love to know even more how you solved this issue.

    If your a snap fan, your not going to like my suggestion, and because it works for me YMMV
    First show us this please::
    Code:
     apt policy thunderbird

    Yes it is a snap, but I'll use the .deb TB
    Code:
    apt policy thunderbird
    thunderbird:
      Installed: 1:115.15.0+build1-0ubuntu0.24.10.1~mt1
      Candidate: 1:115.15.0+build1-0ubuntu0.24.10.1~mt1

    That's the crazy thing is that I am using .deb package installed through Ubuntuzilla.Been installing the Mozilla builds of FF and TB this way for over 15 years.

    I see no snap installed, at least according to apt policy.
    But that has no bearing on whether or not a snap is installed, only if the Ubuntu deb transitional packages is installed
    'snap list' is more definitive for seeing what snaps are installed

    The apt name for your deb is probably different, which is why it's not showing in the apt policy output.
    try
    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep thunderbird
    it should list the actual name.

    There is more to it you may have forgot

    Code:
    sudo snap remove --purge thunderbird
    Next we tell apt how to handle both:

    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozillateamppa
    When file opens, paste following lines and save it:

    Code:
    Package: thunderbird*
    Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
    Pin-Priority: 1001
    That should be enough, and may have to purge .deb TB first so Apt knows about the priority.

    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep thunderbird
    ii  thunderbird                                              1:115.15.0+build1-0ubuntu0.24.10.1~mt1        amd64        Email, RSS and newsgroup client with integrated spam filter
