Not in relation to this problem, but I would recommend using IMAP protocol (both Thunderbird and Gmail support it). It works smoother in general, and you can avoid potential problems if you access it from more than one computer.
BTW, with imap - it has a hickup once in a while, but it clears by itself without any user action. Igor P. J. Alling wrote: > Has anyone else had a problem like this? I use the gmail pop > interface.
