That could be a factor. When it started here, I was syncing files between the
two desktops, so the available bandwith for the computer with TB running was
very limited. However after the sync job was finished, and after restarting TB
the problem remained...

It's more likely related to different behaviour between two different TB
versions towards the gmail imap server.

Checking doesn't hurt! ;)


Bye, Wilfred.
