I had this same problem starting about the same time. I was in the middle of another project and didn't have time to deal with it. Claw-Mail was issuing error alerts every 10 minutes as it would try to fetch gmail. However, as of about 30 minutes ago, it is now working again, and I did nothing to it. Paul -- Paul M.
