Comment 3 for bug 989838

I am having the same problem. It started after I forcibly quit gmailwatcher. After that when I reloaded it was no longer could access my email. I tried removing and adding my account, and received the error below. My internet connection is working fine and there are no proxies active. Any help would be very much appreciated, as gmailwatcher was working excellently until now.
