Anyone else having pop3 gmail problems?

Yesterday evening my gmail account stopped delivering certain emails by pop3 and the problem has continued today. Thunderbird reports "no new mail on server" but a check on the gmail website shows new mail there. An even stranger thing is that only some emails are affected - others download without a problem. This has never happened before and I am now getting my emails on a workaround basis by setting up imap for gmail in Thunderbird. A google shows one or two others having the same problem but it doesn't seem to be widespread at the moment - or, perhaps, people aren't aware of the problem because no error messages appear and it was only because I was expecting a particular email that I checked via webmail in case it had been diverted to the spam folder. Anyone else?

Hmm. In the past when I used pop3 with gmail, it wouldn't work every once in a while, but not with just specific emails.

I did notice that it wouldn't pop emails that I sent to myself though.

Like everyone else, I've known gmail to fail occasionally but this is something entirely new to me and just appeared to cover emails from 2 people - both of whom use gmail addresses. I'm flummoxed!
