Over the past two days I have been receiving the following message on a new computer running Windows 7:

Account exceeded bandwidth limits. (Failure)

Whenever I try to access my emails through Thunderbird, this is followed by:

Login to server imap.gmail.com failed.

Credentials are correct as I have access via HTTP.

And then it requests me to enter my password (I have also unlocked the captcha on this account, but this didn't stop any error messages)

I'm looking for a details on why this is happening, to prevent it from reoccurring, such as whether this is specific to something in Thunderbird 3 or google?
