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.
