This rules out a configuration error at your end. It doesn't rule out 
Google's IMAP server falling over.
Quite often my Thunderbird just doesn't get a response from Google's 
IMAP servers. I just wait a bit and it starts working again. It always 
affects both my Gmail accounts at the same time, and both tend to start 
working again at the same time.

It's certainly not impossible, but what makes you think someone's got 
your password?
