What I got after trying to access my gmail account...
This account has been locked down due to unusual account activity. It may take up to 24 hours for you to regain access.
Unusual account activity includes, but is not limited to:
1. Receiving, deleting, or downloading large amounts of mail via POP in a short period of time.
2. Sending a large number of undeliverable messages (messages that bounce back).
3. Using file-sharing or file-storage software, browser extensions, or third party software that automatically logs in to your account.
4. Leaving multiple instances of your Gmail account open.
5. Browser-related issues. Please note that if you find your browser continually reloading while attempting to access your Inbox, it’s probably a browser issue, and it may be necessary to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

hi amr. :) try to clean up FF's cache, to see if it helps. :) That's what I did, and it worked for me. From what I understand, it is the sending and receiving of large chunks of data or too many attempts for a short period of time from gmail, that sometimes causes lockdowns. I don't think picasa can cause this, since when my gmail account was locked down, my picasa acct (same google id) and blogger acct are still accessible. :) anyhow, it's just for 24hrs. My account is fine now. :) Good luck with your account as well. :)
