I have been using three email accounts on Thunderbird, all for a long period of time, and all without any issue. Recently the one listed below has not been backing up, and I receive this message. I am not techie at all, so any response needs to be dummy down to a 5th grader level. Thanks!

"Non-overridable TLS error occurred. Handshake error probably the TLS version or certificate used by server mail.q.com is incompatible."

Essentially, the error means that Thunderbird cannot communicate securely to the server. It's best to wait a few hours and try again later.
