After Thunderbird Update, it would not connect to one mailserver: imap.mailfence.com.
When I launched Thunderbird today, it would not connect to one mailserver: imap.mailfence.com. At the same time, Thunderbird said to restart to update to 115.2.2. After updating, it still refuses to connect. There is nothing wrong with Mailfence and I do not find anything wrong with the configuration settings in Thunderbird. I even tried to set up my Mailfence email account again but it failed because it could not connect. Ideas? Thank you.

Downloaded 115.12.2 from Thunderbird's site and installed it on top of my installation. No change. Downloaded 115.0 last year so I installed that on top of my installation. Problem solved. It updated to 115.10.0 and still worked. Then it updated to 115.12.2 and it still works. Guess something got broken when I launched it and it updated at the same time while it was still starting up.

I meant version 115.12.2.
try turning off your antivirus email scanner.
My antivirus doesn't scan my emails because it doesn't recognize Thunderbird. Thanks anyway.
