Tbird V91.2.1: fails to download new messages at startup

I have 3 POP email accounts from the same service. All 3 are configured the same, and all have stopped downloading new messages at startup. Server settings that are checked: Check for new messages at startup, Check for new messages every 10 minutes, Automatically download new messages.

From the menu bar "Get Messages" > "Get All New Messages" works fine. Also the auto download every 10 minutes works fine. Just the download at startup seems to fail.

Ideas?

Thanks, Bob

This sometimes fixes the problem: Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, delete session.json. Restart TB and see if it checks at startup.

I just went to try this and there is no session.json file found on my pc. When it shows up and I go to delete I am told it no longer exists there.
