When I start Thunderbird, I get the following message:

Unable to establish TLS connection to POP3 server. The server may be down or may be incorrectly configured. Please verify the correct configuration in the Server Settings for your mail server in the Account Settings window and try again.

I have 6 different email accounts for 6 different domains, including one gmail account. All use POP3.

How do I track down which account is causing the above error message?
