Hello, Since May 26, there is no longer synchronization between thunderbird and my free.fr mail server either on my PC or on my tablet. And there is no error message. What should be done to recover the messages again?

Another user of Free.fr is also having the same issue. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1288640#answer-1316570

This cannot be a mere coincedence unless you're posting under different aliases.

This message refer the same issue as I did (I am not the author) I have no trouble using the wifi, the only issue is retriving or sending mail to or from thunderbird via imap.free.fr

Alright, let's see what your server settings are for Free.fr on Thunderbird, especially IMAP and SMTP port numbers, connection security and authentication method. Since this is happening on two devices, and one other user of the same email service provider within the same time period, my suspicions lie towards Free.fr. Something must have definitely changed on their side for this to affect multiple devices. Is your tablet also running Windows and Thunderbird?
