Can't download email after update to Thunderbird 45.1. Thunderbird 45.0 downloads on my other machine.

Email download was working fine until 45.1 upgrade. Now it won't download mail, although I can download it with 45.0 on my other machine. I'd either like to fix this or revert to 45.0. OS is Windows 10 on both machines. Now I can download email on my other machine with 45.1. When I click the "Get messages" button on the machine that doesn't download I get a "connected to pop3" message and the green progress bar on the bottom right of the screen goes full to the right and stays there.

Maybe fixed: Restored system to Pre 45.1 date -> Tried to do incremental update to 45.1 (that failed) -> Did full update to 45.1 (that seems to be working).

Most of these issues where the date connecting or connected message just never goes away are caused by anti virus programs that have heart failure over the change in version number (nothing else just picky programmers somewhere in the Anti virus world.)
