52.1.0 Fetch Headers Only (pop)
Subject: Account Settings -> Server Settings Occurrence: after update to 52.1.0 (32 bit)
My default setting was unchecked 'Automatically download new messages' and checked 'Fetch headers only'. After automatic update to 52.1.0 I could no longer download full emails from my email server by clicking on 'Download the rest of the message' hyperlink. However option 'Get selected messages' works and is active (available) from the start. I know this bug (inactive 'Get selected messages' after opening of Thunderbird) was on the Mozilla's back burner since ancient times :).
Setting opposite to default: checked 'Automatically download new messages' and unchecked 'Fetch headers only' loads emails without the problem but is potentially unsafe.

It's only potentially unsafe if you have switched off the default action of Thunderbird to not allow remote content to display or if you have changed the default and selected 'Display Attachments Inline' or you click on links in an opened email without checking whether the link is legit before clicking on it or opening attachments that are clearly bogus.
However, I notice someone else has reported an issue with downloading when they also only downloaded the headers, so I'll see if I can find out a bit more on that.
Are you talking about a gmail account ?
Did you try to see if this was due to your 'Disc Space' settings? For example: do not download messages larger than xx kb.
Another person seems to have same issue, so providing a link just in case info needs to be shared.

I have two accounts in the profile. None of them is gmail. Both demonstrate the same problem. I have no limit set for disk space.

Had to go back to 52.0.1 because 52.1.0 Fetch Headers Only (pop); messages will not load. Everything fine. Now, 52.1 just updated automatically against my choices & again messages will not load.
