Loaded up emails this morning only to find that there were none in the inbox, which there always is. On loading my gmail there were several emails received overnight. As I have the two linked, I know they should have been in Thunderbird. Tried to send an email and although it states email sent, there is nothing in the sent folder, and the attached message comes up. Anyone any ideas. All i've done so far is turn the router off and back on again, but no joy.

If you are using ESET/NOD32 security/AV then probability is very high it is causing your problems. According to their forums, you should temporarily disable SSL until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf - the problem is being reported by dozens of users https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/
