My previous e-mail client, Foxmail, is still picking up e-mails normally. Sending e-mails from Thunderbird (TB) OK. I installed TB in July and started using it very recently, so I've very little experience of it, and don't know what to do next. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all responders: I followed the advice for ESET SSL and it cleared the problem immediately. I am using ESET 'Internet Security'.
