i received 1 message after the update, none have been retrieved since. the account settings are unchanged. it tries to receive, saying it's connecting to the server, then just stops without retrieving any messages.

I'm no computer expert. We use thunderbird because it's been easy and reliable for over 3 years. It is now proving otherwise.

Try disabling your anti virus email scanner. (that might require a reboot. ) Usually it is the anti virus if the status part says getting mail but none actually arrive.
