Can not connect to my Gmail accounts running Thunderbird v.52 under Win 10 Home. I have POP protocol for all of them and Gmail side is setup for "POP enable". Issue has started when I moved Thunderbird from old laptop with Win 7 Professional to new one with Win 10 Home. Tested old laptop with Thunderbird v.52 on Win 7 Professional - works just fine.

Tested with antivirus off (I have ESET) - did not help either. Tested with Safe mode and Add-ons disabled - did not help Tested under Win 7 compatibility mode - did not help

You should not be using POP3 with GMail.

See this KB article for GMail integration in Thunderbird, it has detailed information on setup and other particularities.
