Thunderbird 45.0 stops connecting to my email server claiming no common encryption ciphers
Attempt to send or receive emails shows no common ciphers in the error console. The list of ciphers available on the server are as follows:
Protocols: TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1 and TLS1.2
Ciphers available: AES256-SHA256: AES128-SHA256 : ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 : ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 : AES128-GCM-SHA256 : AES256-GCM-SHA384 : DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256
Seems like a pretty wide variety (aes256-sha256 should be universal, I'd think)

cypher lengths have increased. try 2048 bit
I also suggest you put your server in here https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ perhaps they have some suggestions.
Have you updated the server for logjam? http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/logjam-and-thunderbird.html
I suggest you have a look here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS those are the server side setting Mozilla recommend for a range of things TLS
