Can't Receive or Send Messages - Connection Timed Out

Since the latest version update to 60.5, I've intermittently had problems connecting to the mail server. It won't send or receive messages, and shows an error that the connection has timed out. This issue seems to pop up randomly and the next day it might work again.

Things I've tried: • Deleting password • Restarting Thunderbird in Safe Mode • Disabling all Antivirus/malware tracking apps

Our email is hosted at dreamhost and set up through a local company. All is working fine if I log into my email in a browser.

Any ideas to fix this??

Update to add: My email started working again yesterday afternoon. Last night there was a Windows 10 update, so I installed that. This morning after a fresh boot, my email stops working again. Today, I'm getting a security certificate alert. This is related to our website/email hosting, but I have always been instructed in the past to click OK and things would work fine. Not today. Still getting the timed out error.

I tried rebooting into safe mode with networking. Email did not work there, either, so it does not appear to be a conflict with antivirus programs or firewall.
