Have used Thunderbird for years without problems. After automatic update 3 days ago new messages downloaded extremely slowly. Now connection times out before connecting to mail.optimum.net.

Tried "safe" mode, no change to timeout problem. Wound up solving problem by uninstalling Thunderbird, then reinstalling with 60.6.1.
