Receive maybe 3% of messages sent to me. Have uninstalled/installed. Help?

I archived four years worth of mail. Deleted hundreds of emails. Have four accounts in thunderbird and now receive maybe 3% of incoming mail to Thunderbird but the (1) Yahoo Browser interface gets all of them, (2) my Kindle gets all incoming mail, (3) my Android phone using Gmail gets all incoming messages.

Something is wrong with my Thunderbird which I have used for 15+ years --- have uninstalled and installed latest version. Lots of RAM, lots of hard disk space, Win10.

Thanks very much, Bruce. Yours has been the only reply and I will go down the list and see if I can get my Thunderbird working again. Will let you know how it goes.
