The account on Thunderbird for my e-mail address will not let me update my in box. When I go to 'New Messages' there is a padlock over the envelope and I do not get any new messages. How do I sort this to allow mw to be able to receive my massages?

The padlock simply means it is an account that uses a secure connection. It is unlikely to have any relevance to your inability to get messages. Who is the account provider?
