I have been at EDIT - account config - account name - server config - OK to check new messages at beginning AND OK to check new messages every 15 minutes. Then Accepted. Did the same in 4 local accounts. Closed the TB, restarted, let TB working, but by several hours later TB was not downloading mail. If I press to download manually, ok it goes downloading the content in 4 accounts. Definitely, I'm jumping a step. Which one? TKS!!!!!!

Does safe mode help? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

If no, then check error console (Tools, Developer Tools) for relevant errors
