If you are using ESET/NOD32 security/AV then probability is very high it is causing your problems. According to ESET forums, you should temporarily disable SSL on ESET until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf - the problem is being reported by dozens of users https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/

Hi, I did the disable/enable of ssl filtering on NOD32, and the connection tried to start. But the problem finally was that Gmail needed to have disabled the Less Secure Apps option. Gmail considers Thunderbird as Non Secure App. I switched off this option and Thunderbird started to work again. Thanks a lot for your help
