Another idea: Maybe there is an email on the server causing a log jam. Maybe it was in the Inbox, but got moved to 'spam' and this is causing an issue.
Log on to webmail account using a browser. Empty the 'Spam' folder.
In Thunderbird click on 'Get Messages' If still no joy, then make a note of the last email you successfully downloaded. Log on to webmail account using a browser. Look for the oldest not yet downloaded email in Inbox and move it another folder.
then retry: In Thunderbird click on 'Get Messages'

That sort of error is usually caused by anti virus email scanning.... try disabling it and see how you go.
Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled the scanning but it didn't help. Maybe I should try backing up and then reinstalling?

You're a gem! It was a spam email sitting in my server's inbox which I deleted & hey presto - download time. Many thanks. The virtual beers are on me.
