I have been using three email accounts on Thunderbird, all for a long period of time, and all without any issue. Recently the one listed below has not been backing up, and I receive this message. I am not techie at all, so any response needs to be dummy down to a 5th grader level. Thanks!

Essentially, the error means that Thunderbird cannot communicate securely to the server. It's best to wait a few hours and try again later.
