Pop3 download stops and times out, requiring specific email to be deleted before it finishes.

Thunderbird Send and receive email

I have an Thunderbird email account both my wife and I use on phones, tablets and PCs. We use imap on phones and tablets, and pop3 on PCs. Occasionally when downloading the email to the PCs the download stops on a specific email and will go no further. All 3 PCs stop at the same email. IMAP can see the email that haven't downloaded, and if I delete with IMAP the email after the successful downloaded email, the pop3 Clients can download the remaining email on the server. This has happened several times and I don't see anything especially weird about the offending email. Usually some small graphics but no large attachment or anything odd? Any ideas as to what is going on?Version 140.12.1esr
