No emails being downloaded on IMAP account but other pop3 OK, Inbox folder contents disappeared after folder repair, Error saving sent messages to folder,

I've done the upgrade and things have been quirky since then. First off couldn't see new massages but then after 36 hrs that started working. I've noticed that I'm not receiving emails to my imap account but other pop3 profiles are working fine. I've checked and verified email settings. Tried to repair inbox folder and then all my Inbox messages disappeared Sending email from imap account works but error saving to sent folder (verified that is where it is pointing) I've attached my error console screen shot. On a side note, even before the update, my mail in the IMAP account shows as being read when it has not been, and the filters don't always work automatically.

Here is the troubleshooting info

Sometimes when an update is performed, the firewall prevents the "new" program from in- and out-calls. You might need to set up an exception in Avast. Also it could relate to TB 38.1.0 removing support for TLS keys of 512bits. see https://weakdh.org/


Are they set to run before or after junk?

Screenshot is a PDF and wouldn't upload... Here is the dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/s/ssz8i0109l70f8r/Error%20console.pdf?dl=0

I was able to access my account by disabling my Avast and reverting to 38.0.1 Not sure which one or a combo of both but all of inbox is back.

I only have this issue now... my mail in the IMAP account shows as being read when it has not been, and the filters don't always work automatically in that account. They work fine when run manually though Thanks

The filters are run before Junk.
