Firewall: Access Firewall which may be controlled by the OS or by an Anti-Virus program you installed. Thunderbird must be set up as an allowed program.
VPN Please check computer and Anti-Virus product to see if a VPN has been enabled. Server does not like VPN, it will block access. So switch off VPN or create a split tunnelling and set up Thunderbird to use it.
'Localhost' If you use a program that uses 'localhost' - some people manage websites so might use something like Apache Xampp - Switch it off until Oauth has been set up.
