If you are using ESET/NOD32 security/AV then probability is very high it is causing your problems. According to their forums, you should temporarily disable SSL until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf - the problem is being reported by dozens of users https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/

I have the same issue with a bunch of other accounts. Thunderbird (75.8.0 on Windows 10 Pro) just stopped downloading mails. It seems like it is trying to connect but to no avail.
