Suddenly cannot receive email in Thunderbird

I haven't received any email since last night, so I logged onto the server and sure enough, there is email there waiting for me, but Thunderbird is not downloading it, nor am I getting any error message pop-ups. My wife is also running Thunderbird and her email account is on the same server as mine and she has no problem getting email. I tried sending her an email and I was able to send email. I opened the Thunderbird error console and there are several errors and warnings listed, but they don't give me a clue as to what to do. I have not recently made any changes to Thunderbird, or to my computer, so I'm at a loss. I'll attach an image of the error console messages. If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Patrick

The problem is now resolved, though I don't know what happened to fix it. I was about to reinstall Thunderbird when it started downloading emails, so I guess I'll hope that it stays fixed.

I don't see the attachment, so here it is again. Also, I am on version 38.1.0 of Thunderbird.

Thanks, Patrick
