Since update to 38.3.0 my Thunderbird road runner email accounts will not retrieve emails. The status bar shows that it is connected to the pop-server.nc.rr.com but it hangs there, eventually times out without retrieving the emails. Uninstalled and reinstalled the application but it still won't work. The only extension was lightning and disabling it didn't help. The only add on active is flash player.

Start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win10 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-startup-settings-in-windows-10 - win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode - win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 - XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx

If problem goes away, then cause is something like antivirus or firewall software
