Suddenly today no emails are downloading to any of my accounts in Thunderbird. I have several cox, gmail, and outlook accounts, and they all were working fine yesterday. I am still able to send emails from Thunderbird, just not see the incoming emails.

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/
