often when programs on your computer update the antivirus (or it's software firewall) block access to the internet. Given that Thunderbird is in an update cycle I am guessing it is quite probably what has happened to you.

i've never had this happen on an update. i use thunderbird for my optimum mail acct and i have AVG protection software. how do i rectify the problem of my mail not loading. all my folders are in tact and i know i have new mail because i can see it on the optimum site.
