Is there anything else to try?? I tried ArtNie's solution multiple times and I am still getting "connection to the server pop.gmail.com timed out" error in Thunderbird. I have been unable to donwload email to Thunderbird for nearly a week now, very frustrating.

I'm having the same problem and solutions above from ArtNie didn't work for me. Since yesterday's update to ESET my Thunderbird times out connecting to gmail via POP. I can send messages from Thunderbird but not receive any. Please help!
Thunderbird email fetching issue
in ESET Internet Security & ESET Smart Security Premium

I was finally able to find solution for gmail pop fetching problem on another forum. If anyone else is still looking this is what finally worked for me:
"Here is the solution if you are using Eset Internet Security and can not download your emails after 30/11/2020:
1. Open Eset Internet Security – F5 – Web and e-mail – click on the SSL/TLS row – turn off the Enable SSL/TLS protocol filtering – OK – YES 2. Open Eset Internet Security – F5 – Web and e-mail – click on the SSL/TLS row – turn on the Enable SSL/TLS protocol filtering – OK – YES
Thunderbird account settings Port: 995 (for POP3) Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password
security.tls.version.min = 3 (default, no need to change it to 1 for Gmail account or any other reliable ISP)
With this settings my Gmail and any other accounts work again properly."
