Can you give us more details? Which Thunderbird Version, under which OS is it running? Is it setup as iMAP or POP3? can you connect to GMail via your web-browser & see your mail there? Also "stopped loading emails", what exactly do you mean with that?

Dumb question: Do Have to download and install openssl?
You asked, "Do Have to download and install openssl?"

If you type in openssl at a command line prompt + get "openssl not found", then yes, you must install openssl.

Sensible OSes (Linux, MacOS) have openssl installed by default.

I suspect WSL does too.

If you're running Windows, you'll almost surely have to find an openssl port + install it.
I've seen this from time to time. Usually because the imap server has too many messages in the inbox. 3 - 4k will usually do it

Moving or deleting messages will usually fix the problem (if that's what it is). Anything below 3k should restore flow, Again if that's the problem
I have tried everything with no success. The web mail works great...

Thanks for everyone's help!
Provide a cut + paste of all openssl commands you issued, as running this command set instantly show exact problems, so posting your output will allow someone to point out the problem.
Thanks!
