Done that (the Lifewire suggestion) and have a novella. What am I looking for? Anyone done this who can interpret them?

Same in safe mode.
Need to correct myself though. It seems to be both the imap account and the pop account. It's my isp's server it struggles to connect with.
Will take look at the Lifewire page.
Webmail working fine.

I use Thunderbird as a client for 4 email addresses. From yesterday, it's begun taking an age to log in to one POP server. It gets there eventually, and no error messages come up, but it would be great to sort it out.
I've cleared the cache but that hasn't helped. Ideas?
Start thunderbird from a shell, instead of from the menu/icon.
try
thunderbird
this will start thunderbird - it shows some messages on the console so any bad errors will show. I get a lot of messages about the user interface when I do this. See if there's anything obvious - you may need to redirect output to a file to read it properly.
If that doesn't show anything try
thunderbird --safe-mode
see if that fixes things - if it does - it's an add-in that's causing the problem.
If not, look at this https://www.lifewire.com/pop-imap-smtp-traffic-thunderbird-1173156
Scroll down to the linux section.
Note, the 1st example used "set", then 2nd used "export" I don't know what you need, so I tried both, e.g. to log just IMAP to a text file in the current directory
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4 export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4 export NSPR_LOG_FILE=~/tbird.log.txt thunderbird
obviously use POP not Imap for you.
I tried that and stressfully got a log file. I couldn't make head nor tail of it of course.
Does the pop mail has a web interface? Is that working OK?
Good luck
