Hello, 2 days ago Thunderbird stopped checking for new email upon loading (as it is set to do) and also won't remember my open tabs as it usually showed when loading. What should I check or close in the profile? Thank you.

Failure to get mail at startup is a long-standing problem:

If the tabs open at last exit aren't opened on restart, Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, delete or rename session.json. Test if tabs are remembered between starts.
