BD2017 blocks my email
I just installed BitDefender Total Security 2017 on my Windows 10 computer. Instantly my Thunderbird email client lost the ability to either send or receive emails. I disabled the BD Antispam Toolbar in Thunderbird, but the only thing that allows me to send or receive emails is to completely disable Bitdefender real-time protection, which of course is not good.
I checked Bitdefender Firewall settings, it shows thunderbird.exe as "allow".
What do I need to do?
Thanks.

Please also provide them with a screenshot if Thunderbird is giving any error messages.0 -
I tried the Bitdefender "repair" option (under Windows control panel uninstall options) and that did not seem to change anything. In desperation I tried changing security settings for my pop servers in Thunderbird, and found that for one of my servers, changing security from SSL/TLS to STARTTLS allowed them to work. But nothing helped my Gmail popmail accounts in Thunderbird. Until today when I let Windows 10 go ahead and apply the Creators Update. After that, with no more changes, my Gmail popmail accounts began working again. So, I don't know why it got fixed, but all the components seem to be playing well together again, so I'm ok.

On 4/22 my problem started again: Thunderbird could not retrieve my Gmail while Bitdefender was active. Again, nothing that I tried helped.
Today, 4/24, I had a Bitdefender notification that an update required a restart to complete. After that, all is well! Seems like a good update!
