Clear cache, data, etc. on your browser. In effect, reset it. Sounds like it got flakey or that some JavaScript is hanging around that shouldn't.

Hope you're not bitcoin mining for someone out there.

Thunderbird should connect with any IMAP server ( highly recommended to use IMAP). I don't know about spectrum email servers. Comcast and Apple have been very steady. Spectrum used to be Verizon, IIRC ( Frontier somewhere in between?). I never tried though I am actually on spectrum cellular (aka Verizon). Never used any other of their services.

Mail setup, when it's not magically done behind your back, can be complex, regarding SSL. TBird just made some major changes, so I might try it again.
