Bought a subscription to AVAST and immediately am unable to access incoming email ( sending is OK) with Mozilla Thunderbird using POP3.
My ISP says he has seen this before and suggests going back to AVAST Free!

Any ideas?

I can't see how they can say that they have seen this before as essentially the avast Mail Shield in both free and paid versions is the same.

Which avast version did you purchase, Pro or AIS ?

How did you upgrade ?
What is your ISP and doe they require SSL for their email account settings ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

::) really?

verify avast! Mail Shield options, try resetting to default.
