Similar problem here.
Running Kubuntu 15.04 64 bit with Thunderbird, accessing POP mail server. It was working just fine until the update on 21 July to Thunderbird 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1. Since then it just reports no messages to get, but there are messages on the server.
>From the Mozilla bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1184488
it appears this might relate to an upstream Mozilla core security change to cease support for keys less than 1023 bits.

Title:
  Thunderbird 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 never asks for account
  password

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1, Thunderbird no
  longer asks for an account password, and accordingly cannot access
  that mail account.  Shows [user]@[server]: Connected to [mail
  server]... as status.  This status is maintained indefinitely (or at
  least beyond the limits of my patience/distraction).

  Downgrading to 1:31.6.0+build1-0ubuntu1 fixes the problem, and
  upgrading again to 1:31.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.15.04.1 brings the problem
  back.

  Running from a terminal, there is one message:
  (process:3721): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
  However, this message appears for the downgraded version as well.

  Running Thunderbird in safe mode does not fix the problem.

  Expected behaviour:  
  After launch, Thunderbird asks for password

  Actual behaviour: 
  After launch, Thunderbird never actually asks for a password

  In addition, there is a Gmail account set up, set to connect using a
  stored app password, and Thunderbird successfully fetches mail for
  this account.  The problem is only encountered for the account which
  requires me to enter a password.

  Upstream build:  Problem exists there too, so have submitted
