Internet connection timeout elapsed. Continue waiting?

What is happening to my avast please? :o
You should increase the timeout value. Click on the avast’s “a”-icon in Windows taskbar, click Details>>, double-click “Internet Mail”, select Advanced and customize the timeout.
Also increase the timeout in your email client. (Thunderbird, I presume)
As Eddy said you should also increase the Tbird timeouts as this is the more likely to give the first occurance as it by default is shorter than avast’s.
Unfortunately this is not a simple GUI change.
Thunderbird does not provide a way of changing the POP3 timeout in the GUI. You need to create a user preference override.
You can do this by creating (or adding to) a file called user.js in your Thunderbird profile folder.
To change the POP3 timeout add the lines:
// Increase pop3 timeout:
user_pref(“mail.pop3_response_timeout”, 90);
In this example the timeout is set to 90 seconds (instead of the default 45 seconds of Thunderbird). Adjust the time as you need.
