I've just run into a problem out of the blue.
On the 6th I last updated my library by fetching new chapters from E-Mail, worked fine.
Today when I tried I get this error message:
[WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Coincidentally my internet situation changed (we got a fibre connection now but the internet provider stayed the same and we still use the same router. Just the 'internet supply' to our house changed. We connected the router to the new machine and my devices connected to the wifi without any help). I don't know if this is the reason, but if yes, what can I do to make it work again?
I'm really bad at computer stuff and it took me half a month to get fanficfare and calibre to work, and now this...
Please help!

Edit: it also changes some of the new unread emails (but not all) to 'read', so it does do something there, but it doesn't fetch any metadata. I've manually changed them back to unread several times, but each time it's the same result.
