This has nothing to do with the wifi router.
I see the exact same issue when I use a USB mobile broadband modem instead.
(whops, I thought I had already mentioned that, I hadn't).
Also note (again) my steps to reproduce the issue:
Steps to reproduce:
Make sure you're not connected to network
Open Thunderbird
Connect to network.
CHECK THAT THE NETWORK CONNECTION WORKS BY OPENING A WEB PAGE IN A BROWSER
Go to Thunderbird and click "get mail"
So, between connecting to the network and having TB check mail, I check
that everything else works by surfing the web with a browser. No matter
how much time I wait, the FIRST time TB tries to fetch mail it
systematically fails, even if it is several minutes after connecting to
network; the SECOND time it succeeds.
Frankly, I wouldn't look for the cause of this outside TB.
By the way, my DNS is NOT defined as 192.168.1.1, it is 8.8.4.4
(Google's DNS).
Regarding the other issue, the NONSENSE is that:
1. when connection to the server fails for whatever reason, no matter whether
it is because the host is unreachable or because the name can't be resolved, it
must show a message telling you what the failure is (such as "couldn't resolve
domain name", or whatever), not a message that tells you what was the last
thing it did and which doesn't even tell you whether it was a success or
failure! ("looked up xxxx", as in "I looked up the domain. Don't ask me whether
I found it or not"). When you tell a program to do something it must end in
either or two ways: (a) "I'm finished doing what you asked me: the result is
xxxx", or (b) "I couldn't complete the task because something went wrong: the
error was xxxxx".
2. Even if you are not connected to the internet at all, it still says "looked
up gmail.com"!!!! That's complete nonsense.

Title:
Thunderbird complains there is no connection on resume from suspend,
when there is a connection
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
When I resume from suspend, network manager quickly re-establishes a
WiFi internet connection. With an active connection, I try to check
my mail with Thunderbird, but it complains that it can't connect to
the IMAP server. This seems to happen after longer suspend periods
because if I try to replicate the behaviour by quickly suspending and
resuming (suspend of a few seconds), I get no warning.
