If I remember correctly, there were some TLS issues in Emacs 26.1 that
caused these problems.  I'd recommend upgrading to a newer Emacs version
and see whether that fixes the issue.

Thank you.

Now I understand this issue. I have another version of GNU Emacs (27.1) 
that works.

This can be closed.
