Lynda, that's almost certainly a problem with your ISP or a spam 
filtering program either they or you are using.

Friends or companies are telling me that they are getting a message that the 
email that they send to me is undeliverable.  I do not know what to do.  The 
thunderbird support is too complicated for me to understand.     Lynda

Setup a free email account at Yahoo and have one of them forward you the 
bounced email.
The message should give the reason your email is bouncing.

It could well be a full mailbox, or a typo in your email address or ???

sometimes your mail server get's full (well, the space allocated to you..)
check settings for
Tools/Account Settings/
-The account ..
  -Server settings

[ ]leave messages on server
  [ ]for at most ..

1.uncheck leave on server
2.or leave it checked but "For at most" couple of days

this goes for pop server (same page, at the top..) and means you don't 
leave the msg there to fill up the server space


+
If this box is small, here's another trick i use for "full" reason,
but 
also for backup and other reasons:
-set up a gmail account
-go to your normal account on their web page and settings (it has to be 
somewhere there..)
-see if they allow mails to auto forward a copy (or alike) to another 
mail and set this to the gmail
-you may set that gmail to get into Tb also, or see it on web 
ocasionally, but you have to go in gmail settings and enable the pop 
option ..

I advise to not use that trick as a workaround for the above problem, 
but just as a backup and alternative. It did worked for me for some 
mails that insisted on not being received, for whatever reason, probably 
isp related .. But not all of them ..
