Mail from one of my long-time contacts is suddenly being rejected. I am using Thunderbird on this end; set up as POP to mail.hover.com with port 995.

Here is what the sender receives: From: "Mail Delivery System" <postmaster@knology.net> To: birdspires@wowway.com Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2018 9:15:20 AM Subject: Mail Delivery Failure

This message was created automatically by the mail system (ecelerity).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

That is a server refusing the delivery. It doesn't seem to me that the email client in use has any bearing on the error.

I would hope that hover.com offer you a website where you can check your incoming email. I doubt very much that this declined message can be found there, as you might expect if the failure occurred in the final delivery to you via your email client.
