Not receiving mail from one particular user - Mozilla

I am having a problem in thunderbird where I can't receive mail from
one particular user. Everything else comes through fine.

The user is not marked as spam.

Does anyone know anything else that might be causing this problem?

are you getting "absolutely nothing" or do you get the mail, but there
is nothing to be read?

I receive mail from every other person in the world, but from one
email address.

for ex:

personA@mail.com never comes through

but all other emails are received alll day long

wondering if maybe i marked that email address as some thing that
prevents it from coming through now? i know its not marked as spam. Is
there another setting i could have accidentally applied to it?

I used to receive emails from this person all the time.

it is thinkable that the SENDER has got your eMail address wrong - a
common error is a comma instead of the dot.

Write that person a mail and ask them to check your address in their
addressbook!
You can also check by asking them to REPLY to that mail you send, but
not to write a NEW mail!

Yeah we've tried that a few times and we're still not getting through.

It's weird cause everything used to work fine, never had any problems.

what do you mean "everything used to work fine?" Have you receive his
messages before? Can you access you email account via the web? If so,
are his messages arriving there?

You are confused; but this is your normal state.

Does the sender get a bounce message? My email is with godaddy, which
recently made it a default to bounce all "non-Western" mail. Some of my
clients who use Outlook have their mail encoded as "Western with
umlauts", which godaddy thinks isn't a Western encoding. They do get a
bounce message.

MARTIN:

No they dont even get a bounce back email. its like the emails are
just falling off the earth


FRANK TABOR:
im checking on this:

"Tools|Message Filters and make sure you haven't kill filed him."


PETER:
and what i meant about it used to work fine was that this probelm only
recently started happening. i have been emailing this person for the
past 2 years and never had a problem. now all of a sudden his emails
from one particular account arent going through. all his other emails
with the problem account are going through fine, just the ones to me
arent coming through.

gonna check the webmail to see if the emails are coming through there.

Contact your ISP or e-mail service provider and ask them if they have, for
whatever reason, black-holed the domain from which your correspondent is
sending.

You might also want to confirm that your correspondent isn't using an open
proxy or doing anything that might give a domain mis-match.

If the sender cc's himself on a message to you, does he receive it? Do
you have any alternate e-mail addresses that he can try to send to? How
about a yahoo, or gmail, etc address? But it certainly sounds like your
incoming mail server is trapping and discarding the sender's e-mails as
spam.
