One of my inboxes does not receive emails in the inbox all of a sudden. Rest of the accounts set up work fine.

I have set up Thunderbird in a way if I get an email there it automatically sends it to my Yahoo account as well. I got the messages on Yahoo not on Thunderbird. This worked 2 years just fine, all of a sudden can t get messages in the Thunderbird Inbox (new ones). No error message nothing. Rest of the accounts are working in Thunderbird Inbox and all.

Solved: Checked CPanel from provider apparently I did not delete emails for a while, reached my limit on the inbox so I increased the limit and deleted old emails. Now inbox works again.

Fix was simple, would recommend others to check this first.
