Failure to receive all emails

I have begun to experience a failure of the receipt of emails. Some come through okay, but I know that all are not coming through, as I have certain messages that come to me each night, and they are not appearing. I have sent test messages to myself, and some come and some never appear. I have checked with my email provider, and their system appears okay. I cannot figure out where to look for the problem. I am using Thunderbird, a DSL connection via Optimum Online and RCN as email provider. TIA for any suggestions.
 
Have you checked to see if your mailbox is full or near its limit? Are you using outlook for email?

I am using RCN.
I have solved the problem. It appears RCN was blocking my a/c. They thought I owed them money. They screwed up when I changed my address. After 4 phone calls, I finally reached someone whose IQ was greater than the outside temperature who figured out what was going on, and fixed the problem. The key really was that the cut-off was not universal, and therefore, was not easy to solve.
Thanks for your inputs.
Keep after them if you think thy are missing something.
