Why are some messages to me being bounced back to the sender, and how can I fix it?

I've had thunderbird for years and it's always worked fine. The last few days it has started to bounce messages back to people trying to contact me. In the error console I see such messages as : Timestamp: 2/16/2015 1:00:20 PM Warning: Unknown property 'mso-style-priority'. Declaration dropped. Source File: mailbox:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/suwgpu1o.default/Mail/incoming.verizon.net/Inbox?number=120800307 Line: 50, Column: 20 Source Code:

{mso-style-priority:99;

panose-1:2 4 5 2 5 4 5 2 3 3;}

Some messages are still getting through to me, but others are not. What's happening, and what can I do??

... has started to bounce messages back to people trying to contact me.

How do you know? There usually is a cause given in the error message the sender gets. Please post the complete error message.

Thunderbird has no facilities to bounce or refuse emails. Your providers server either accepts or refuses emails sent to you. Thunderbird just downloads messages that actually make it into your Inbox on the providers server. You need to address this with your provider.
