When I try to send an email on my Yahoo address it says it needs password for SMTP. I put password again but not accepted. When I cancel it says to check STMP settings. These are correct. When I use my aol address it says I have exceeded limits on IMAP. My aol works fine on mmy iphone. I have not used this account a lot so no danger of limits being reached. Both accounts worked fine until yesterday. Sending and receiving. This happened suddenly. Both accounts receive OK. HELP PLEASE

What is the exact error message?

An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: 5.7.1 : Oops! You have exceed our rate limit policy. For more info please visit: http://help.channels.aol.com/topic.adp?topicId=RL.

Did you follow the 'more info' link? This should tell you everything you need to know. If it doesn't answer your question please contact AOL. This is an error message from the server, and not a Thunderbird problem.

I followed the link. No help. I also get problems on my Yahoo address. that is suddenly working again but will probably stop again soon. Both addresses stopped working, for sending, at the saame time.
