Error message says user name not owned by me, but it is! How do I fix that to use my additional email address?

When I try to send an email from one of my email accounts, I get an error message saying this the email address is not owned by my other email address so it won't send. It used to work, so I'm a bit confused as to what happened and what I can do to fix it.

Thanks for any help! I appreciate it!

Your second account is probably using the first account's SMTP server for sending and needs its own.
