I have 4 email accounts in Thunderbird that I have used for more than a year. Suddenly last week I got the following error when sending from one of the accounts: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. Sender address is not allowed..Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I checked this account's settings to make sure they were identical to those of the other three. Finally, I deleted the account and re-added using the same information. I was able to send email for about 12 hours. Then, the same error returned. What is wrong? What should I do? Note that I can send email from this account using webmail on ionos.com, my website host where all the email addresses reside.

This may not apply, but I suggest checking to confirm there are four SMTP server setups and that each account is linked to just the one that matches the account email id. Then, post a screenshot of the SMTP setup for the failing account.

All 4 have the same SMTP server settings. The attachment shows the one for the failing account.

Try changing to port 587 and STARTTLS . From your screenshot, I assume the full email address is used, even though it doesn't appear in screenshot.

I tried what you said, but it made no difference. Any other ideas?

Ken, have you solved it?
