Hi, I have 5 different email accounts in Thunderbird. I was happily sending emails from them all this morning. But for the last few hours I'm getting the above response when \i try to s end emails from any of them (they are all different outgoing servers: gridhost, virginmedia, gmail etc). Please can anyone help? Thanks Lynne

Just realised it also isn't bringing the emails in, they stopped a couple of hours ago. Lynne
