old issue, new issue, what changed...(?)


Verify the issue is on your end and not the server end.

You have no control if your SMTP server is down(?)— search or contact whoever it is that host your email.

Typically known server issues are resolved in fairly short order and a matter of trying at a later date.

The go to way to sort local issues is to remove the email account and simply add it back in.
