This happened suddenly without me apparently updating anything in my settings. My laptop sent emails easily and one of my other email addresses worked.

go to Settings>Mail>Your email account>Outgoing mail server>got to the server. my username and password were populated with 'optional'. I entered my email address and the password for that email address.

This immediately fixed the problem. (I have never ever touched those settings before in my life!!!!)
