I can send email from my account on my phone, but the desk top gives me the error message - The sender address (user)@nyc.rr.com was rejected by the server smtp-server.nyc.rr.com.
How do I fix this?
Thanks

The outgoing mail server is rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.
