iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->

Delete and recreate your email settings.

Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

My issue was solved when OS X 10.10.3 came out. If your sys is not current, update it. Solved the problem for me.

I have 10.10.3. My updates are current. I've deleted and redone my email account several times and nothing seems to correct the issue. Would you have any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Why should you have to use mail? Check with Apple tech support if you can.
