All was working fine. Then, this morning when sending an emial I got "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 4.7.1 Too many messages from abcdefg@email.net 4.7.1 Please try again later. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I am runnng Windows10-home. All my Outgoing Server SMTP information is correct. I am able to receive emials. I installed the latest version, 78.5.1 and still unable to send emails. Suggestions? Thank you, Richard

The message is from your mail provider telling you that you have sent more emails than they allow. This will probably be in a 24 hour period, but some also have a maximum per hour. In all cases I am aware of a single email with 50 recipients counts as 50 emails. So a couple of family Christmas mail-out might well cause issues you normally do not see for instance.
