One day my ability to send emails just stopped. The message said, "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.5.1 Invalid command. Please verify that your address is correct in your account setting and try again." I have checked everything I can and have not discovered any incorrect information regarding the email address. I am able to receive emails as always. What should I do to be able to send emails again. (Can send emails on two Kindles and my desktop computer).
