When I try to send an email I get:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1 <lxxxxxxxx@peopleshomeequity.com>... Relaying denied: You must check for new mail before sending mail.

I have checked both emails that use Thunderbird for new mail.

Relaying usually indicates that you are using one providers SMTP server to send mail from an address that is not theirs. Post your troubleshooting info so we can see your setup.
