Suddenly I can't send emails today, timeout on server

I have had good success with Thunderbird until this morning when, posting a second email with photos to my wife, I got the message that the server connection timed out. I called my email internet provider locally, suggested to uninstall and reinstall, to check configuration. None of that worked. I modified one setting, the name of the outgoing server, when I checked with the protocols provided by the email/internet local provider. That also didn't help. I'm at a loss.

Thanks if you can help.

Try a message with no attachments. If that goes through, the server is not set for large attachments. You might also check size of attachments. Smartphones and cameras today often take photos that are 10 meg each or bigger, yet when resized to 50k, are just as readable on email.
