all of sudden, can't send.
Not really a helpful information. Please explain in detail
- what you're doing
- what happens
- what you expect to happen.
Is there any error message?
I do not have a "work" account.
What does "work" account mean?
Sorry Chris!
I have many different email accounts in Thunderbird, until recently all of the accounts were working correctly. However, now I am unable to send emails from my gmail account, yet I am still able to receive emails.
I have checked 2-step authentication/OAuth/other various settings, and each time I am still unable to send emails. Is this common with gmail and are there any known solutions to this problem.
Thank you for the help! -Doug
What are your smtp settings for the gmail account? Do you connect through a VPN? Is the antivirus (name?) scanning outgoing mail?
Recommended settings: imap.gmail.com on 993 or pop.gmail.com on 995, smtp.gmail.com on 465. Security = SSL/TLS, authentication = OAuth2, User Name = email address. Cookies must be accepted in TB Preferences for OAuth2 authentication.

I'm having the same issue, I have no VPN or Antivirus on my PC.
