Thunderbird will no longer send messages
Hi there! Thanks for your help. I have been using Thunderbird for my email client for my business for the past 3 years. Starting about 4 weeks ago, the outgoing emails I try to send do not go through and I get an error message saying "Mail delivery failed: retunring message to sender." This seems to happen primarily with gmail accounts.
The text in the failure email is below. Thanks for any help you can give!

This indicates a security error for your account, and can only be fixed by your email provider. Be sure to notify them of this, as the problem will not go away. Google has been tightening security recently and we see posts such as yours regularly.
