I don't have an account with either AOL or Verizon, so can't help with
specifics of the configuration for each. However, seeing this, I wonder
whether the accounts might both be configured to use the same SMTP
server configuration?
Even though the server details might be exactly the same for AOL and
Verizon, you might need to ensure that your AOL address is used as the
username when sending from your AOL address, and that the Verizon
address is used as the username when sending from your Verizon address.
Some servers only allow you to send mail from the address you used to
log in. This may not have mattered if they previously allowed only the
part before the "@" to be used, particularly if that was the same for
both accounts, but it might matter now if they've changed that.
Only one SMTP server configuration will be default, so if both accounts
have been left set to use the default server, one of them might be
attempting to send mail using the other's address as the login. From
Edit > Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings:
- Select the AOL account in the left-hand panel and see what the
"Outgoing Server (SMTP)" is set to near the bottom of the dialog.
- Do the same for the Verizon account.
- Select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" in the left-hand panel and see which
servers you have configured.
If the AOL and Verizon accounts are both set to use the same server,
that may be the problem. If not, double-check the settings for both
servers:
- Are all the addresses, ports and authentication details correct?
- In particular, is the one used by the AOL account using the AOL email
address as the username, and the one used by the Verizon account using
the Verizon address as the username?
I might on completely the wrong track with this. There have been a lot
of suggestions in this thread, so apologies if this has already been
covered.
