Hotmail Delivery Failure

My emails are suddenly coming back to me as undeliverable.  It states that the delivery to the following recipients failed.  It does not give any other details as to why it failed.  It just lists their email address.  I have been sending these people emails for years with no problem and now all of a sudden whenever I send one out it comes back to me.  They are going to different emails, not just one particular email. One was comcast, verizon, gmail, etc.  I have always used the firefox browser which I love.  Can someone help me and explain why this is happening??   I have not changed any passwords or any other information lately so I'm not sure why this is happening. Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks!!

Hi there.  Thanks for the link, but when I went there, my issue was not listed, so I could not do anything regarding my emails being returned as delivery failed.  When they are returned to me, it does not list the reason why the emails are being returned.  It is an automated response that simply says that the email was not received by the recipient and it just lists their email address.  But it does not give me any instructions as to what I should do next.

Hey there.  I clicked on each of the links you provided, but each one of them says, "sorry the page you requested is unavailable."  I'm not sure what to do at this point.  I tried replying to an email that someone sent me this morning and it still came back from the postmaster saying that it was an automatically generated delivery status notification.  And all it says is delivery to the following recipients failed and then it lists their email address but gives no reason why it failed or what I can do about it.

What country are you located in?  There appears to be a problem with those links in Europe.

Hi there.  I'm in the United States. I did just what you said regarding right clicking on the message that came back.  It was a super long message that appeared when I clicked on it. This is what a part of the message said that you mentioned: 

Final-Recipient: rfc822;*** Email address is removed for privacy *** Action: failed Status: 5.6.2 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.2 Delivery SMTP Error. Command: 3. Response: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257 m75sm24941531pfj.38 - gsmtp . Type=2 (1908582017:817:-2147418113)

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi.  I went to gmail and changed my password and then I tried to send an email and it still came back to me as undeliverable.  Is anyone else having this problem too?  My passwords have not changed at all for either my gmail account or hotmail account. Not sure what is going on. Please help!
