SMTP settings

Recently, out of the blue, my mail [set up on my iMac mail program] stopped sending mail. I thought signing into iCloud account would auto set this up for me, it hasn't. I tried adding an account, but to no avail. What information do I need to be putting into these fields for the SMTP

Thanks for any help

Mac OS Mail - Cannot send the message using the server iCloud I'm unable to send emails from my iCloud account though receive them fine. When sending a message I get a dialogue box titled "Cannot send the message using the server iCloud" with the following: --- Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator. The server response was: <unknown[58.174.60.140]>: Client host rejected: Access denied Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent. --- I get the option to select a different outgoing server, 1 is iCloud and although it shows it can't be selected, the other is my internet providers server and while this lets the email send the message gets quarantined by their mail systems. I've been through the support articles but none have been able to help so any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Unable to send iCloud email from M1 MacBook Air Now and then I am unable to send iCloud email with my M1 MBA. It works fine with my old Intel iMac and with my iPad and iPhone. The error message is here: The MBA is now running Monterey, but the same thing happened when it was on Ventura. Connection Doctor says: If I go into Mail > Settings > Accounts on the MBA, I see this: iCloud is offline. But on the Intel iMac, I see this: iCloud is online. How can it be both? I don't think that this can be a user name or password problem because this is iCloud mail which uses my iCloud credentials -- no password required. What's going on here?

Mail will not send iCloud Mail Hello. I just set up my new MacBook, and Mail will not send mail through the iCloud server. I have inserted the output below. It will send through any other email server I have, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc but I can not figure out how to get iCloud mail to send. Do I need to set up the outgoing SMTP server with an app-specific password? I've never had to do that in Mail before. Can not message using the server iCloud Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator. The server response was: <unknown[75.143.197.223]>: Client host rejected: Access denied Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
