Hi, have you changed your eMail password lately?
Works sometimes even if you haven’t
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Enter the part after the @sign in the search bar.
You may have duplicate or more entries in Keychain Access.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but likely old passwords interfering.
There''ll be at least 2 entries, maybe more.
The trouble is that Mac Mail almost always chooses the old Passwords if you don't change or get rid of the old ones.

The easiest way to fix it might be to delete the account from System Preferences > Internet Accounts. Then, add it again using that same Preference pane. Those instructions are provided in Set up Mail with email accounts - Apple Support.
I am having problems as I am unable to send emails from my email account, I have tried looking at the settings but I am unable to see where my problems is.
I have contacted my internet provider (Virgin Media) but they are unable to help as they do not support this.
Thank you John, I have tried looking at the settings again but although I have sent myself a test message it hasn't arrived in my inbox. Please can you help further?
Great news if it's really solved! :)
Thank you, it seems to be alright at the moment so fingers tightly crossed!
:)
