Please note that everything was working fine on Friday, and on Saturday morning. Then, shortly after noon on Saturday, mail stopped coming into my two RoadRunner accounts. I had not knowingly changed any settings on the iMac on Saturday before noon.
I had gone through all the things listed in the "If you can't receive emails in Mail on Mac", except for the "Choose Window > Connection Doctor", before I submitted my issue online. Where/how to I find "Window > Connection Doctor"?
The tech support person from my email account provider (RoadRunner/Spectrum) indicated that I should be sure that the iMac was using Incoming Port 993 and Outgoing Port 587. I have been unable to find the port assignments, so do not know if they are currently using those ports; if they are not using those ports, I obviously do not know where to go to change them.
