iPad is working ok.
My email is not sending from my iMac (iCloud). Just goes straight to outbox, then tries to send, comes back with a message p05-smtp.mail.me.com
If I go into iCloud web page, then I can send and receive as normal.
Any suggestions please
iMac 27", macOS 10.15
Uncheck mail in the System Preferences, internet accounts setup for that account.
Restart the mac with the shift key held down as soon as the restart commences and hold down throughout (Safe Boot)
Restart as normal.
In internet accounts check mail back on
OK go to System preferences, Users and groups and create a new user with full Admin privileges.
Log out of your normal user and log into the new user account.
Set it up with the same AppleID
When set up, set up Mail with your AppleID mail
Test again
If it works OK then it proves a corruption in your old user ~/Library
Bad news is it is a devil to fix in your normal User account. There is no "Reset Mail Settings" command. You need to first close Mail and then delete the ~/Library/Mail/V7 folder
Then with the app Easyfind locate and delete every file in ~/Library with "Mail" in it. Even then you may not have fixed it.
Easier to move all your user files to your new user account.
Anyhow I am ahead of events, try the new user account!
PS to find your ~/Library in Finder click Go, then Go To Folder, then copy and paste
~/Library
into the box and hit enter
Peter, thank you, that has worked. I’ve sent an email to myself, seemed to be ok now.
this is what I couldnt fund earlier
Are you able to delete that account from mail, and add it back, or is it your AppleID account?
I use same Apple ID. I’ve tried to delete and reinstall but still the same. I do have a backup but prefer to just change something instead.
Great!
Peter, think I have been running on Safe Mode all day. Everything working ok. Just done a restart, checked email sending and it's gone straight to outbox again.
