Can not get iCloud mail on MacMail to send messages. I have tried changing the port, deleting program and changing security but none of these have helped. This has occurred even when Status is green.
Mac mini 2018 or later
Hello kgc2000,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with the iCloud email and the Mac Mail app.
Please start by checking Connection Doctor: Use Connection Doctor in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Next, please go through the troubleshooting here: If you can’t send emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Also, it may be beneficial to verify if iCloud works when you use your browser Safari and log in to iCloud.com. This article can help: Get help using iCloud Mail - Apple Support
Thanks and have a wonderful day.

In gmail accounts with latest version of Mac the settings are done automatically and there is no need to enter them manually , if you try to enter forcefully they won't be accepted and account will not be configured properly .
I can use my work email via Mac mail app and log into iCloud via browser to read and send email. I tried reloading Catalina today.
I don't seem able to send email via mail app when using my iCloud account. I have tried deleting, restarting and then adding it back in.
I am using host name: smtp.mail.me.com and smtp.icloud.mail.com
I have tried selecting and deselecting "automatically manage connection settings". I have tried setting it to port 25, 587, and 465 with Use TLS/SSL selected and not selected. I have also tried changing authentication
To sync mail application always a third party mail service is used with icloud .
Create a mail account with gmail services https://support.google.com/mail/answer/56256?hl=en
And make sure the mail address and password is kept same as Apple ID and password and signed in system preferences > iCloud .

The connection doctor show green dots as port settings were done correctly .
