My new iMac can send out email but cannot receive any mail. Before this I have a load of junk mails sent to me. Now I cannot receive any mail including the ones I send from my iPhone. What can I do to fix that?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.14

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


If still no good Disconnect from the Internet, then start Mail, look for the last rec'd eMail.


Quit Mail & login to your WebMail in a Browser, if possible delete any later eMails there after the last rec'd one on the Mac.
