Can't send mail via google mail

I have been using Apple mail for years on MacBook Pro, (mid 2015) recently am not able to send mail using Apple mail. Error is reported as:

Connection to the outgoing server, "stmp.gmail.com" failed. Set up additional Outgoing Server in "Settings.Accounts & Passwords".

Adding info for additional server via Yahoo allows me to send mail out.

Catalina 10.15.7


How can I correct this situation?


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Please refer to If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support.


If that doesn't help, 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.
