Regardless of the device...


Use a New App Password:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the MacBook, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password is intended to fix). For example, go here for gmail: Sign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
