use WebMail.


^-- that is a really fancy name for using a Browser, and entering the direct address of your email provider to get access without using Apple Mail software. Apple Mail can only identify ONE issue -- that the server did not respond -- and has only ONE solution -- username or password error.


Once you have access with WebMail, you can make certain the username and password are acceptable, then replicate this to Apple mail, and if there is no other problem, it should work again.
