Hi, DebraHuett, maybe I can help you (a bit).... IMAP and not SMTP (or POP3) is the "new" default email protocol....
Here's the IMAP setttings for @mac.com email (see link) https://getmailspring.com/setup/access-mac-com-via-imap-smtp
you might want to try this: sign out from iCloud, shut down your MacBook Pro 13", do a reset smc/PMU and zap pram 4 times, then let it boot up as per usual, and then sign in with iCloud....
hope this helps??
