That message usually means that either the address or password was entered incorrectly. Most email providers have a website you can go to to check your mail, such as https://www.icloud.com. First thing to try would be logging into the website with the same credentials you tried in Mail. If it doesn't work, you may need to change your password or contact your email provider.

You do not specify what kind of email account is this.. there have been some issue with Exchange, Outlook, 365,

gmail.

In that case verify you have Safari set as the default browser and try again.
