iCloud mail stopped sending

Hello, so my iCloud email ID (which I only use on my MacBook Air via the Apple Mail software) stopped sending mail. I've spent significant chunks of 2 days trying to figure it out with an Apple tech person. I've tried all of the things they recommended including:


  1. Deleting my iCloud account
  2. Updating my software
  3. Trying it on Safari in iCloud (where it does work)
  4. Changing various system and mail preferences settings


Any idea why this might happen? Or any solutions?


Thank you.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

First thing is to check the Apple Status Webpage as sometimes the Apple Service maybe malfunctioning


Secondly, what does Connection Doctor in Apple Mail report refer to image below



Are you Manually trying to Configure Apple Mail to iCloud which should not be necessary but had to ask ?


Then >>
