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:

Deleting my iCloud account
Updating my software
Trying it on Safari in iCloud (where it does work)
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 >>

Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale. What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase

Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions

This will include CleanMyMac , This will include BitDefender ,

This will included Norton Antivirus , Sophos Av Software

Intego AntiVirus, McAfee, MacKeeper, Avast AntiVirus
