So was there anything here—

If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac


Did you follow through—

Remove your email account, then add it back

If no other solutions work, follow these steps:


  1. Remove your email account in Mail.
  2. Add your email account in Mail again.
  3. Try to send and receive email.



Note—

IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync

POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them

On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
