Hi there Prešov,


If emails aren't being sent as expected on your Mac, have a look at the information below for some guidance on some things you can check:


* Make sure the outgoing (SMTP) mail server is specified as directed by the provider of your email account. See Verify an email account’s outgoing server.
* Choose Window > Connection Doctor, then follow the instructions displayed in the Details column.
If there’s a firewall problem, verify that firewall software isn’t blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587. Also check whether you’re affected by another firewall, such as software installed separately from macOS or built into an internet sharing router, or administered by your email account provider. Contact the appropriate person for information.

You'll find that information here: If you can’t send emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


If the issue persists, and your emails aren't sending, work through the remaining suggestions in this support article to see if they resolve the issue for you: If you can’t send or receive email on your Mac - Apple Support


Take care.
