Hi there Mala57,
If you are being repeatedly prompted to enter the outgoing server when using Mail on your Mac, first ensure you are following the steps outlined here to adjust these settings: Change Outgoing server settings in Mail on Mac
Also, since you are using Custom Email Domain, use the information in these articles to make sure your settings are set up correctly:
• Use Custom Email Domain with iCloud Mail
• iCloud Mail server settings for other email client apps
If this continues after looking over those, please provide more specifics on when this prompt appears and if you are able to send and receive email as expected. This will help us isolate what's happening further.
Cheers!

Hi Mala57,
Try using the steps below to edit the SMTP settings for your email account on your Mac:
1. In the Mail appon your Mac, choose Mail > Settings, click Accounts, then select an account.
2. Click Server Settings, click the outgoing Account pop-up menu, then choose Edit SMTP Server List.
3. Review information for the server; change settings as directed by your email account provider.
4. Don’t remove a server that’s in use by an account unless you’re ready to add a different server for the account.
5. Test any changes you made by sending yourself a message.
This information is from Verify an email account’s outgoing server in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
Take care.
Hello Mala57,
We recommend reaching out to Apple Support for a closer look at how your custom domains and server settings are configured: Get Support
Take care.
Hi and thx.
But I don't have those options. Im on iCloud mail and i was under the impression that if I just has iCloud mail all settings are copied from iCloud. It works perfectly on all my other devices, so I recon there is some thing wrong on my Mac.
Thx.
So if I have iCloud as my only mail, I still have to do the SMTP settings on my Mac!
On my other apple devices I only have iCloud.
