Apple Mail app cannot connect to yahoo/gmail SMTP.

Outlook is able to connect without any problems. Strange!!!

Anyone had such isssues and managed to resolve it.

Hope to hear some good news.

Tks

Use the Connection Doctor...

Mail>Windows>Connection Doctor

Make changes to your server settings

Mail>Settings>Accounts>Server Settings

if in doubt contact/search —yahoo/gmail SMTP

For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.

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
