Running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on Mid 2011 iMac
Message: Connections to the server “p19-imap.mail.me.com” on the default ports timed out
Occasionally the email account connects up but it seems very flakey. I have just closed down a WhatsApp webpage in my browser and the email connected up.
Has anyone else experienced this as an anomaly?

Uncheck the Automatically manage connection settings option for both Incoming Mail Server (IMAP) and Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).
Enter 993 in the Port field for Incoming Mail Server (IMAP).
Enter 587 in the Port field for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).
Make sure the Use TLS/SSL checkboxes are checked for both incoming and outgoing email.

Thanks for this. I'm sorry but I can't seem to do this. When I open accounts in Mail there is only iCloud iMAP. There are three headings - Account information, Mailbox behaviours and server settings. I can't see any options for checking or unchecking IMAP or SMTP settings. The apple Mail is version 10.3.
