How can I fix offline mail accounts on my MacBook without a VPN?
I have a very old mac that can no longer accept updates. I have always been able to keep two alternative mail accounts, one hotmail and one a mac account. I do not like having to go to Safari and sign into Outlook so I want the use of these two email accounts. For ages now the mail accounts go between online and offline but recently it's been all offline even though I'm on strong Wifi with no VPN. Is there hope of being able to take these accounts online and if so, how? I need it explained at the novice level. Any assist you can provide would be gratefully accepted. TIA
