A 2011 iMac will be limited to OS X 10.13.6 "High Sierra" and no later.


That Mac should now be considered very old. Recent software will not run on it, and most recent email services will require a later macOS version.


If its operating system is older than that, upgrade it to High Sierra: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support. It will still not support most recent software.
