Apr 18, 2014 5:21 PM in response to tiffers05by DonnaR,Have you tried taking all accounts offline (under the Mailbox menu) and then taking them all online again?
Because you posted your question, I'm guessing you can get online, right?

Apr 18, 2014 5:32 PM in response to tiffers05by dianeoforegon,It's possible you need to login and change your passwords. The recent Heartbleed bug has required many users to change their passwords. Regardless it's a good idea to change your passswords at least once a year for security.
Open the Connection Doctor under Window when Mail is active.
You should see green lights to show accounts are connected.
You will see two entires for most accounts. One for sending (SMTP) and the other for receiving. iCloud accounts only show up as one entry.
If you see a red light you can select to Show Details button to find why you are having problems connecting.
Receiving is set in the main window for the account. Change your password then click out of the account to save.
Sending password is set in Edit SMTP. Select the account from the list. Under Advanced, add the password.
Note, sometimes you will find extra SMTP settings listed. Deleting an account does delete the SMTP settings. You can delete these.
