Mail not responding
Yesterday, 13th July, I downloaded new security updates. When I went to shut my Mac down in the evening I got the following. "The application Mail cancelled shut down. To try again quit mail & choose Apple menu to shut down. However, Mail wouldn't shut and I had to Force Quit.
Today I have had numerous mail problems: With my iCloud account: The connection to the server p12-imap.mail.com on port 993 timed out.
My gmail account takes forever to send.
I ran Repair disk permissions and tried to reboot and got the same problem with Mail not allowing me to shut the computer.
When I managed eventually to shut down I got. Mail was unable to log into the IMAP server "imap.gmail.com using password authentication"
What is going on and is this to do with the security update - a bit of a coincidence if it isn't
