Under Window in the Menu bar, select Connection Doctor. Do you see any red symbols for your accounts? If yes, you most likely need to add your password for SMTP for that account.


EDIT SMTP SETTINGS



In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP: select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.


Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)


Under Advanced Tab:


Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.



Verify if your server require SSL.


User Name. Enter full email address eg. UserName@gmail.com

Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password more info)

Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.

Do you see green symbol now for your account SMTP?
