Hi,
When I try to change account settings, I go to Mail, Preferences, Accounts. If I choose an account, under Server Settings all settings are gone and only Account Outgoing E-mail is present. This happend shortly after ugrading to High Sierra version 10.13.3 as far as I can see.
Anyone ideas?
Thx!

Leave the settings as it is even if you try your best to alter these settings it won't change , these settings are done automatic like no need to have enter port settings , fill up the username and password and rest of credentials .
See this screen shot for Mac OS high Sierra 10.13.4 for an IMAP account .

I suppose this depends on the type of account, as the options differ for iCloud, other IMAP, or POP accounts (and, presumably also Exchange, though I don't have one to test).
What type of account are you referring to?
Hi Tygb,
Thx but that isn't the problem. I can't even change the password. The complete list is empty. I know the settings shouldn't be altered but besides that, changing a password should be handy, not?
Apple mail application is a configuration to web mail account ( gmail services ) , the passwords for gmail account are always changed at server account .
The gmail account is secured by the google services and are giving priviledges to google user and they protect your gmail account , there was no method previously to change password from apple mail application .
So , its not of question of handy , suppose you gave permissions to any one to change gmail password from apple mail application , so what is the purpose of security it will fade out .

Hi Luis,
All accounts are Gmail IMAP accounts and even the iCloud account doesn't show any info.

For the last few versions of the OS, the correct place for changing an account password is in System Preferences->Internet Accounts, not in the preferences of Mail.
mail server settings gone
