First verify with your mail provider there is not a temporary issue with the SMTP server—this is out of your control.


if this is an @iCloud account — i see no server issues

Apple - Support - System Status


Try back later, server issue are typically resolved in short order.


If it is on your side—use the Connection Doctor>Show Details, make changes and ty again
