Mail problem I have problems connecting on Mail with the notice "Connections to the server “imap.gmail.com” on the default ports timed out." While this query has come up before, none of the answers are able to guide me how to solve the problem. Surely lots of people have this problem so there must be a solution that is simple enough to follow. Thanks for your time.

I keep getting 'Connections to the server “p36-imap.mail.me.com” on the default ports timed out.' I've removed the account (internet accounts) and deleted everything, and then signed in again. Same issue. I've had this for several weeks now. No issue with sending and receiving on my phone, or via the web browser, but not on my Mac (M1 2020) with Venture 13.2.1 Any clues?

How to fix: Connections to the server “p71-imap.mail.me.com” on the default ports timed out? OS system upgrade seems to have caused an email glitch for my iCloud email address. I can receive email in the internet iCloud and on my phone, but my computer can't hold the connection. Any ideas about how to get Mail back to normal would be appreciated!
