Mail on Mac mini shows Inbox (Read Only)

I am unable to read, see, upload emails to mail on my Mac mini. I can access though iCloud, my iPhone and I pad. Is there a solution to bring email back to Mac mini?

Mac mini, macOS 13.5

The mail application is corrupted , remove the accounts and once again add Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

If you are using secondary authentication account in which three answers for security questions , date of birth , rescue mail address and its password is added , and iCloud Keychain is set up in Mac , make sure you must have iCloud Keychain verification code in records as it will be required once you add gmail or whatever services used and iCloud account .


( a ) Open system preferences > iCloud > the box for keychain is checked , click on options , click on change security code .


( b ) Click on security code > enter new code in the fields and click on next , you have to enter the new code for the second time and click on next .


In the next window the country code is written , enter your trusted mobile number …….and click on done .

Again enter your Apple ID password to update your account settings and click on ok , hence the code is changed , so write down this code in a safe place .

Note : once the code is generated then remove mail accounts and once again add it , make sure must have correct credentials like Apple ID password , web mail address and its password in your records .
