Next, we will make sure our SMTP server settings are correct, as Apple Mail tends to change them automatically during setup -

Select the Accounts tab at the top of the window, then select your IMAP email account from the left pane
-
Click on the Server Settings tab, next to Mailbox Behaviors
-
Under Outgoing Mail Account, Uncheck the automatically manage connection settings. (Make sure you do it under SMTP, and not IMAP, as they have the same checkbox) this will unlock a new area below
-
Change the Port Number to 587
-
Close the Accounts window
-
Finally, go back to the Mail app. Your mail should begin downloading shortly if it hasn’t already.
