Tips:

• Make sure to enter the correct outgoing server settings for your email provider. You can find these settings in your email provider's documentation or by contacting their support team.
• If you're using a third-party email service, you may need to enable "Less Secure Apps" or "Allow Less Secure Apps" in your email provider's settings to allow Apple Mail to connect to their servers.
• If you're experiencing issues with sending emails, try restarting Apple Mail or checking your email provider's status page for any known issues.
