Can't send emails for MacPro

I had same issue with iPad telling me user name or p/w is incorrect, but as soon as I posted problem to community it cleared itself, probably coincidence, but I never changed anything in settings and it cleared. Now I can't send from MacPro. I can send via webmail for aol so not the end of the world but it's a nuisance and I prefer my Mac mail. Anyone else experiencing this? I at first attributed these problems to pandemic going on and everyone working from home and high demand on internet, but not sure!

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

I seem to recall a recent Discussion regarding a similar problem with AOL mail. It may be a temporary anomaly.


Sometimes, the easiest way to fix it might be to delete the account from System Preferences > Internet Accounts. Then, add it again using that same Preference pane. Those instructions are provided in Set up Mail with email accounts - Apple Support.


If the email messages are stored locally on your Mac, ensure you have a reliable backup prior to making any changes to its file system.
