I've been having Mail problems for over two weeks now. Still looking for help ... The symptom is that I cannot send emails (I receive emails OK). There seems to be a mistmatch between Mail and Gail (my email server). I click the Send icon, it greys out, and hangs there doing nothing. I'm using it on a 2019 iMac, under Sequoia 15.5. Fortunately for me, my old iMac (Mojave) _does_run Mail (same ID and Gmail), so I can use Mail properly on that. I have danced around all the suggested solutions suggested here (thanks you!), not to mention the dozens of solutions to similar (but never exactly the same) problems on the Web. Nothing seems to work. The one thing I haven't yet tried is to Delete the account from my Internett Accounts and then to Recreate it, which allegedly will re-set the account. FIVE MINUTES AGO I bit the bullet and fired up Mail again in order to Delete the account (I am told that this will direct me to Systems Settings to do it there -- I wanted to do it properly). On firing up, Mail froze! THEN I noticed that the Activity window is saying "Downloading 1,215 messages" - so it's not frozen, it's furiously downloading I know not what. 1,215 messages from where?!?!? Where do I go next - any more suggestions (apart from Delete/Recreate, which I _will _ try) when I've found out what the blazes Mail is up to now! "Cheers" John
