If you can't send mail from the Mail app on your Mac
Use these steps if your message can't be delivered, you're attaching a large file, or the recipient didn't get your message.
If you receive an alert when you send a message from your @icloud.com email address using Mail on your Mac
“This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
Open Mail and choose Mail > Preferences.
Click the Accounts tab.
Select your iCloud email account.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud email account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu. If you choose Edit SMTP Server List, you won't see your iCloud SMTP server as an option.
