Apple Mail, the email application included with macOS, has some confusing account setup screens. What is happening? Provided that you’re correctly connected to.
So, why sometimes your mail client is not sending emails? Maybe it keeps on receiving them, but the outgoing emails are not sent at all. Issues concerning email sending are unfortunately pretty common, either in the daily communications or when it comes to newsletters and bulk messages. They’re also usually quite expensive, but if you are sending those thousands of emails daily or weekly these services are well worth the cost. If you’re going to be emailing thousands of people on a regular basis, you don’t want to use Mail to do this as you’ll most likely end up having your Mail account put on spam blacklists!

I’d be willing to bet that at least some of the emails aren’t typical plain text emails instead, they’re nicely formatted messages that look more like a web page than just a bunch of words.
