Just in case, there are alternative e-mail clients. Leaving aside command-line ones, there are at least these:
ports.macports.org
ports.macports.org
(I am also trying to get Trojita into Macports, but not sure at the moment its Qt4-based version is usable.)
P. S. If anyone knows Qt4-based e-mail clients which work, ping me, we can trying those.
Install claws-mail on macOS with MacPorts
Install sylpheed on macOS with MacPorts

Resurrecting this post in 2025! I am using the Apple Mail app on my PowerBook G4 running Leopard. A few years ago I ran it though Leopard Webkit to update the certificates etc and it works fine on Gmail if I use an app password. Recently, I tried to add my Hotmail back on and I can't get it to work at all, even with app passwords. I use this Hotmail address with Thunderbird etc without problems. Has anyone managed to get Outlook emails to work with this recently and if so, what settings did you use?
iCloud email works with an app specific password. I don't know of any others that work.
