Couldn't connect to email server

I have Desktop Pro Plus 2024. Sending invoices was working fine, Out of nowhere the email says "couldn't connect to email server". I am using the web mail settings. Double checked everything, completely updated, I have tried all the suggested solutions. Spent 45 mins on the phone with customer support with no success. Any ideas?
