You need to provide some details.

What email app, what is your smtp settings, are they the same for the phone and Mac. Did you verify that they're the same.

Did you try to send yourself an email from your mac? Can your mac access the internet - maybe its a network issue.

Do you see any connection errors/issues with your email app when starting it up

Mac 5.1
smtp settings are the same as they were before my last email was received and yes same as phone.
I did send myself an email and got it on phone, I'm on the internet there is no network problem.
No error messages
Will send but no emails received

Your iPhone might be deleting the emails from the server when it reads them. Then when you fire up the Mac, it can't see them anymore.

Did you enable the firewall recently and have blocked the incoming port???

Did you try deleting the account and recreating on the Mac?

Have you tried taking the account offline in the Mail app and then taking it back online. That will reinitialize the account and sometimes fixes connectivity problems.

I've seen that happen with MS Outlook. What program were you using for your email?

Glad it worked out for you. Sometimes they will go offline if connectivity is lost and not reconnect (they usually reconnect on their own, but sometimes need a little help). I find it weird that it gave no notification of it being offline. Usually they show a gray filled circle with a tilde in it, and this means the account is offline>
