The problem is (usually) that Mail.app’s new ability to connect through a SOCKS proxy had been turned on during the update.

The fix is simple.

Open up your the Network pane of your System Preferences. Choose your current method of connecting to the Internet (Built-in Ethernet, Airport, etc) and select the Proxies tab on the configuration dialog.

Make sure that the SOCKS proxy box is unchecked:

SOCKS-proxy
