iPad sent email gets stuck in Drafts folder

Using an iPad running iOS 16.6. I compose an email, hit the send button only to find it later in the Drafts folder, having never been delivered. I get no error messages. It does not happen with every message or to specific addresses, I find no commonality to it. Every time I send a message now, I have to wait a few minutes and check for it in my Sent folder, often it’s not there but stuck in Drafts. A few times I had to open the draft, resend and find *that* doesn’t get delivered, I have to send a third time. I’ve talked with my ISP, they’ve had no system issues, have had no other complaints about this and could only recommend I restart the iPad, which I did but it didn’t change the issue. Any ideas?

Delete and reinstall the mail account.

Reach out to your email provider support or look at their help page, if they have a forum post a question in there.
