Cannot send email using p71-smtp.mail.me.com in iOS 15.6 Two days after upgrading to iOS 15.6, on my iPhone 12 Mini, I am unable to send mail. I use iCloud (mail.me.com) and the native Mail app. I may receive mail with no problem. I went to settings as the error directs but and tried to add another email server but was not successful. I have restarted the iPhone, but have not "reset" it. I thought perhaps to delete the iCloud account and then rebuild it but am not sure exactly how to do this. I do not recall any warning signs/errors prior to this. It just start spontaneously. The 15.6 update took place with no errors either during the update or immediately after. I have searched Discussions and found a few similar questions and tried the solutions offered with no luck. Most of them are a few years old and on much earlier s/w levels. I have attached a screen shot of the error. Thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to offer. Camionneur

Hey Timmieztoyz,

For this issue we'll want to refresh the iCloud email server settings. To do that, you'll turn off the iCloud Mail settings, restart your iPhone, then turn the settings back on. The exact steps can be found under section "If you need help sending or receiving mail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch" Step 6, here: If iCloud Mail isn't working - Apple Support

Let us know how it goes.

Take care!
