Cannot send mail

” The connection to the outgoing server ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured for mail accounts in Settings>Accounts .”

I'm completely lost. This just happened out of the blue and I do not know how to fix it. I try and follow the prompts, but everything looks normal to me. What do I need to do? Thank you in advance.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
