Hey kez208,
We'd recommend reviewing the information in this artilce as it provides steps to take to help resolve issues with Mail on iPhone:
If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
"Contact your email provider or system administrator
- Contact your email provider or check their status webpage to see if there's a service outage.
- Ask your email provider or system administrator if you turned on any security features or restrictions, like two-step verification, for your email account. You might need a special password or might need to request authorization from your email provider to send and receive email on your device.
- Check your email account settings with your email provider or system administrator to make sure that they're correct.
Remove your email account and set it up again
- On your computer, sign in to your email provider’s website. Make sure that all of your email is there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than on your iOS or iPadOS device.
- On your device, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
- Tap the email account that you want to remove.
- Tap Delete Account.
- Add your account again."
If that doesn't help, you may want to provide some additional details about the issue.
What type of email account is this happening with? Is it an @iCloud.com account or another provider such as @gmail.com?
Do you have multiple accounts set up in the mail app? If so, does the issue affect all accounts or just one?
Thanks!
