CANNOT SEND EMAIL

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 & Payments.”

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 fine. What do I need to do?

Thank you

If you continue to have issues after completing the steps in that article, the last step is removing and setting up the email account again. For reference those steps are listed below and outlined in the linked article.


  1. "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.
  2. On your device, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
  3. Tap the email account that you want to remove.
  4. Tap Delete Account.
  5. Add your account again."


Take care!
