Cannot send mail after iOS 17.1.1 update

I updated my iPhone 11 to iOS 17.1.1 a couple days ago. Today was the first time I tried to send emails since the update, and they’re not going through. They stay in the Outbox, and I’ll eventually get a message that the connection to the outgoing server failed. I thought it was an issue with AOL, but I just tried sending a test email from my iCloud account, and the same thing is happening. Once or twice the error message will also state “No space left on device” - when that happens, the email not only doesn’t go through, but it also disappears from the Outbox.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

I had already visited that article before posting here, but thanks. The weird thing is that the problem occurred not just with my AOL email accounts, but my iCloud email as well - that was one of the emails that completely disappeared from the Outbox after the error message, and it’s not showing under the Sent emails for that account. Whatever the case, the issue seems to have resolved itself a few hours later. The “disappearing” messages never showed up anywhere (Sent or otherwise), but the 2 that remained in the Outbox went through OK. I just tested all my accounts again (sending from one account to another), and it’s working. Very strange.
