Can't send email from my iphone 13 mini

I can receive emails from my iphone 13 mini and have been able to send AND receive until today. Suddenly I can't send emails from this phone. I get a message that says "Cannnot 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.Mail.Accounts."


I've tried several things, but they have all been wrong. Can someone please tell me what's going on and how to fix it. Thanks!


iPhone 13 mini, iOS 15

Thanks for trying, but I tried that before, but now I have tried it again. It’s still a “no go.” Any other suggestions?

Most users are better off not using VPN. Something to think about→Don't use VPN - GITHUB


There are two legitimate purposes for using VPN:


  • To allow access to a private network such as a school or business when you are not on site. 
  • To allow access outside of a country with a repressive government that has restricted Internet access. (This has suddenly become more important)


Any other use is risky, and can lead to problems like the one discussed in this thread. VPN disguises your location by making you appear to be somewhere else in the world. But you usually can’t control that “somewhere else”, and if it is in a location that an app isn’t approved for the app won’t work. Plus the fact that the provider of the VPN knows everything about you and your location, as well as what sites you access through the VPN. So you are totally dependent on the VPN provider’s honesty. As a start, if the VPN is free, DON’T USE IT. The provider has to make money somehow, and if you aren’t paying them then they are selling your private data to make money. But even those that charge can’t necessarily be trusted. For example, a few years ago Avast was caught selling user browsing data. They claim they have stopped doing so. 


You don’t really need VPN when using public Wi-Fi, because all communications between your device and the servers it accesses are end-to-end encrypted.


If you want VPN for privacy about the sites you visit, that’s not a good choice as discussed; instead you should download and use the TOR browser.


With iOS 15.2 for iOS/iPadOS and MacOS Monterey 12.2 and later Apple now has iCloud+ Private Relay, which is like a super VPN, except that it doesn't spy on you→About iCloud Private Relay - Apple Support
