Cannot send emails using optusnet email

Cannot send out emails using optusnet email but can receive the emails.

Using iPhone XR with iOS 12.3.1

The error message is Connection to the server failed.

Can send and receive emails on the optusnet webmail.

Added the email as POP.

Did the email settings for optusnet already changed?

iPhone XR

Cannot send email (receives just fine) with iPhone SE IOS 12.2 I use Apple iCloud mail and it works fine on my Mac Mini. My iPhone receives mail to all accounts just fine (I have several email addresses under my main iCloud mail account). But when I try to send email, it says there is a problem with the outgoing server. The dialog box that pops up says I can configure the server in Settings> Accounts and Passwords, but I don't see any way to check the outgoing server settings there. Also, my previous iPhone (a 5c running IOS 11) worked just fine with sending and receiving emails. I just recently switched to the iPhone SE and have had trouble ever since.

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!

You would have to find that out from optusnet. A connection error to the server generally indicates a problem with the password or other information for the SMTP server.
