Can't delete SMTP server

11 years(!!!!!!) after the original thread on this community, attempting to delete obsolete SMTP servers, across several different devices, is still bloody impossible. Apple seriously – WTF. It surely can't be that difficult? Did Steve Jobs take the "secret" with him? I've even got one device telling me its having trouble using the settings that i've already deleted................ no ****. WHY CAN'T YOU FIX IT? I'll gladly wait a bit longer for iOS 13.0.1.2.3.4.5.6.7 if you can just fix this, or even just read the post.

How to change / delete obsolete SMTP server for mail account on iPad Pro 2020 Thanks to iCloud I was able to migrate most of my configuration from my old iPad to my new iPad Pro. Even the e-mail accounts were partially migrated, but without the authentication data (passwords). However, one of my mail accounts shows an obsolete SMTP server as primary server. I cannot delete it, presumably because it is still flagged as primary, but I don‘t find any way to replace it as primary with the current SMTP server (which is also already in my configuration). How can I replace (and delete) the obsolete SMTP server?

Mail Connection Doctor List is wrong When I toggle Connection Doctor, I see more than a few mail servers that I once used still in the list. It runs the diagnostic script and always comes up, I suppose as it should, with no connection. Related, I think, is a SMTP server list, which, when I click to edit, again, shows some servers I no longer make use of, and thought I'd deleted How can I clean up those server lists?
