Cannot Send iCloud Email

When I try to send an email from my iCloud account, I get a message: “The connection to the outgoing server “p17-smtp.mail.me.com” failed.


I have not changed my settings, and it won’t allow me to fiddle with the outgoing server settings. How do I fix this?

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Hello jhurley4,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that there's an issue with the connection to the outgoing server with iCloud Mail. I'll do what I can to help.


Here are some suggestions that might work for you:

  • Try the steps from here: Get help using iCloud Mail
  • If possible, try using another Wi-Fi network or use cellular data to see if the same thing happens.


If there are still issues with sending mail, reach out to Apple Support directly: Contact Apple Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
