Yahoo mail outbox

I have no emails in my outbox but there is a red circle with an exclamation mark against it when I look at all the mailboxes. When I open outbox it is empty except for the little circle indicating it’s trying to update but it keeps going round and round. Can you help pl?

Incoming and outgoing servers are separate from each other. You need to sign in to both, separately. The easiest solution, if you don’t want to go into Settings/Passwords & Accounts and edit the SMTP (outgoing) server for the Yahoo account, is to delete the account, restart your phone, and add the account back.
