sender email address was not valid

I have this problem. Apple have had the problem for at least 10 years! I have an iPad proc, a 2020 MacBook Pro and an iPhone XR. I can receive from the iPad and the MacBook but cannot send from them. However I can both receive and send from my iPhone. I have deleted accounts and re-added them and all the boxes are ticked. Whats going on Apple?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Unable to send email from any apple device All our devices are now having issues with different email addresses where it is telling us the password hasn't been entered. Or can not send emails because the sender address is incorrect. We have updated all devices, deleted and reinstalled all affected accounts but are still having issues. Can anyone help?

Email problem following update to 16.6 After updating both my iPhone and iPad to os 16.6, I can no longer send email using the Mail app, from my primary email account (with my ISP). I keep getting a message that the sender's address is invalid. I can still receive email from that account -- and send email using the devices that haven't been updated yet. I have to think that something in the update is causing this issue. I went to my ISP's website, got the latest email setup settings, which appear to be the same as I have. I'm not going to update the other devices until this issue is resolved. Is anyone else having this issue with the new update?
