Mail Drop

Recently, Mail Drop doesn't work. I got an message "Cannot 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> Accounts & Passwords." Any problems with Apple's server? Is any one experienced the same issue? Thanks a lot!

Mail on Mac and iPhone: all my outgoing servers stopped working Something very weird happened: all my outgoing servers stopped working in Mail for Mac and iPhone, for all my email addresses (some are Gmail, some are external provider with own hosting). I've tried disconnecting and deleting the addresses and setting up everything again, but the problem remains. Yet all parameters are correctly inputted. When I check my connection doctor, it confirms Mail can't connect to any of the SMTP. Anyone else running into these issues? Any idea what else I can look at?

Have you tried again recently? I saw a similar post to yours yesterday and today they reported it working.
