Email not sending on iPhone

Hi, I am having a very big problem with the mail app in iOS 16. I have two emails set up and when I reply to a email, it can’t send, it just goes straight to my outbox and a error message says server not found. I tried everything, I looked to see if my server for the emails is turned on and it is and I also re-added my two emails again and it still did not fix the problem. I did not change anything about my two emails since I had iOS 15. In iOS 15, did not have these problems but now I do. This is definitely a iOS 16 problem.

I’m having similar problem on both iPad and iPhone after updating to iOS 16. When I send an email reply, I hear the swoosh but the email never gets sent. It just disappears. Sometimes it shows in my sent inbox, but the original email I’m replying to doesn’t show the arrow on it indicating that I have replied to this email.

Shame on Apple. Sometimes I just want to put a hammer to my iPhone.

You are right. Very easy to miss "undo send" at bottom of inbox list. Must've touched by mistake. A big help. Thank you.

The problem with emails has been going on for months. Shame on Apple for not acknowledging it and more importantly fixing it.

Time for an android!

The problem has nothing to do with Apple, and there is nothing for Apple to fix. If mail does not work correctly it is ALWAYS because it was not set up correctly by the USER.

I disagree. I've been having the problem before the recent update, it's an Apple issue.

Does not work. These 1000$ toys are just not working properly and they are trying to make us believe we are the problem. Just fedup

The user is not causing the problem. The programmers are.

Shame on Apple. After every update to correct a problem there's another two or three created and it's never their fault. So sad, time for an android.

I'm having the same issue in iphone, but in PC, it is working fine.

May 30, 2023 10:47 PM in response to Lawrence Finch

That's not a solution. The app should close correctly. It is not my responsibility to "perform workarounds" due to holes in the code and the deteriorating quality of software developed by Apple.
