Cannot update my incoming mail server on iphone

I have an iPhone SE running the most recent software. My email provider sent a notification about new security and I need to update my incoming host name and outgoing mail server. I successfully changed my outgoing mail server but the Incoming Mail Server fields are not editable except for the password field. I have tried tapping "Advanced" but the Incoming Settings fields are also grayed out (disabled) except for the server port which doesn't need changing. I can't even figure out how to remove the account and start over.

iPhone SE (2nd generation)

Delete and re-add the mail account, if you still have issue reach out to your mail provider or look at their help site.
