I updated my iphone 12 promax to the 17.4.1 too, but our (both my husband and my) phones will not send email out after the updates. I use Hughesnet through the email app. Never had a problem until we updated our phones.
I checked with Hughesnet and my settings are correct.
I have deleted and reinstalled our email on our phones. No reason this should be happening on their end.
Anyone else have this problem? Solution?

Do you use VPN? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN.
Otherwise, go to Settings/Mail/Accounts and tap on the account. Then tap on Outgoing (SMTP) settings and make sure you have a valid username and password entered. Settings for incoming and outgoing email are independent of each other, and both must be set up, even if the Outgoing says “optional” - it isn’t optional if you want outgoing to work.

Dear Lawrence,
Thank you so much. Yes, it was the VPN, I have spent hours on this with just my attempts and internet plus on the phone with Hughesnet. Thank you. What a simple fix. I upvoted your reply. Thank you again. Have a good evening.
That didn't work for me. I can't send emails from Gmail, Outlook and Aol but has deleted my saved emails and only shows emails from 2021 & 2022. Any ideas?
Thank you!! That worked!!
Updated Iphone to 17.4.1 emails won't send
