How to Delete Defunct Outgoing Mail Servers on iPhone12?

My email account has not changed but my ISP has changed the outgoing mail server a few times. As a result, I have 4 or 5 defunct outgoing mail servers listed in Mail area of Settings.


I'd like to get rid of the servers that no longer exist. At present, it seems I can only switch them to "OFF" position.


Again, I don't want to delete the email account ... just the old server information.


Thanks!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

I understand the issue you are having. On the iPhone, there does not appear to be a way to delete a SMTP server with the only option being able to turn it off. The Mac does allow deleting a SMTP server, but there is not UI on the iPhone to do that. Obviously deleting the account and adding it again would work, but I realize that is not the best option. I suggest sending feedback to Apple:

To improve understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a screenshot. Visual representations carry greater impact than written descriptions.


Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.
