Q: After changing my AOL password on my iPhone, I can receive email but can't send emails.  In settings, my iPhone won't let me change the Outgoing Mail Server password to match the incoming mail password.    Why?  Or How?

After changing my AOL password on my iPhone, I can receive emails but can't send emails.   In my iPhone Settings, the Outgoing Mail Server (where smtp.aol.com is listed as the Primary Server), won't let me change the password there to match the password I set up under Account Information.  Why?  My iPhone will not let me access the Password area when I try to select it?   How can I change the Outgoing Mail Server password to match the Account Information Password?

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.1

    I found a very simple fix posted by someone else.  It worked great.  Go to your AOL mail settings - got to OUTGOING MAIL SERVER SMTP SETTINGS TURN OFF THE AOL SMTP server and choose another one you use for any other email account.  WORKS GREAT!
