can't send emails after update to iOS8

Hi there,

I have been using 3 email accounts on my iphone5 , 2 of them were Google accounts and one of them was small free email ( centrum.cz)


last weekend I decided to update to iOS8 from iOS7, and suddenly I can't send emails anymore.

the issue is only with SENDING emails, I can download new ones, delete them and all that, I only can't send new ones out


I was messing whole they with the usual recommended steps, such as

- delete account and enter new one,

- try to do the 2 pass verification password from google,

- enter account manually (not through the google options )

- reset all network settings

- restarted phone


nothing worked


one thing that surprised me though , I installed the gmail app, and there it all works flawlessly , so I think it must be something with phone settings,

I wasn't able to figure out if there is a way to see what smtp settings are there in gmail app and compare them to iOS ones


it's really frustrating though


as much as I'm glad to have a work around, I don't consider using different application being a solution

iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3
