Q: Changing password in SMTP

I recently changed my password on my email account & am trying to update the password on my Iphone 5. I am able to receive messages but cannot send them. I am on IOS 8.3. I have tried to update the password on the outgoing mail server but the area is grayed out & will not allow me to do so. Any suggestions?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

Hello brgironda,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

After changing the password for your email account, I suggest you remove the account from your iPhone, and then add it back with your new password.

Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.

Take care,
Alex H.
