Q: Cannot send email from IPHONE
I have always been able to send mail from my Apple account on my Iphone until today when it has stopped without me knowingly changing anything.
I have tried turning the Wifi off in case our network guy had been playing with something and a test email I sent a few moments ago has now gone it took ages. Emails sent with Wifi turned on just don't go. I will try this when connected to another wifi network but it's not looking good.
I don't want to reset the phone to factory defaults. I've tried removing the Icloud account - made no difference. Emails sent on the device from other email accounts send without a problem whether connected to wifi or via phone data.
Please note this is on an IPHONE 6 not a MAC.
An error message will popup after a very long time 15 minutes or so, saying "Connection to the outgoing server "p23-smtp.mail.me.com" failed. Additional Outgoing mail servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
Any help will be gratefully received.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

It's always possible. There are hundreds of me.com servers, and you can be unlucky and connect with one that is having problems. Here's a useful link to check: http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
