Hi Can anyone help. My emails aren't being sent they're going into outbox with a red exclamation mark & the following message: A copy has been placed in your outbox.The connection to the outgoing server "Apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed.Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings >mail,contacts,calendars. How can I sort this being thick as I am,don't want to do anything that Is going to cause a further problem

That outgoing server name is very wrong.

Who is your email provider?

If its Yahoo:

Hi ,Had to wait for Son to visit & he's sorted it now.Thanks so much

You like me Lincle, I have an iPad and use it pretty basically I think and find it great while everything's going allright but when things go wrong haven't got a clue. Son to the rescue for me too, haha. Surprising how much you miss it when it's down.
