- To access Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, tap “Settings.” Select the email account whose outgoing servers aren’t connecting by tapping the corresponding entry. Select “Delete Account” from the menu. Make sure the user has the right email address, username, password, and port number for the email account by getting in touch with the email provider. On the “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” page, for example, tap “Add Account.” From the Mail application, send an email to test the new settings.
- Open the Safari app on the iPhone. Tap a link in the iPhone’s bookmarks to access a website. In the “Settings” menu, select “Wi-Fi,” slide the switch to “Off,” and then select “On” to turn it back on. Join a different wireless network. If the website is now loading, the issue may have been with the previous Internet connection.
The user may try the above-provided steps if the connection to the outgoing server smtp.gmail.com failed.
