Outgoing email not working
Periodically (every couple days) my outgoing emails stop working on my iPhone or iPad...then self correct sometimes after a few hours, sometimes after a few days. The error message says the password is incorrect yet it when I reenter the password, it does not fix the problem....and it eventually self corrects. When I change the “from” email account from my Telus account to a gmail account, it sends no problem. Very frustrating. Anyone have any suggestions for a permanent fix?

Usually it is as simple as setting up a gmail account, then selecting your gmail SMTP server as the outgoing choice in your mail application.
Try Settings, Passwords and Accounts, Telus, Account, SMTP server, and choose from the list presented.

I typically have all my personal non-gmail outgoing email sending through my Gmail account. It still shows up as my personal email but I just use Google's SMTP server to send it.
