hi,
It appears since the latest update any email I send goes to my outbox instead of being sent. I have checked all my settings and nothing has changed.
Is this a common problem or just me?.........
Hello - just a few questions to start: 1) Assume you updated to iOS v.12.1.4; and 2) Are you using the native iOS Mail app? And some further information might help: 1) What mail host are you using, e.g. Yahoo, Gmail, and/or others; 2) Who is you ISP and how do you get the internet, i.e. cable, DSL, satellite, or dialup?
My first suspicion is that your mail host may have been down - happened to me after a macOS update - my Mac Mail went Offline for about 6 hours; however, so did my other computers not updated and also my iPad - I use Yahoo as my mail host and could get onto their web-based service, so suspected their servers were down for a bit - could that be the explanation for you? If so, your mail should be back - let us know.
In the meantime, are you having issues w/ other devices using the same email service? Have you tried you iPad elsewhere, e.g. at a Starbucks? If still a problem, then 'power recycle' your modem and router (may be in one unit) which often solves these issues. Good luck. Dave
