Can’t send outgoing mail on iPhone

I am suddenly unable to send outgoing mail on my iPhone with message “cannot connect to the outgoing mail server” and “the connection to the outgoing server ‘stmp.comcast.net’ failed.” I have checked all settings, re-entered them, toggled on/off WiFi, and removed and reentered the Xfinity mail account on the phone. Outgoing mail works on iPad with same WiFi and also works with laptop outlook program.

Thank you for reaching a new post. I understand you are having some trouble with outgoing mail on your iPhone. I see it works fine on your iPad and also via Outlook. However, it seems the trouble is mainly on your iPhone. If you visit our direct site on your phone, https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/, are you able to send emails with no issues? 

Regarding your mobile Wi-Fi, can you tell me about the issues or any errors you get when trying to connect?

Katiesprint, any recent updates completed on your phone since the email issues started? If Outlook and Apple Mail are fine on other devices, this may be device-specific. Have you followed up with Apple support to have this double-checked?

No and no

the error messages are all about the comcast server

It takes a very long time to verify the account when I delete and add it back
