Emails and text not sending

[kann50]

I have an SGalaxy 9+.  For about a month or so, I have not been able to send texts (MMS with photos) on Textra.  At the same time, about 60% of my emails go to a new place called OUTBOX and I can't send them from there most of the time.  So they just die in Outbox. I am using Samsung Mail with 2 gmail accounts and 2 mail.com.  My phone has been set up like this for 2 years (early adopter) now and it just started happening.

I have just spent too much time with Verizon's digital assistant running through their steps.  Found out a lot about my 9+ but didn't solve the issue.

Anyone having same/similar issues?  Resolutions? Thank you!
