Everytime i try to e-mail an article to myself, or when i go on a site such as craigslist and try to answer an ad for a job i get "host-smtp not found" why is this?

Question

whenever i attempt to e-mail an article i found online, or when i go to a site such as craigslist and look for employment, whenever i attempt to answer any ad for employment i get a pop up window that states : "the host smtp could not be found. server name correctly. subject start up nation 10 step page- yahoo small business; account: imap, server : smtp , protocol ; smtp, port 25 , secure (ssl) no socket error: 11001, error number : 0x800ccc0d"
i have installed microsoft office, with outlook, a new safety registry mechanic, and i still get this block. i cannot look for a job, or answer any job ad.

Have you tried logging out of your account via Settings > Store and tapping on your account id on the right-hand side, and the logging back in to see if that makes any difference ?
You could also try a reset and see if you can then download them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third option is to download one of the updates to your computer's iTunes and connect your iPad to it and sync it across, and then see if you can download the other apps/updates directly on the iPad.
