New iphone 5s but I cannot write new emails

Hi
I can receive emails on my hotmail account and on my work account but I cannot reply or forward any of them nor can I write a new email
Any ideas?
Thanks

You seem to have more than one thing going on as far as mail is concerned. As far as work mail not sending, you are correct in saying that it has something to do with the SMTP server, which is the part that sends mail. Depending on what kind of error message you see when you attempt to send will determine what kind of troubleshooting needs to be done. As far as the other, I suggest that you first force closed the mail app. See this iOS: Force an app to close
As far as after that, go ahead and do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
After that, try opening the Mail app again and see if you can create a mail message. If not, then the next step is to restore from backup. Follow whatever instructions are appropriate. iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If the Restore from backup does not work, then you will need to restore the device as new. See this. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
