After changing the password to your email account, your iPhone won't be able to sync new messages or send outgoing messages until you update the password on your phone. If you use iCloud for your email, you have the option of picking a new password directly on the phone itself, but for other email providers, change your password on a computer and enter the new password on your iPhone when it automatically prompts you.
