I am unable to download my mail using the native mail app after upgrading to IOS 18. I am getting the following error; “Network Error (POSIX 96)”
The mail configuration is on imap with SSL.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
Hi All,
I'm experiencing the same problem. No personal IMAP or POP3 accounts work, even though the SSL and TLS certificates are fine.
This is a very big problem. If Apple doesn't fix it quickly, I might go back to iOS 17 or switch to another brand.
I believe that for Apple and its development team, it should be quite simple to fix an issue like this, and I find it very concerning that a solution hasn't been provided yet. After all, what complex code could be behind a function you've been implementing for over 10 years? I strongly urge you to resolve this quickly, or many of us will be forced to leave a platform that has so far been both reliable and secure.
Thank you.

May be i can help you to fix if you share the truncated logs while accessing Mail app to your server.
I saw nothing interesting in IMAP logs on dovecot server. I see the login with no error, and no errors following.
Not set to debug, but I think it will be less effort to wait until Apple fixes iOS mail.
Thanks for the offer of help.
I am unable to download my mail using the native mail app after upgrading to IOS 18. I am getting the following error; “Unable to create a secure connection to the server ("bad certificate format -9.808).”

Delete you present email account in Mail and reenter it.
It’s not an outlook account. Just a simple imap based account. I just used outlook as an alternate mail client.
I use the Outlook.com option on iOS Mail for Hotmail and Outlook emails. Others have switched to the Outlook app from the app store to get around the Mail snafu on both iOS and ipados.
I have experienced Hotmail asking me to relogin on my phone. Haven’t configured it on my iPad so can’t comment on that. Seemed like a periodic revalidation of login credentials to me.
Seems to be the closest to a solution apart from waiting for Apple to fix this. What changes did you make to fix this?
Exactly the same happens here!
