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.
I Just downloaded the update - 18.1.1 - and it’s still the same - not fixed! Extremely annoying, since my iPad is my main email etc when I’m not at work. I can at least access them on my android phone but that is not workable long term! I’m on Yahoo mail, which is what a lot of people used on another site chat stream - from September! Ridiculous it’s taking them this long!

Error in downloading mail on IMAP after i… - Apple Community
for your information. I had the same issue what is discussed here in my old dovcot setup while i was moving to iOS18, and i got its fixed by solving the issues in my dovecot settings.
I think the issue with iCloud mail can be sorted out by one of the below;
Try deleting the mail app only if recreating the mail account does not work.
Same Problem for me - Support said the problem is known and seems to occur if you use your own domains
I'm getting the message Network error POSIX 60 when trying to get my icloud mail. My phone also does not work on the wifi since the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
same problem with e-mail after installing IOS18.
Same here!
I Updated yesterday to iOS 18.1 and now I get the account failure (POSIX 54 network failure) when checking on new mail in my iCloud Mailaccount
My guess is Apple is investigating each case individually before they declare it as a bug. It would help if more people raise cases with Apple support. Frustrating, but then it is what it is.
Based on today’s conversation with Apple support, should get a feedback from the engineering group sometime on Monday India time.
18.1 update resolved my issue
Hey, glad you solved it for yourself, would you like to tell us how you managed to fix this? The steps you took will be quite helpful to know. Thanks.
Same issue here : iPad 18.1 with only my iCloud account set up in Apple Mail app !
Message : Network error (POSIX 50).
Works well with my iPhone and Mac Apple Mail app
Hi, i see a similar problem, and solved changing the login greeting of the imap server to not contain non-ascii characters (in my case Dovecot server).
I don’t know why and after more than one month with problems, my email app now is working correctly.
