Mail Issue after Software update 26.2

Updated to 26.2 software, now cannot access inbox in mail, incoming spam folder mail works just fine from same server. Deleted app and reset, works fine briefly and has the same issue. Error message states "Cannot get Mail. The mail server imap.earthlink.net is not responding". The account info is correct in mail settings. This started only after the software update last week. Any thoughts?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

You'll need to reach out to earthlink support or look at their help site/forum since their server is not responding, this has nothing do with ios 26.2.
