iPhone Mail App issue

Go to solution

Hi, I’m having problems with my email account on the iPhone Mail app. I have deleted the account, switched off my phone and then added the account again.

I am getting a message to say “the imap server doesn t support password authentication. Please check your account settings and try again”. I then input all the details manually and click next but getting a message saying “cannot connect using ssl”

Can anyone please help. I have set up my BT Mail app with the same settings and that is fine. I can also access my email on webmail so username and password are correct. I have been going round in circles all morning. I’m clearly doing something wrong but not sure what. I have two email accounts (one BT one Outlook) so want to use the iPhone mail app to have them both on the same one.

Many thanks

Are you a BT Broadband customer?

Just to check that you are using the correct settings are as per the following link and ensure you have not selected password authentication.

Thanks gg30340

I have been able to resolve the issue. I had a vpn switched on and that was causing the issue. I have switched it off and everything is working fine.

Thanks again
