How do I fix this extremely annoying error message? Sending and receiving mail does not seem to be affected, but starting yesterday for no reason this message keepspopping up. I’ve rebooted to no avail.

I found a simple fix for this issue on my phone. If you have the same settings as I do, it might work for you, too.
Settings—->Passwords & Accounts
—->Choose the offending (Hotmail/Outlook/Live, etc) account
—>Account (email address)—>under Outgoing Mail Server, click on SMTP. If your settings look like mine below, I clicked ‘OFF’ the Primary Server smtp-mail.outlook.com....leaving smtp.live.com ‘ON’.
I don’t know why this worked, as I didn’t change the actual offending Incoming Mail Server, but my phone fetched my mail just fine after I did this. Maybe it’s because the Incoming and Outgoing server names no longer match?
I hope this helps someone else. I really didn’t want to go through the whole ‘delete account’ process!
It’s happening with Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, Register.com - this is clearly an Apple issue!
they need to deal with this and stop wasting huge chunks of our time!
I am having this issue with all of my Google products - mail, calendar, and contacts. NOT a Microsoft problem!
Not helpful but thanks. Fundamental iOS/Mac OS issue. Should be a priority for Apple.
I have three Microsoft, two Gmail and one iCloud email account on my iphone, I only get the popup on my Microsoft accounts.
How to turn off annoying notifications about server identity.
iPad or iPhone
Settings, Notifications, Mail, MS Exchange Outlook Email, turn off.
Not sure if you heard, but this isn't only happening with Microsoft products.
How do I get rid of ""Cannot Verify Server Identity. The Identy of "apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com" cannot be verified" popup?
Brilliant!! I did that! Thank you!
This same error pops up, with “hotmail” being the offender, on my devices.
Thanks! That was the easiest thing that worked for me!
You need to use Other as account settings not Outlook.com and follow instructions to setup your account. After that you can delete your troublesome account
Don’t and have never used Outlook on any devices so really don’t understand your comment
Hey! I’m having the same exact issue that you had, how were you able to fix yours?
Were you able to fix it? I deleted my account and added it back twice and I keep getting the pop up message.
Go to settings, mail, accounts and delete any e mail accounts.
switch off and restart to clear the memory and re I still them
