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!
See my post from minute ago
It’s NOT Hotmail or Outlook specific. It happens with Gmail and other accounts as well.
Hm, I had issue with Hotmail and this is how it worked for me. Please try you can’t lose anything
Go to settings, select mail, then select the account with the issue, then select the outgoing server, select primary server, now turn off SSL.
