Cannot verify server

What does this mean to receive a message stating (CANNOT VERIFY SERVER IDENTITY, The identity of “imap.Gmail.com” cannot be verified) and how can I correct it?

Hello Flyclark,


It sounds like you are getting an error when attempting to access your gmail account. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.


First, let's restart your device. Even though this is a simple step it may help: Restart your iPhone


If you are still seeing this alert, let's reset your network settings. This article should help: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network


The steps are specifically under the section "Still can’t connect?" Keep in mind this also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.


If the issue persists can you provide a few more details? What is your exact iOS version? Do you currently use a VPN? Do you experience this on multiple networks? Also, do you experience the on any other email accounts?


Cheers!
