Cannot verify message keeps coming up

Hi SHaynes1974,

If you'd like to resolve the "cannot verify server identity" message, these steps might help. 

There are a few things to keep in mind and check:

- When you make an iOS or iPadOS backup in iCloud or iTunes, it backs up your mail settings, but not your email. If you delete or change your email account settings, previously downloaded email might be removed from your device.

- Make sure that your device is connected to the internet.

- Check with your email service provider to find out if there's a service outage.

- If you can't access your email, or you can't send and receive messages with your @icloud.com email address, learn what to do.

Check your email address and password

If Mail asks you to enter a password for your email account, make sure that your password is correct. To check your email address and password, sign in to your email provider's website.

If you still get a user name or password error, contact your email provider or system administrator.

The information above is from If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This resource helps guide you to resolve issues with your email. You should continue the steps in the link above if the issue continues. 

If the issue remains, let the community know what specifically what steps you tried from above and what happened when you contacted your email provider for more information.

We hope that helps with your question and take care!
