IMAP "Cannot verify server identity" error on iPhone

Previously seen that Someone had found a solution to this and I’ve tried to follow the steps.

however when I go into settings the thread said click accounts and passwords? I’m presuming that means mail as I don’t have anything that says account and passwords on settings?

then next to click on the account and go to advanced settings. When I click the email account and go to advanced settings the only options I get are regarding delayed/archived messages, auto sign emails ect not the option to change incoming mail server. Someone can you please help me fix this?

Troubleshooting iPhone eMails:


A. Go here: If you can’t Send eMail on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


B. Add the eMail Account Back.

See if it all syncs when you add the eMail Account back. If it is on a Mail server the it should pop up. It may take some time, if you have thousands to download.


C. Use a New App Password:

Do you use an App Password? If so, try a new App Password. Sometimes, changes (i.e. updates) are made to the device, and then mail server syncing becomes an issue (which is what a new App Password it intended to fix). For example, you'd go here for gmailSign in with App Passwords - Google Account Help - Google
