I posted this earlier with the link but Apple removed it.

You have this post and another, almost identical one posted two minutes earlier.

So I did the upgrade late last week. Just happened to notice today that my recent sent emails aren’t showing up. Then I saw that all of the emails are marked as being sent from a person on my blocked list. The blocked list on my iPad shows that it’s my own email that is blocked! But I don’t see a way to change that on the iPad. However, if I go to the Gmail App….and go the blocked people….there aren’t any blocked people and the sent mail does not show the sent mails as blocked. I have no idea what to do about this.

I'm having issues too but it's the family location sharing that does not work, just a spinning wheel. ALSO the phone icon does not appear in my settings anymore so I can turn off Blocking unknown callers

what a nighmare. My chat ended in advisor saying uninstall and reinstall email accounts. I said others on community had done that and it didn't work. She said different people have different problems.

How many of us having this issue are using oauth 2.0 token for authentication? My wife’s email on her iPhone is still working and her account is using imap and a password. She has no issues.

goto mail/accounts/account settings/advanced/incoming settings

This began with the iOS 18 Update.

After upgrade to iOS 18, all seven (7) of my IMAP accounts stopped receiving/sending messages.

The error on all accounts is:

"Cannot get Mail" The mail server xxxx is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings"

"Unable to create a secure connection to the server ("bad certificate format" -9,808).

This was on a 2020 iPhone SE. I have tried all suggestions, restarts, " adding slashes /" deleting/reinstalling.

I have spoken to my ISP, where I host my own domain and they clearly expressed they were aware of the issues and that it was an "APPLE Problem".

18.1.1 has not corrected anything and all IMAP accounts are not functional.

I have attempted wiping and installing on a different iPhone (iPhone 12 mini running 18.1.1) and EXACTLY the same problem.

The last email I was able to receive using Apple Mail on an iPhone was in September?

I installed the GMAIL APP, added standard settings exactly as they are in Apple Mail and all emails appear on GMAIL App.

I am struggling to believe that Apple has not acknowledged this issue or allowed it to go on this long?

It's obviously a bigger issue.

The silence is deafening...

After updating iOS to 18.1.1, the mail app is not working. It is totally malfunction and can’t receive nor send email. Start the mail app, it just pops up a white screen. I have tried to offload the app and reinstall it. It’s the same. When I hard reset the phone, it can pop up the mail account list but freezes. How do I fix it?

I tried setting up email using POP and it worked. My isp is advising me that I should use IMAP!! So I guess 18.1.1 screwed up IMAP

It certainly didn't for most people. IMAP is the dominant protocol these days. If using it had been broken by iOS 18.x, it would be very big news. Without a lot more information, I don't know why you were having issues but it seems unlikely that is the reason.

Same issue with my i-phone 15 and 18.1.1 update - This worked for me:

If you're using Apple Mail app on your unidentified iPhone model, I suggest that you try

this work around: go to Settings>Mail>Account and delete your Yahoo account, then read the deleted mail account to your email accounts.

I have 2 email accounts using IMAP, one using gmail and one using Yahoo (both of which are IMAP under the covers), and two using Microsoft Exchange.

All of them worked seamlessly after updating to 18.1 and 18.1.1.

Hello Apple, are you listening? iOS 18 update has caused both us to be unable to receive INBOUND email on our Internet service provider email account. We receive message “Unable to Connect to Server, check to see your settings are correct”. Yes, my settings are correct as verified with internet provider. Was on the phone an hour with Apple support, she tried everything she knew of, nothing worked. My internet email provider says that it is the Apple 18 update that caused the problem and Apple has to make a patch! I We sincerely hope you’re working on a patch. Thank you.

Do you not realize that you’re On a thread that is full of people whose email no longer works because of the iOS 18? I am not on a VPN, my inbound and outbound both have Authentication as MD5 Challenge.

I get notifications of significant issues, and I haven’t seen this listed. I hope the next version solves your problems, but if not there is still troubleshooting to be done. The only reported email issue that I saw was that MS Exchange didn’t always sync correctly, but that was reported by less than 10 users.

Suddenly my email will not display all emails in a chain and consolidates them which is totaly unacceptable. I have gone into Outlook settings and there is no option to adjust the conversation view. It's as if it was removed and my mind was made for me, permanently. It's one thing to have settings messed with on an update, it's quite another to just not have settings to adjust and be forced to accept it how it is. iOS 18.1.1 does not have a kind relationship with Outlook mail.
