Ipad will not connect to my mail server.
I have just got an Ipad and tried to set up my mail server.
I have a server that has SMTP on port 25 and IMAP configured on the default port 143, nothing special.
In addition, I have port 144 for secure IMAP and 26 for secure SMTP. SSL is a self signed certificate for a custom root that is installed in all devices that allow it.
I use SSL exclusively here and every laptop, desktop and other device works fine with it.
I first tried to set the Ipad up with this, but when it did not work, I deleted the account and tried the non secure standard 25/143.
The failure message - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server "name" failed." happens straight after entering the mail application.
After many failures, I decided to see what happens if I skip the error and try yo create a new message. When sending I got a message saying "Invalid security certificate" - "Cancel / Continue", or similar - I can't remember off by heart, I did continue and it successfully connected to my secure SMTP server, and I have not got that error since.
I turned on logging on my mail server and found whenever I attempted to retrieve emails, the following message happens:
TCPConnection - SSL handshake with client failed. Error code: 2, Message: End of file,
I get this when trying both SSL on and off.
I tested it on an Ipod touch that was here and it works fine on both Imap Secure and standard.
Does anyone have any ideas?
