iPhone X unable to connect to Exchange mail on iOS 11.1 - iPhone 7 Plus OK

I just got my iPhone X and set it all up with iCloud backup settings from my iPhone 7 Plus.

Both devices are running iOS 11.1 with the same Exchange settings for my work email.


iPhone X can't seem to retrieve mail, calendar or contacts via Exchange with an error of "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed" even though iPhone 7 Plus can with the same exact settings. Both are running iOS 11.1.


Any ideas on how to resolve this? I've already tried deleting the Exchange account multiple times, but am getting the same error.

iPhone X, iOS 11.1

I've not experienced any issues with my Exchange account on my iPhone X. I'm using iOS 11.2.5, and have updated through all of the iOS 11 series. I suggest you contact your Exchange Administrator. They can back trace your connection and ensure that your device is connecting to the server and if there is an issue with the connections. They are the ones that control connections.
