I am unable to download my mail using the native mail app after upgrading to IOS 18. I am getting the following error; “Network Error (POSIX 96)”
The mail configuration is on imap with SSL.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
The case finally landed in Cupertino! We have a case no. and the developer are in the process of analyzing the problem and implementing a solution. It is a bug that will be fixed in one of the next releases. As soon as I have news I will post them...
I have the same problem with my email, French internet access supplier, Free. It’s impossible to send email: Network error: (posik 96) It’s only with IPhone on IOS 18, not before, and not with my IPad or Mac. Apple Store wasn’t able to fix the problem. And it’s impossible to change for IOS 17. Then I can’t send email with my iPhone. When Apple will fix this bug??
I have exactly the same problem.
Tried to fix this, not sure but it might have to do with the certificates being self signed with dovecot.
Sending emails is possible in iOS18, only receiving en viewing the imap mail content is not possible in iOS18 in combination with dovecot.
I hope they fix this because this is one of the most essential functions of the device.
I have a dovecot/postfix server as well and am using lets encrypt for ssl, and am experiencing this issue too. I do not think it's an issue with self signed certificates.
No VPN here either.
Curious, has anybody brought this up on any Dovecot mailing lists yet? Or somewhere else? I am looking at their recent archives and see nothing. I do see this mentioned on Mac Rumors forums.
I have dovecot 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) on a stock Debian 12 system at the moment. Postfix is working fine.
I'm not using any other server or VPN, just the mail app provided by Apple and the standard configuration on the iPhone, upgraded to 18.1.1 and the problem persists. I get mail on my PC through iCloud and that's working fine. Mail will drop on the iPhone ocasionally but does not reflect what is on the iCloud server, i.e. deleted on server shows up as unread on app...

Error in downloading mail on IMAP after i… - Apple Community
for your information. I had the same issue what is discussed here in my old dovcot setup while i was moving to iOS18, and i got its fixed by solving the issues in my dovecot settings.
I think the issue with iCloud mail can be sorted out by one of the below;
Try deleting the mail app only if recreating the mail account does not work.
Same Problem for me - Support said the problem is known and seems to occur if you use your own domains
I'm getting the message Network error POSIX 60 when trying to get my icloud mail. My phone also does not work on the wifi since the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
same problem with e-mail after installing IOS18.
Same here!
I Updated yesterday to iOS 18.1 and now I get the account failure (POSIX 54 network failure) when checking on new mail in my iCloud Mailaccount
My guess is Apple is investigating each case individually before they declare it as a bug. It would help if more people raise cases with Apple support. Frustrating, but then it is what it is.
Based on today’s conversation with Apple support, should get a feedback from the engineering group sometime on Monday India time.
18.1 update resolved my issue
Hey, glad you solved it for yourself, would you like to tell us how you managed to fix this? The steps you took will be quite helpful to know. Thanks.
