Has anyone else seen problems with their remote iPhones that have recently been updated [10.x.x something] and connecting via IMAPS, SMTPS ?
I came across this last week. After a lot of head scratching and muttering about Tim Cooke's parentage, I did succeed in resolving this.
1 I deleted the mail account completely (IMAPS)
2 Recreated the account. It then gave 3 options re certificates. By following the links for details I was able to trust the certificate.
3 It then went on to verify the account (took a while) and email reception was restored.
4 The SMTP server verified as being on Port 25 SSL which is not correct.
5 I edited the SMTP and changed it to Port 465 SSL. It then went off and re-verified the SMTP account.
6 This was a hit and miss affair and it took and incredibly long time to finally verify after 4 or 5 attempts which failed.
I should say the IMAPS server and the smtp server are both the same SME running on Ports 993 & 465 respectively (default)
I am not suggesting this is the holy grail for resolution. Far from it, however this is what finally worked for me after much shagging around and an incredible amount of consumed time. Really, it should not be this hard but this may help someone or become the starting point for a more streamlined resolution. Thanks heaps Apple (not).

BTW Other option is to throw the iPhones away and go to android. They dont go through all this nonsense, they 'just work'
