iOS 18 Update Breaks IMAP Mail Connections: What You Need to Know

Sep

19

Apple recently rolled out iOS 18, and as with any major update, it brings a host of exciting new features and improvements. However, not all users are having a smooth experience. Reports have started surfacing online about a significant issue: the update appears to break IMAP connections when using the default Mail app, leaving users unable to access their email.

The Issue at Hand: IMAP Connectivity Problems

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a popular protocol used by many email services to sync emails across multiple devices. After updating to iOS 18, some users are finding that their IMAP email accounts simply stop working in the native Mail app. The symptoms reported include:

Emails failing to load or update.
Inability to send or receive new emails.
Error messages stating that the Mail app cannot connect to the email server.

This issue seems to primarily affect users who rely on third-party email providers, such as those with custom domains or using business email services, though personal accounts aren't entirely spared either.

No Official Acknowledgement from Apple (Yet)

At the time of writing, Apple has not yet addressed the IMAP connection problems. This leaves users frustrated, searching for answers or solutions in forums and social media. While the tech giant is known for promptly addressing bugs, the lack of communication has raised concerns about when or if a permanent fix will be released.

A Potential Workaround

Some users have found a workaround that might temporarily resolve the issue, though it's far from a guaranteed fix. Here's what you can try:

Remove your email account from the Mail app.
Restart your iPhone.
Re-add the account by going to Settings → Mail → Accounts.

While this method has worked for a number of users, others report that the issue persists after a while, so it may only serve as a temporary solution.

What You Can Do In the Meantime

If the workaround above doesn't work for you, there are a couple of alternative approaches to accessing your email:

Use a third-party mail app: Many popular email clients, like Outlook or Spark, have their own IMAP settings might not be affected by the same bug. Installing one of those apps could give you uninterrupted access to your email until Apple resolves this issue.
Access your email via webmail: Most email providers offer web access to your inbox, so logging in via a browser can serve as a reliable backup.

Looking Ahead

It's still early days for iOS 18, and Apple typically follows up major updates with incremental patches to address bugs. Users can expect a fix to be rolled out in an upcoming iOS 18.x update. Until then, if you rely heavily on IMAP-connected email accounts, you may want to hold off on upgrading or explore temporary workarounds. In the meantime, it's important to keep an eye on Apple's support pages and user forums for any official news on the issue.

For any other technology inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact us by calling 1-800-232-3989 or emailing support@pspinc.com.

Announcement: Bloguru Server Security Update with Downtime (8/28/2024)

Aug

26

We’re happy to announce that we’re upgrading our operating system (OS) for Bloguru's server.

We’re upgrading our OS from Cent OS7 to Alma Linux 8 since there will no longer be technical support for Cent OS7 after June 30, 2024, in a continued effort to strive towards making sure our hosting service is the safest it can be. With this new upgrade, it will help patch any vulnerabilities to defend users against cyber threats and also support new encryption protocols.

However, updating the OS will result in about 10 minutes of downtime. You may not be able to access your Bloguru admin panel as well as your posts during this time, so we thought you should know ahead of time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This server upgrade will occur on:

*USA Pacific Daylight Time
- Aug 28th (Wednesday) 7-8am

*Japan Time
- Aug 28th (Wednesday) 11pm-0am

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 (preferred) or email us at support@pspinc.com.

We would be happy to answer any of your questions by phone or email.

NewsMAIL: Upcoming Logs Update

Apr

10

We’re happy to announce that we’re updating the logs feature for our email marketing service, NewsMAIL. When you download your email broadcast log, you’ll see columns that show (from left) the recipient’s emails, the broadcast start date, the broadcast finish date, the success or fail logs, and the mail transfer agent (SMTP server being delivered to).

This update is scheduled at the time below:

* USA Pacific Daylight Time

- April 11th (Thu) 9:00 - 9:30am

* Japan Time
- April 12th (Fri) 1:00 - 1:30am

With this new update, you’ll see more cases of why an email either failed or succeeded in sending. Instead of just seeing a “Pass for DKIM”, it’ll also show other success/fail cases, including:

Blacklisted: If your email fails to send because it’s blacklisted, it means ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have added your IP address and/or domain to a list of blocked emails because they have a reputation for sending spam. If this is the case, we suggest you change your “Mail From (Email)” when composing your broadcasts.

Pass for DKIM: Many email service providers (including Dreamersi!) implement a DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication feature to guarantee the authenticity of an email sender. This log means the email broadcast has been sent to go through the DKIM authentication process.

Connect Failure > Re-Sent: A connection failure can mean the server is receiving too much mail at the time of sending, but NewsMAIL will try delivering the email broadcast again. If successful, it will show as another log entry wih "Success" in that column.
Connect Failure: After re-sending the email broadcast because of a connect failure issue, it failed to deliver the broadcast.

Deferred > Re-Sent: When the recipient’s email server temporarily delays an email, it’s referred to as a deferred email. Again, NewsMAIL will resend the email for you so your recipients will receive it.

DNS Failure: When the recipient’s server can’t receive an email because of a DNS (Domain Name System) problem, it’ll show as a DNS failure in your downloaded logs. Examples of DNS problems include:

The mail server is down
Set-up included a typo
The destination domain doesn’t exist
Internet or network connection problems
Misconfigured DNS settings
An outdated browser

Domain Failure: A domain failure means the sender’s email address failed the domain’s authentication check. Changing the “Mail From (Email)” to send from a different email address should fix this problem.

User Unknown: When a recipient’s email doesn’t exist or is invalid, your email broadcast will not deliver and show the User Unknown in the downloaded Logs file.

SMTP Startup Error > Re-Sent: An SMTP startup error means NewsMAIL couldn’t deliver your broadcast because of incorrect SMTP settings, firewall restrictions, or server connectivity issues, but NewsMAIL also resends the broadcast in this case so your recipients will still receive your email broadcast.

Greylisted > Re-Sent: Greylisting is a spam-preventing feature that temporarily rejects emails from unknown senders, but NewsMAIL will also resend your broadcast so your recipients will receive your broadcast.

Over Quota: An email that doesn’t send because of an “Over Quota” issue means you’re unable to send broadcasts to this email address because your recipient’s mailbox has reached its maximum capacity.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-232-3989 (preferred) or email us at support@pspinc.com.
