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

9月

20日

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.

Employee Spotlight: Meet Ryan

9月

18日

At PSPINC, we pride ourselves on helping our customers grow their business online with their website. This is largely thanks to our incredibly talented and experienced design team. In this series, we will highlight and showcase some friendly faces standing by to take your call or email, help with your IT problems, and assist with your online solutions. This time, we’re spotlighting Chief Design Officer, Ryan Heinrichs, who is gearing up to represent us at the annual International Executives Association (IEA) Conference in Las Vegas.

Meet Ryan

Ryan manages our expert design team at PSPINC as our Chief Design Officer. We sat down with Ryan and asked him some questions to get to know him better.

What do you do at PSPINC?

I oversee all elements of creative, design, marketing, and front-end development. As well as assist with strategy and new service creation.

What does a typical day on the job look like for you?

No two days are the same. We meet daily each morning with our R&D team members for a status report for our ongoing projects. From there, my day can go in many directions as I work with our design, marketing, and development teams to address our many projects.

How did you first learn about PSPINC?

I found a job posting for a Web Designer position.

How long have you been working at PSPINC?

15 years.

What do you like to do for fun?

Hanging out with my wife and two kids, going to the gym, reading, and golfing.

What is your favorite food?

Tacos

What is your favorite movie?

It's hard to pick just one - The Empire Strikes Back, The Bourne Identity, and Pulp Fiction to name a few.

What’s the most challenging part of your job?

Being provided an idea or piece of business logistics and finding the easiest and best way to implement it into online software. Along with being challenging, it's also equal parts exciting and rewarding!

Before working for PSPINC, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

Before college, I worked in a large furniture distribution center pulling orders and loading trucks. I spent a lot of time on electric pallet trucks, forklifts and order pickers.

What have you learned since working here?

I've learned a lot! But one of the most important is the value of UX (user experience) when it comes to software design. It's a bit like the old adage of "if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?" You can have the most feature-rich, powerful application in the world. But if it's too complex for your userbase, it doesn't have any value.

What has been your favorite project at PSPINC?

Our newest product, Biznomos, has been my favorite project so far. In a leadership role I have less time to take on large scale design projects myself. With this one, I was able to roll up my sleeves and come up with the full system design.

What has been your proudest moment at PSPINC?

The same answer! I believe Biznomos is one of the best products on the market when it comes to business association management - both for admins and members. Being on the ground floor, from concept to creation, has been extremely rewarding. I'm looking forward to continuing to get this in the hands of associations as well as continuing to add more features and upgrades!

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

If you are involved with (or know someone involved with) a member association or business network, I would love for you to check out Biznomos. We are offering a no obligation free trial. PSPINC also provides a number of other Business Tools that I would love for people to check out.

And of course, if you need custom software unique to your business, we can help too!

We hope you enjoyed getting to know Ryan today! If you’re looking to grow your business online, don’t hesitate to contact us by emailing us at contact@pspinc.com or calling us at 800-232-3989.
