Chie Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I am trying to setup my email account on the iPhone. While it is verifying the POP account information, I get an error: "Secure Connection Failed. The certificate for "email address" may be invalied." Any suggestions? Thanks. Quote
Head Guru Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Just ignore it. Once you ignore that error it should go away and not come back. At least it did on my iPhone. Bill Quote

Jeter2Fan93 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Can I ask why you chose POP3 over IMAP? I ask because using a mobile device such as an iPhone, I would rather have my folders and messages sync up with my computer so that I don't lose any messages in the process. BTW, love my iPhone! (I may have misread the message, so forgive me if I did) Edited March 13, 2008 by Jeter2Fan93 Quote
LaneyMarie Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Every time I try to set up e-mail for the iPhone POP or IMAP it just takes forever and I guess timesout because the account never takes. Any suggestions? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I don't have an iPhone but it should be pretty easy to set up. Make sure you are using your full email address to log into the server. Quote
lguzenda Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I am trying to setup my email account on the iPhone. While it is verifying the POP account information, I get an error: "Secure Connection Failed. The certificate for "email address" may be invalied." Any suggestions? Thanks. I get the same problem on my iPhone. it may be a 3.1 problem. An account I'd setup previously still works, but now I get the error you report on both my iPhone and on regular Mac OS X 10.6.1 if I try to setup a new Mail account on the same server. I let it default to IMAP, but SNMP doesn't work either. This is suspiciously like an issue that occurred when they upgraded Mac OS X to Snow Leopard (10.6). It required a fix at my main ISP (Frontiernet) and Apple claimed they'd fixed it in Mac OS X 10.6.1. I'm going to report the certificate error to Totalchoicehosting as my daughter is seeing exactly the same issue with her email. I'm also going to file a bug with Apple.

TCH-Bruce Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Welcome to the forums lguzenda If you are getting certificate errors it's because you are setting up your email using your domain. If you are on a shared server the certificate is not registered to your domain it's registered to the server. Accept the certificate once and the error should go away. Quote
