centurylink.net email will not work on iPhone 16

Centurylink’s IMAP settings never worked for me after IOS 18 and I would have been without email had it not been for Centurylink’s web mail feature. Switching to Centurylink’s POP 3 settings finally solved the problem for me. pop.centurylink.net in incoming host. Port 995. Security SSL.

tmbrowng - thank you so much for posting about using the POP 3 settings. I've been without Centurylink email on my phone for almost two months, but using the POP 3 worked and now It's back.

What actually happens when you try to get mail? Do you see any error messages? Does this happen on cellular only, wi-fi only, or both? When you say you tried settings via centurylink, do you mean via their website, or did you speak directly to their support?

Thanks for reaching out, bleulane. I’ve been knocking on a lot of wood! Lol
