Network error (POSIX 96)" on iPhone usually indicates a problem with the email server connection, often related to network settings or account configuration. It commonly appears when iOS devices are having trouble downloading emails, and is frequently associated with IMAP server connections.
Here's a breakdown of the issue and troubleshooting steps:
Understanding the Error:
- POSIX:
- Refers to the Portable Operating System Interface, a set of standards specifying how operating systems should behave, especially for Unix-like systems.
- POSIX Error Codes:
- In some systems, like embedded systems using Newlib, positive numbers are used for POSIX error codes.
- Error 96:
- Specifically, in the context of email, this often means the device can't properly connect to the email server to download or send emails.
- Common Causes:
- Incorrect network settings (SSID, password).
- Network connectivity issues (WiFi, cellular data).
- Email account configuration problems (incorrect settings, corrupted account).
- iOS bug (in some versions, like iOS 18, a bug in the Mail app can cause this).
- Email server problems.
