iOS 17.1.1 email issues

Since installing iOS 17.1.1, all email accounts (including iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo) only update after restarting the iPhone. Otherwise, they generate a “Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed” error. I’ve already reentered passwords; the error only returns. This is clearly a 17.1.1 issue, as it didn’t exist for me as a problem before then.

iPhone incoming email not working iOs 16. iPhone 2020 SE I have two mail accounts with the same @. I configured them with the same incoming server name and password. One works and one doesn't. On the one that doesn't, the error alert is: Cannot Get Mail Server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings. Thinking maybe the settings were corrupt, I configured a new account. On this new account, the error alert is: No password provided. But I typed in the password for both incoming and outgoing. I re-typed the password in both fields. I still get that "no password" alert. I have CAREFULLY retyped the settings. It still doesn't work. With both of those accounts, the outgoing email functions perfectly. Any ideas?

Did you update all your apps in App Store after the update of the IOS?
