iPhone iCloud mail server failure

Trying to download new iCloud mail to my iPhone 14 Pro running OS 18.

When I open the iCloud mailbox I get this error message:

"Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed. Server message "Failed to get mailbox (took 3 ms)"

Note: Still getting iCloud mail on my Mac laptop.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Downloading yahoo mail to my iPad and iPhone is not working properly I am having problems downloading messages from my yahoo mail account to my iPhone (which is running iOS 16.6.1) and iPad (which is running iPadOS 16.6.1). I keep getting messages saying “this message has not been downloaded from the server” or “connection to the server failed”. Messages are downloaded eventually, but this is very slow and sometimes takes several hours. I have tried resetting network settings as has been suggested in earlier discussion threads on this issue, but this doesn’t help.

Did you figure out what’s going on? Mine just started this yesterday and so far I have not been able to figure it out.

Mine just started working after about a week of not working. I’d make sure your OS and mail app is up to date. Good luck!
