Email errors with AOL and Gmail accounts on iPhone 14 Plus after iOS 18.5 and 18.6 updates

Issues with getting emails, with my AOL and Gmail accounts on my iPhone 14 Plus, since the latest iOS update 18.5 then 18.6. Keeps saying “error” then various reasons. No emails coming through. I’ve done it all to try to fix it, except I have not tried “reset” for network. Annoying ……Apple.

I can't speak to AOL emails but I have two Gmail accounts on my iPhone, updated to iOS 18.6.2 and they work just fine. So, you may be premature in blaming Apple.

Does “done it all” include:


Reset Network Settings: No data will be lost, except Wi-Fi passwords


Tried with both cellular data and Wi-Fi


Deleting the accounts, then adding them back


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.
