iPhone “Cannot Verify Server Identity”
In general, iPhone comes up with “Cannot Verify Server Identity” error when a New Email Account is setup or added to Mail App and also while trying to send an Email. The reason for this error is due to iPhone being unable to fetch or verify the Mail Server’s SSL certificate and also if the SSL certificate has expired, is fake or inconsistent with the domain name.
