Are there current IMAP email issues?
Currently I can't get my email via imap on windows or ios devices. But, occasionally it works and will sync, but then it fails for another hour. The web interface always works. Is there a separate ...
iOS 26 Mail and latest Outlook 365 "classic" both use oauth2, and since they both had the issue I don't think it is a software issue.
I wonder if there is a blocking issue-- too many imap connections trigger a temporary imap lockout? I don't know how to tell if such a limit has been hit since the 0x800ccc0e error in outlook or failure to sync in iOS gives no information on why it is occurring. Or maybe it is something else? I don't know how to see the reason for the failure, and that is the most frustrating part of it. It just works sometimes or it doesn't, and then goes back to working again, and it is just the one account, while others are fine.

Community Power UserI don't believe there is any type of blocking for IMAP connections.
Possibly an account/profile issue. It might be worth a try to remove and add the account back.
I did remove and re-add the account on iOS and it had the same issue. Worked, and then didn't for a few hours, and then worked again. It is currently working, but who knows for how long...

Possibly some form of network/connectivity issue? If it's intermittent that could explain it. Not sure what else to suggest.
The network/connectivity is fine because all other email accounts work. AI suggested that gmail can temporarily block imap if an account uses too many connections, so maybe the telus gmail workspace does as well. But I'm just guessing.
