I think there are/were multiple issues, which confuses diagnosis. As a workaround I had disabled imap-IDLE on my (Dovecot) mail server and my iOS 18.2 iPhone was able to get mail, but was still hanging at times.
After updating to iOS 18.2.1, I re-enabled imap-IDLE and mail seems to be working normally. It uses imap-IDLE (near-realtime delivery) when the mail app is open and fetches every 15 minutes otherwise. It gets the mail messages and alerts correctly.
