For this test, I reconfigured the server to NOT use IMAPS and restarted it. Then I went to my iPhone and turned off SSL for this mail account.
That configuration works for my iPhone.
This is very odd. For the record, I used an iPhone (iOS 7) and iPad (iOS 7), and a couple of Macs, and at least 5 other users use iPhones with iOS 6, and several people are using Macs (OS X 10.6 through 10.9) to connect to my server via SSL.
The only thing that may be different is that I do not allow non-secure connections.
in the account setting on the phone:
Use SSL [X] authentication: Password IMAP Path Prefix: / Server Port: 993
the '/' is grayed out as the default no entry choice
STARTTLS works just fine on the Submission port (587)
