you are making it hard to impossible to help you if you are mixing servers and their responses and port 993 will *never ever* show STARTTLS because it is IMAPS which enforces a encrypted connection and *not* STARTTLS where the inital connection is unencrpyted by design
so *please* stay at *one* config, *one* machine and *one* port for debugging
if the machine in question announces STARTTLS on port 143 it should work and that is why i asked if *a different client* than a iPhone is using STARTTLS on *that* machine with *that config*
Oh I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting I stop trying to get this to work, give in, and *just use another email client*. My apologies.
I was looking for another iPhone email client which was free and did iMap. I failed. I think I'll just have to pay for one and try it.
I've run out of time just now. I'll try again soon
i asked for using *a different device* like Thunderbird or whatever on a PC to confirm that STARTLS is working in general or not and not a different application on the same Apple device as we all know that any app on a iPhone is using *the same* backends as the vendor application
that's why there is no Firefox because the would have to use Safari and make a nice window around it but not a own rendering engine
with thunderbird you can *explicit* switch between IMAPS on 993 and STARTTLS on port 143 and so easy verify if the server is working and only your specific client have a problem
