I have this message appearing on my iPad every 20 seconds or so.  I use an Office365 exchange account to sync email, contacts and calendar onto the iPad and also use Onedrive for storage along with Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc.

I have had periods of tim when this error message appears, but usually only for 24 hours max.  If it is for a prolonged period, I found that deleting the Exchange account from the iPad and setting it up again often cured the problem.

This time it has been going on for weeks, with no let-up.  I have deleted and set the account up again twice, to no avail.  Please help it's driving me bonkers.

    I have the same problem. I can change the SLL, but it won’t let me hit ‘done’ to confirm the change. I get a “Cant get to mail, Logins are disabled” error.

    I also have the same issue...but across my Mac OSX, iPhone, and iPads!  Clearly, a Microsoft problem to address.

    I am receiving the same issue across iOS devices.  I concur that this is a Microsoft issue - nothing else has been changed or modified on my iOS devices.

    I’m having the exact same issue on my Mac, iPhone 11 Max, and iPad Pro. It’s getting worse and popping up more and more often (several times in a row now). I use Apple’s mail app. Please find a solution, it’s something you changed recently.
