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.

Perfect! Problem solved.
Thank you for your wisdom!
This solution fromRobbie Hinson solved the problem for me.
I was having the same issue on my Apple OS. The message would display every 5-10 seconds and was more than obnoxious. I went into my mail settings, i use Apple’s mail client, turned of SSL on incoming and outfoing mail servers and selected DONE. When i received the popup that log ins were disabled i hit DONE again. You will get an error message so make sure you hit DONE twice and it will force the tasks. After SSL is removed
from both incoming and outgoing servers, select DONE on the IMAP Account Informatiom screen and let it verify. If you get the error message again,
hit DONE twice to force. It will verify credentials and complete the task. Then log back in and turn back on SSL on both servers and select done. This has corrected the issue for me.
Yes it does.
just reenable SSL after a minute or so. Here is what i followed.

I have the same problem
I have a personalized email address with my own domain, that I transferred over from a GoDaddy cpanel address. The address was configured as 'Other' on the IOS list - I had just updated the server addresses as per MSFT. I deleted the account and recreated it as an 'Outlook.com' address. This seems to have fixed the problem for me. I suspect this is similar solution to Jeff's.
I did try Jeff's solution on the ipad. No pop-ups so far. However, it did say that smtp.outlook.com does not support password authentication, so I let this be (for now).
