I just had to set up the email for a new iPhone, for a mailbox like yourname@username.plus.com. There are instructions at
https://www.plus.net/help/archive/email/ios-setup/
However they say to use "username" for the User Name for the incoming Mail Server. That works for me for the username@username.plus.com account, but for a different mailbox I need to use yourname@username.plus.com instead.
These are the instructions I followed:
=========
If your name is Joe Bloggs, with an email address of yourname@username.plus.com
Press the Settings icon on the iPhone desktop
Type Mail
Click Mail apps
Click Mail Accounts
Click Add Account
Click Other
Click Add Mail Account
Name: Joe Bloggs
Email: yourname@username.plus.com
Password: <your_password>
Description: Plusnet email
Click Next
Click on the IMAP button at the top of the page
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: mail.plus.net
Username: yourname@username.plus.com
Password: <your_password>
Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: relay.plus.net
Username: yourname@username.plus.com
Password: <your_password>
It will then show "Verifying" whilst it tests the settings. If it fails, it will ask if you want to try without SSL. Click Yes.
Then click Save
Switch to the Mail App and see the new mailbox.
=========
This will hopefully help someone else avoid using the useless Greenby AI chatbot.

To protect your email credential you must use encryption on both the inbound and outbound email servers.
Selecting No to SSL suggest not doing this, thus exposing your username / password every few minutes.

How to do you make that change to the settings from an iPhone?
It says "Cannot Connect Using SSL".
From Outlook on Windows, there is an option to change the encryption method to SSL/TLS and that works for me. I don't see an option to do that on an iPhone.

The encryption modes and server ports need to match:
POP3 : SSL/TLS via Port 995
IMAP : SSL/TLS via Port 993
SMTP : STARTTLS via Port 587
or SMTP : SSL/TLS via Port 465
