Summary:

If "Settings" prompts to verify a mail server's identity, and you press Cancel, you get caught in a loop.

Steps to Reproduce:

Set up an SMTP (outgoing) and IMAP (incoming) mail server which use SSL. Give them a certificate which is signed by an authority unknown to your iPad.

Expected Results:

Settings will 'verify' the server, notice that it doesn't trust the certificate, and ask you what to do. If you select "Cancel" it should cancel.

Actual Results:

If you select "Cancel", Settings will immediately retry verifying the server. There's no way to get out of this loop or to quit settings, unless you want to accept an untrusted certificate, which obviously you don't want to do.
