unable to sync notes to mail server

I'm unable to synchronize notes when setting up mail account on iOS 10.

When going through "other" to manually set up my ISP settings (as IMAP), I have "Mail" enabled to sync, and "Notes'

(I think Apple refers to this as IMAP notes on their website)

I can never get this to work,,,, I found out that it may and may not work and is based on whether the server supports Note syncing,,

However i have the same account set up on Mac and sync notes to my ISP's srever just fine. I can login from web and view my notes...

But when trying to sync notes from iOS it just fails ....no error or anything.

I tried creating new note just to test, but this didn't help... and since it works from Mac, I don't believe its server side..

Anyone have any insight?
