You get the warning, but you are then able to read mail right?

I had a similar problem and received the same warning, but I wasn't able to retrieve or send any mail. Check your mail settings and see if they are correct. If it's a common mail account (yahoo, gmail, etc) the iphone will be able to retrieve the proper settings.

If it isn't a common mail account, like a school mail account, then call the IT help desk to get the correct settings.
 
That happens sometimes after you restore because sometimes the restore doesn't remember your Mail password. To fix, just go into your Mail settings and re-enter your password. This has happened to me before, but yours could be something different.. worth a shot.
