Multiple exchange accounts in Mail

I have just added two "Exchange 2007" accounts to Mail 4.5. I run Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
The problem is that Mail messes up which account folders and messages belong to. For instance, both folders lists contains the same folders, but they (obviously) should not. The folders in one account is empty, as that account doesn't even have a folder by that name.
I know I have received messages to one account (the one with the empty folders), but the "Inbox" shows as empty. This was the first account of the two that I added. It worked fine until I added the second account.
How can I solve this?
Thanks!

Let me name the accounts for easier reference.
I added LT first, which worked.
Then I added CS which worked, but caused LT to not work.
I tried removing the LT account, and adding it again. It didn't help at all.
So I quit Mail. Opened ~/Library/Mail and removed the EWS folder for the LT account.
Opened Mail again.
Now the account LT works just fine, but the account CS stopped working. The CS account now has no messages and no folders (in Mail).
Correction: The CS account has no folders, but do have messages in the Inbox

TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
hope this helps.

How to setup multiple Exchange accounts in Mail with the same username/password

Okay didn't see a place to ask a Mail question so I am placing this here.
I work for a helpdesk that requires me to monitor 4 different email accounts throughout the day. They are all Exchange accounts. The first one setups just fine but when I go to setup the others I get a message that states that the username and password are in use for the other account. Is there any way to setup multiple Exchange account when using the same LDAP creds for all the accounts?

Csound1,
I need to add a second Exchange account to my MBP using Mail. Both accounts are with Rackspace, but each email address is unique (i.e., two different domain names). When I use Preferences to attempt to add the second account, it recognizes the new credentials, finds the server and autopopulates the necessary address information. But, as soon as I click "Done" after setting which functions are active on the account (mail, cal, contacts, etc.), the screen shows only my original Exchange account. The new one is not added, yet there is no error message saying that it can't be added. Any idea what is going on? Shouldn't Mail be able to have multiple Exchange accounts, even if they are hosted via the same Rackspace server (in this case: connect.emailsrvr.com)?
Many thanks,

Outlook 2010/multiple exchange accounts/new mail notification on one only

Hi, is there a way to have multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010 but just have new mail notifications on the first only?
I tried having the first exchange account open an additional user, but running into memory errors as a result. Found the solution to that by adding them as separate accounts, but this creates noise with mail notifications, reminders, etc-
Thanks in advance - Joe

Hi,
You can configure multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. For details on how to configure, you can refer to this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook/archive/2009/08/25/multiple-exchange-accounts-in-outlook-2010.aspx
Also, only the default mail store will get the new mail icon. You can use rules to pop up a desktop notification for the other accounts but the icon will only appear
for the default account.

Multiple Exchange accounts in Mail.app - is this possible?

Hi folks,
I would like to start using Mail.app with my Exchange accounts.
Now, does Mail.app support this feature?
If not can it be at least set up in such a way that through one single Exchange account I can see my other exchange accounts by delegating all the privileges to that main exchange accounts and thus doing it indirectly?
Thanks
Alex

Outlook 2010 - Multiple Exchange Accounts - Won't send from second account

I've setup multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. I receive fine for both accounts, but cannot send from second account. Sent email goes to the Outbox and stays there.
I've tried going back to a second profile, and it works fine. Mail in Outbox from efforts above stay in Outbox. If I pull them up, I can resend with no issue.
I need to be able to send with multiple accounts in same profile to do other projects I'm currently working on. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Mike

I was able to fix this with Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1.
Another area that I had to change was the inbox for that other account I created a rule to put in the primary inbox folder (email 2).
After that the email was only checking one to send and recieve based on the highlighted account, so to resolved that I went to Send/Reveive Groups > Define Groups > Edit Account Properties and made sure they refresh every 1 minute(s).

Searching Multiple Exchange Accounts in Outlook 2010

Hi
After upgrading to Outlook 2010, one of my users can no longer search multiple exchange accounts. Here is the background. The user is an administrative assistant for 2 partners. She has full permissions against their mailboxes. Their
accounts show up under her Outlook profile and she can access all the mail, calendars, etc. However, when she searches, she only gets results back for her mailbox. She needs to be able to search and get results back from the partners mailboxes
as well. Is there a setting we are missing?
Thanks,
Ron Soulliard

Hi,
It seems to be an issue fixed by the updates. Make sure you have patched Office 2010 SP1 and have the programs up to date on the assistant's computer.

Multiple exchange-accounts

Hi everybody
I have a gmail that contains all my personal e-mails, contacts and calender notes. I also have a work e-mail that contains alle my work related e-mails, contacts and calender note (meetings ect.)
Both accounts can configured as a "Mail for Exchange" which suites me perfectly. I have tried iPhone and Android and it works perfect with multiple exchange account - but Nokia C7 doesn't? Why?
I have googled this for some time without getting any good anwers. Some people says that raodsync does the trick but on the roadsync supportpage the developers state that rodadsync only support one exchange account at the time.
Can it be true that the largest cell-phone manufacturer in the world don't support this simple feature. iOS and Android does...
Please help me, I would like to switch to Nokia but this issue is a deal-breaker :-(
Sincerly yours

Let me know if this possible at least.
Thank you in advance,

IOS 4.0.1 Email Subfolder problem with multiple Exchange accounts

Hi folks,
Situation: iPhone 4, iOS 4.0.1, multiple Exchange accounts, corporate exchange server 2010
problem: Emails are of course organized into subfolders. However, my iPhone only displays NEW incoming Emails when they are sent to an accounts ROOT Emails folder. I can access the subfolders of each account using the "account:" buttons and read the mails - but thats useless since I dont have an idea WHICH folder of WHICH ACCOUNT received a new mail!
to me, that is definitely a bug - not a feature.
any ideas?

I cannot believe this is actually the case -- I'm experiencing the same problem and it's driving me nuts! Come on Apple; this needs to be fixed if you actually expect the iphone to become a real business device.

Support for multiple Exchange accounts

I can't seem to get multiple exchange accounts to work in Mail. Everything I have read says it should work but no such luck.
I have 4 accounts on our exchange server so i need them all in Mail. The first one I set up works fine, but if I add others, the messages do not appear in the mailboxes anymore.
Has this happened to anybody else? I have tried it on my iMac and my MacBook Pro and the same thing happens on both.

Same thing happens to me.
When I add a second exchange account, all of the mail (including folders) from the first account move into the second one. The first account that was added is empty. I have two other exchange accounts, but haven't dared to add them. For now, I deleted the second account and have just the one (that is used the most) setup in Mail.

Office Small Business Premium 365 - Setting up multiple Exchange accounts

Can we set up multiple Exchange accounts on a single Outlook profile using Outlook 2013 (365 Full App)? We have an email subscription to O365, and we have another email account that's hosted with GoDaddy that's an Exchange account. I think it's
possible, but I'm being advised that it isn't reliable (or that it can't work). I found this TechNet article that seems like it
should work: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee815819(v=office.15).aspx However, I don't have OCT with O365 Small Business Premium, so I don't know how else to do this...
Any suggestions/advise? Thank you!

Seems like it is possible. I was able to add two exchange accounts (office 365 services) into Outlook 2013. I guess this is possible through Email Accounts (add New...). Thanks, Microsoft!

Completely delete Exchange account from Mail client on Mac

I'm having a problem with a several e-mail messages in my Mail client. These messages seem "stuck" in that whenever I try to delete these messages, I get an error message in Mail that says:
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — Exchange”.
I named the account Exchange. These messages are NOT on my Exchange mail server anymore - I also access my mail from an Outlook client as well and these "stuck" messages do not appear in Outlook which is pulling directly from Exchange.
My first attempt to resolve was to delete the account from the Mail client and set it up again. All of the folders and e-mail messages re-appeared almost instantly so it obviously didn't go out to the Exchange server and pull down over 100K e-mail messages in 30 seconds.
Then I spoke to AppleCare. They directed me to the Library to delete a subfolder in the Mail folder that appeared to contain the messages. When I emptied the Trash, it appeared that the 100K messages were being deleted. I went to Mail to setup the account again. Again, the messages reappeared quickly as before and the problem messages were still there as if they never were deleted.
So now I'm looking for a way to completely the Exchange account and all of its local data from Mail. I want the Mail client to start from scratch and go out to the Exchange server to get the data like the account had never been setup on this Mac before. I'd also opt for a fresh install of Mail but I have a MBA 11 so I don't have OS media or a DVD drive.
Somewhere Mail is clealry caching info on that account. It's apparent when I've deleted the account and then re-opened Mail to set it back up the first time. Whenever the dialog box appears, it remembers my Exchange e-mail account information in the field so it's obviously pulling that information from somewhere locally on the Mac, not from the server.

As you say, removing the Exchange account on Mail really doesn't delete it. It's caching something because of how quickly it finds the folders etc. if you add the account again.
I was having a lot of very strange problems with Mail/Contacts/Calendar and certainly a new user I set up from scratch worked with Mail etc. straight away. I didn't test it for days but within seconds it pulled down all the correct emails and the number of unread tallied with my iPhone which was one of the annoying problems I was having.
One of the things I read elsewhere is how useful doing a Mailbox/Rebuild from within Mail is. I just tried it now on my existing user name and it certainly seems to have helped. It immediately refreshed the Inbox and had it accurate. However, despite having it set to "1 min checking for new mail" after several mins it seems to have hung again and isn't refreshing.
Mail for OSX has caused me a million more problems that for iOS which just works every time. I don't see how Apple can make it work so smoothly on iOS and give loads of problems on OSX.
Have you tried the Mailbox/Rebuild?

Correct settings for adding Exchange account in Mail

I have successfully added an exchange account to my iPhone. However, to add the same account to Mail there different, additional settings that I cannot seem to get right.
the details I entered into my phone are as follows (please excuse the xxx's but I thought it best not to publish the full details of how to access my server!)
server: arexxx1.axxxring.com
domain: axxxring.local
username: daniel
password: xxxxxx
the settings that are required to add an exchange account to mail are:
incoming mail server
username
password
outlook web access server
outgoing mail server
can anyone advise me how the settings I entered into my iphone might apply to the fields in Mail or if it is even possible.
I am using os x 10.5.8 and exchange 2003.
Many thanks

Obviously you know your username and password so all you should require is the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses which you can obtain from the domain IT people who provide the Exchange account. I am not sure what the outlook web access server address is, but your IT people should know.

Multiple Exchange accounts on iOS7

In iOS6, it was possible to have multiple Exchange accounts that each had their own calendar, and you could show both calendars with different colors. Now only the main account's calendar shows up.
Exchange + Gmail still shows up as two separate calendars, though, as do any other accounts.
Is this a known iOS 7 bug, a stripped out feature, or something no one has seen before? It's happening on a dozen pads & phones our company just updated, and the shared calendar is very important.

Further research has shown this isn't an iOS problem, it was the move to Exchange 2010 that caused the problem. It has a new default limit of 10 on shared sync connections.

Adding contacts across multiple exchange accounts?

I have multiple exchange accounts syncing contacts to my iPhone. When I add a contact to my phone manually, is there a way to select which account I want it to sync with, or does it always just go to the default account?
Additionally, is there any way to physically merge my :"unified contacts" and sync back to my exchange accounts (some have different info)

Thanks! I have done that, but new contacts are still only placed in the "On my iPad" group. I know that previously, without multiple Exchange accounts, contacts were automatically added to the only Exchange account.
