Adding a Pop Exchange Mail Account

I can't get this to work at all. It takes FOREVER then finally fails by saying my outbound username or password was incorrect.
This worked just fine w/ my Blackberry before I got the iPhone 3G. I also can go over to Outlook and create a new POP account using the same settings and it works just fine.
Anyone have a solution for this?

For anyone that has had the same problem, I finally figured out a solution:
1) To connect to an Exchange box using POP, since Exchange 2003 does not (by default) support the "LAST" command, you have to enable it by editing the registry (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;282400). It works after that.
2) If connecting using IMAP, then besides having to open IMAP and LDAP on your firewall, when specifying the UserName in the UserName/Password Criteria fields, DO NOT specify the Domain name (like you normally would domain/username). It'll figure itself out.

Pop 3 mail account

can anybody help me? i've set my mail up and its been working fine for around three months but now when i go into mail it keeps saying for no reason my pop 3 mail account has rejected my password. i havn't changed any settings . thanks in advance. JB

If you're getting those pop-up alerts that say you need to re-enter your password, I get them too. I think it's a problem with the mail server, not your computer.

How to set up Exchange Mail account on 5s

I am having trouble getting an Exchange mail account set up on my 5s. I get a message back that says "cannot verify server identity." When I click for more details an account shows up that is not my company and is a "not trusted" account. How do I change this information to my correct company information?

Since it is a company phone ask your IT guys to set up the email account for you.

POP E-mail account password

My POP mail account is not working. I've had this computer a long time and I intend to get a new one
because it's so out of date but in the mean time I need to get this problem fixed. The problem is with the
password. I NEVER had to type it in. It was always in there in mail preferences/accounts (all in asterisks*****)
For reasons I can't figure out, the password is no longer there. In keychain access there is no
indication of any mail account and password.When I click on "get mail" I get a prompt that asks for
a password. I have no idea what it is! My e-mail server is Time Warner Cable. They have no idea
what I'm talking about. I opened a g mail account just so I can do some e-mailing but I hate the format
and I want to continue to send and receive e-mails at my POP account and Time Warner e-mail address
as I have many business cards with that address on it. How can I fix the Pop e-mail account password
problem? Should I contact Apple and pay to ask them a question? I'm really perplexed. Even though
"mail" is not in my keychain access list, I tried to look at other passwords for other things and a prompt
asks me for a "keychain access password". I never had one! But that's a different issue. For now I'll settle for
a solution to my POP password problem.

Thank u for your suggestions. I'm the only one who uses this computer but I do have another mail account with g-mail which I only opened after the POP account failed. I repaired the keychain access to no avail but it did say that there was "no problem" with the chain. I reset the chain and I still can't send or receive e-mails from my POP account. I called Time Warner cable and they said they thought there could be a problem on their end and they
were checking it out. But the problem remains that even if they fix the problem that is rejecting my e-mail password, I now have no e-mail password to type in. It used to be saved in Preferences and now it's no longer there. If I can't retrieve the password from somewhere (it's not on my keychain access list) I don't know how to get the password or create a new one. As a result of resetting the keychain I now have a keychain access password. But there's no POP account or any mail app in the keychain list to use it with.

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone and many of my settings have defaulted. Was this set by my business or by exchange?

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone to acces smy business emails and many of my settings have defaulted. As an example, my passcode has defaulted to a minimum of 6 digits and my phone will erase all data after 10 failed attempts. These are now greyed out and I cannot change them.
Is this a default set by Apple/Microsoft?
Or was this a setting enforced by my company, whose mail exchange I am accessing?

ditto what KT said...the passcode requirement enables the encryption of the local storage of your device and auditing of that policy ..it protects your organization AND you from potential data loss and a mandatory reporting obligation..imagine how miserable it would be to see the name of your organization on the front page of your local newspaper with a story about data loss....every IT and risk management department's worst nightmare

Exchange mail account has to reload all mail again when turned on each time in IOS 6

I regularly turn my exchange mail account off as I don't need it on all the time. However now with IOS 6, as soon as I turn it on again the previous, say 60 emails are not there as they were in IOS 5, and it has to reload them all again. Is this normal? Is there something I'm not doing right to keep them saved on the iphone? It's a real pain to reload all emails again.

This worked for me, https://discussions.apple.com/message/18090608#18090608
I was using an alias on iOS5 and it worked, iOS6 I started seeing myself in the reply all CC line. I changed my exchange account settings in iPhone to match the exchange servers email address and it fixed the issue.

Exchange mail account not getting deleted - Iphone froze

Exchange mail account is not getting deleted if i try it and
it frozes the iphone.
Switch off the phone and restarting doesn't help
Same thing happens when you try to change contact off in exchange mail properties.
I have 3G iphone with firmware 2.1

I have the same or a similar problem - after my update to the firmware on friday, i have intermittent ability to download email.
i have 4 accounts on my phone - a mobile me account, 2 accounts through Cox servers, and my exchange account. I was able to download from all accounts just once after updating the firmware 3 days ago.
The Cox accounts are the only ones that work - and only sometimes. outbound emails become phantom emails and go nowhere.
I lost the domain information in my exchange account. when i go in to update it, it freezes and won't save the new domain or let me leave the settings screen unless I hit the home or sleep/wake buttons.
i tried deleting the exchange account to recreate it, but it freezes on that.
I lost my calendar entirely.
i had to resync my contacts.
this is worse (much worse) than before the firmware fixes.

Sync Exchange Mail Account Calendar with iCal

Is it possible? -With Panther or Tiger? I've seen some third party software, but natively?
I've "Bind" my Mac to my Active Directory via Directory Access successfully. I'm able to configure my Mail client -to point to my account in Exchange. And I'm able to view my Exchange Distribution List successfully via Mac Address Book.
My next project is to sync my Exchange Mail Account Calendar with iCal.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Can you name the third-party apps? I own Groupcal and I am starting to get fed up by their inability to get a proper working app for Tiger. I am using 2.5 beta now, but there are still too many issues with it. I am searching for an alternative solution, but have not yet been succesful.

HT1277 10.8.5 update killed Exchange Mail account

I updated my OSX to 10.8.5 and my Exchange mail account in Mail.app immediately quit working. Any suggestions?

I am also having problems since the 10.8.5 upgrade. For whatever its worth, I am only having problems with Apple Mail. Unfortunately, the problems with Apple Mail led me to set up Outlook on my Mac and that works fine. Mail also works on my iOS devices. Only on my MacBook and only since the moment I upgraded to 10.8.5.

How to set up two POP e-mail accounts using the same POP and SMTP servers

I have an e-mail address based on a domain I purchased which is based on my company name. Now retired, I have purchased a new domain with a simpler, personalised name. My original e-mail account uses the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers operated by my ISP; mail.btinternet.com.
I have set up a new account on my PC in Microsoft Outlook, and have successfully sent and received emails using the new e-mail address taken from my new domain name.
I have now tried to mirror this on my iPhone, but every time I enter all the relevant data for the new e-mail address, user name, password, mail servers etc., and then press 'save', I get a pop-up which says: "xxxx" is Already Added This POP account has already been added to your iPhone. ("xxxx" is the name given to my original e-mail account). Nowhere have I input "xxxx" in the course of setting up the new account.
I need both accounts operational during an extended switch-over period as I alert everyone to the e-mail change over. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Problem with yahoo! SMTP POP server mail account on new upgraded iphone 4.3.5

PLEASE HELP!
I am a California AT&T wireless customer with a new iphone 4 on the iOS 4.3.5 upgraded system and suddenly I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo! email account and have it configured to send/receive my emails. I was able to successfully add my gmail and Microsoft exchange server account, but only problems with the Yahoo! I checked all the settings, have done several add/delete accounts, restore network settings, and retry/reboots, to no avail. This is a seriously annoying problem, it worked with the pre-upgraded older version fine without any problems ever. I continually get the same error message: SERVER UNAVAILABLE, please try again later.
I know this error is inaccurate because all my other email accounts work fine as well as Safari and all other internet connections and apps. It is not a phone thing, it is some yahoo and upgraded software incompatibility issue that no one seems to have resolved yet.
This is a SMTP PUSH POP account, and I have literally tried everything. I have tried all the fixes while connected to wifi, and then tried them just via my 3G cell network connection. I read on a message board about turning on/off SSL, could someone tell me how to do that? When I go into to:
settings>mail accounts>outgoing mail server SMTP>Yahoo! SMTP, everything is grayed out and I can't change any ports or SSL.
When I try to manually add a server, which I was told was a fix, I don't know what to type into the host name. Does anyone know how to help?
I have seen this problems on numerous message boards, even in the UK. I contacted Apple Support, with no success in resolving this problem, had an open case for several days contacted several supervisor personnel, all advised me to contact Yahoo! who do not offer customer care via telephone only online, and nothing there helped to resolve my issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
THANKS

Yahoo's servers have been having problems off and on now for close to a month if not longer. There's not much you can do about it except talk to Yahoo, which is kind of like beating your head against a wall. They've had problems like this off and on since as far back as the mid 90's. I gave up on them long ago. Just convert to something else and dump them. It's not worth the headache.

All contacts gone after deleting old Outlook (exchange) mail account from iphone. How to get contacts back?

I deleted an old company mail account and when doing so it deleted all the contacts on the iphone. How can I get them back? Can I do a restore where I import ONLY the contacts? Or does Restore just overwrite everything?
When I connect my phone with itunes and go to the "Info" tab, it asks me if I want to "Sync Contacts with Outlook" where outlook is a choice from a dropdown menu. The question I have is what contacts are stored on itunes, if any, and which way it will write them ---> phone to itunes or itunes to phone. Since my phone contact folder is empty right now, I want to get these back from itunes. I am hoping those outlook contacts are stored on itunes and can then be downloaded to my phone, but I do not want to do a complete restore as the last time the phone was synced was a long time ago and contacts will be lost. If the sync writes an empty contacts folder onto itunes then the restore will not even be an option. Just want to make sure I do not overwrite any contacts that are stored on itunes.
By the way, icloud for contacts was not on so I do not have that route of recovery.
Help.

Exchange contacts exist only on the Exchange server, and are automatically deleted when the account is remove. This is standard security policy of Exchange accounts. They would not have been backed up to iCloud in any event.

Block Time Machine backup of a single Exchange mail account?

Is it possible to tell Time Machine to not backup one particular e-mail account? speaking here about a corporate exchange account, accessed on my Mac only via Mail app.

Try this. System Preferences/Time Machine/Options, click the + sign and navigate to the account.
Your mailboxes are in your User Library folder which is hidden by default.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2.

10.6.5 update killed Exchange Mail account access

Directly after applying v10.6.5 (incremental update first, then combo update after this problem was discovered) update to my v10.6.4 Mac Mini, I completely lost connection of Exchange email in both Mail (v4.4) and Outlook 2011 (v14.0.1).
I tried making new mail accounts = no joy
I tried making a whole new user and new mail accounts for Outlook and Mail = no joy.
The irony is, the very first item mentioned in the 10.6.5 fixes list (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1325) is "Improves reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers"
I'm not updating any more machines until this gets figured out.
Help help help! I cant access work email! What did apple do to exchange access??

I have just applied 10.6.5 to my Macbook through software update. I loaded up all my email programs, and each one could connect and send mail. As well as, receive it.
I am using Mail 4.4, Entourage Web Services 13.0.4, and Outlook 2011 (I haven't run the update patch yet) connected to an Exchange 2010 box.
As stated above, it may be a 2007 pre SP1 issue possibly. As Exchange 2010 works fine for me.
Check with your various IT people with regards to what version you are running, and make sure it's up to date.
NB: No I don't work for Apple
