Apple Mail problem with exchange server

Hi
I configure my both Apple Mail and Entourage to link with my work's MS outlook exchange server. Apple Mail is using Exchange and Entourage is using SMTP. Both work fine receiving and sending while i am in the office. However, when i am home or using USB modem, it will only receive and will not send. Can anyone advice what is the issue?
Thanks

well your work IT guy "should" know which IP address is needed to access from within the work network and from without depending on how he has set up that Exchange server... else it is time to find another IT guy It really is an exchanger server issue, not an Apple Mail issue.
For example, I have been given two IP addresses to use for the outgoing server, and I toggle between one and the other when I want to send email via my exchange account.
hope this helps

Powerbook G4 Apple mail problem with exchange server?

Hello all,
I am new to the group. I just picked up a older PowerBook G4 at a pawnshop for cheap I've got it running really well now with the exception of my email.
I am running OS X 10.5.8
When trying to set it up with my exchange server email it does not seem to want to work with me.
I get an ALERT
(There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Exchange" or try again.)
I know i am online fine. Internet works, streams music etc...
and
(The server error encountered was: The connection to the server (mail.mycompany.com) on port "X" timed out.)
I have tried port numbers:
465
143
443
25
993
995
with no success.
I have pinged my mail.mycompany.com and it is communicating fine there 10 sent 10 recieved.
I am sending emails fine, however I cannot recieve emails.
Anybody know what the problem might be?
THANKS!

Hi,
This might have to do with your outgoing mail server(smtp).. For example, if you use hotmail as your mail client, then your smtp would be: smtp.live.com while the incoming mail server would be: pop.live.com.
In your case, try smtp.mycompany.com or smtp.mail.mycompany.com
See if that resolves the problem.

Apple Mail and MS Exchange server?

In a strange twist of fate, our new university President is a Mac guy (yeah!), but he is obligating all of us to put email and calendar software into MS Exchange server. Sadly, it means I will need to migrate 4 GB of emails from Apple mail to Entourage.
Does anyone know of a solution that will allow me to continue using Apple Mail?
I also favor NOW Up to Date & Contact for calendar and contacts. Any ideas on connectivity between Exchange server?
Thanks.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Rats! I just heard from our IT department. The reason Apple Mail is not supported is that it requires IMAP to be turned on. They claim that "IMAP passes passwords and mail in clear text which is a big security problem. Exchange natively sends all of its info in an encrypted manner. "
Is there a way to get Apple Mail to use Exchange Server without IMAP in a way that will get these security freakish IT folks to be happy?

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely
Ketil Hothorp

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

Daily Problems with Mail Synchronizing with Exchange Server

Our office uses Comcast Business Class Service, which uses 2007 Exchange Servers, for internet access and email. I upgraded my MacPro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, using the Upgrade DVD. The upgrade process kept my original Leopard Mail settings, which were using POP. At that time, I had not problems with email.
Unfortunately, awhile ago my Mail Preferences became corrupt, and I had to delete them. Upon relaunching Mail, the application wanted to use the new Autosync method to connect to the Comcast Exchange Server. Using POP was not an option.
I must say that I am less than impressed with the way Mail integrates with Exchange Servers. I have daily problems, and experience these problems multiple times per day. When they happen, they slow my email communication down to a crawl; sometimes for as much as an hour.
Specifically, the problem appears to be with Mail's ability (or inability) to properly synchronize with Exchange Servers. I get he spinning pizza icons next to the two Exchange email accounts I have in my Mailboxes source column. Opening the Activity window shows that the synchronizing process has slowed everything down. This results in not being able to send or receive email until the synchronizing is complete. And as I said, that can sometimes take as long as an hour.
Stopping the process in the Activity window does not resolve the issue. Nor does quitting and relaunching Mail. Because the next time Mail attempts to connect to the Exchange Server, it will try to synchronize yet again. The problem has become so chronic, that I often have to resort to using Webmail while waiting of the synchronizing process to complete.
Incidentally, the mailboxes that are synchronizing are empty! I am meticulous about keeping my Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash mailboxes empty at all times. I do not use To-Do's, Notes, or Calendars of any kind on the Exchange Server, so there is no data to even sync!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? Other email accounts I have, which use POP or IMAP, do not have this issue. There does not appear to be away to abandon the Autosync Mail setup and revert back to POP. If there is, I will do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks.

Found a solution that works for me. Delete the problem account that's using AutoDiscover to sync with the exchange server. Before doing that, however, you will want to clear out the Inbox, Sent and even Trash folder for that account, as deleting it will remove the messages that currently reside in those folders. Just simply move them to another folder. You can move them back after re-creating the account.
The second step is to re-create the account. Do this as you would normally, and enter in your name, username and password. THE TRICK: Press and hold the Option key when you click Continue. After Mail connects to the server and verifies your account information, you will then have a pull down menu that will allow you to choose Exchange Server, IMAP and POP. Simply select POP or IMAP, then fill out the rest of the fields.
Viola! No more problematic Exchange Server syncing issues.

Mail sync with exchange server problem

I started using Apple last year but have a problem with syncing to my exchange server. My iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air all sync fine but Mail on my iMac will only sync up to 20/08/2013.
The MacBook Air runs 10.9.1 and Mail v7.1 and syncs my exchange and IMAP mail perfectly.
The iMac runs 10.9.1 and Mail v7.1 and syncs my IMAP mail accounts fine but will not sync beyond 20/08/2013. I have tried deleting the account but keep getting messages that this will delete the account from my Macbook as they are linked via icloud. I can disable the account on the iMac but cant see how to delete it then.
There are posts about deleting mail caches but I dont know which files these are.
Can you help please?

Mail.app problems with Exchange Server

Hi,
I've got a Mail.app 4.2 version and a company Exchange 2007 e-mail address account.
Recently, I've changed from Entourage for Mail.app since, we couldn't configure the new account to Entourage anymore. This is because we've changed Exchange Service Provider.
I've changed to Mail.app without problems a few months ago. But, recently, since 3 weeks ago, I receive my e-mails just fine, iCal and Address Book keep all sync. Everything is fine except when I delete an e-mail from my Exchange Account or even drag them to another folder, it doesn't work. It remains always at the Inbox Exchange Account.
I guess it started to do this after a software upgrade from Apple.
Anyone has a solution for this? I tried to rebuild the Mailbox and Delete and Create the account again, but doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

Mail / Calendar with Exchange Server 2007

Hi all,
We have a problem with Apple Mail and Calendar (Mountain Lion) connected to an Exchange Server 2007.
Apple Mail for no reason doesn't show the available data on the server. At first all goes right but after a few hours the data get corrupt. Folders disappear, mails aren't shown, ... The folders and mails are there in the server. I can check that with Outlook for Mac or on a collegues machine on Windows.
I tried:
- deleting the mail cache and mail data and restart
- removing the accounts and setting them up again
- creating a new user and trying mail in that user
None of those solved my problem.
Apple Calendar doesn't sync its data correctly. Example:
I create an event in calendar A. From that event I onvite calendar B to join the event. So far, so good. Everything just syncs fine. Then for some reason I delete the event from calendar A. In the server the event is still there. I checked in Outlook. This error is reproducable.
I tried:
- naming the user to <WORKGROUP>\<user>
- deleting the calendar cache and calendar data
None of those solved my problem.
Can anybody help me with this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
The configuration I think you have is MS Exchange on the back end fronted (to the Internet) by Outlook Web Access (OWA). As such, Blackberry Internet Service is the interface between OWA and the BB...there is no direct interaction between the BB and the Exchange server. As such, only email will reconcile wirelessly in this configuration. Calendar, contacts, and other items must be reconciled via USB/BT tether.
Now, that said, there is a free solution to do what you desire -- it's called BES Express. BES is BlackBerry Enterprise Solution and provides OTA sync of email, calendar, contacts, etc. Full BES is not free. But BES-X is. If you truly require full reconciliation of all things from Exchange, I recommend you research BES-X.
Good luck!

Mac calendar syncing problem with exchange server

Hi, I have been having problems syncing the calendar on my MacPro (late 2013, with OX Y Yosemite, even the earlier operating system) with my work calendar (exchange server). It keeps giving an exclamation mark and the error message is "There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server.".
Mail syncing on Mac with the same exchange server is working perfectly.
I also have iPhone and iPad, and never had issues syncing calendar nor with Mails.
I have tried to create a separate log in profile on my mac and attempt to sync calendar, it makes no difference.
Any advice?
Thanks Shu

There are several ways of exchange server recovery.
Reset the computer account for the lost server.
Install the proper operating system and name the new server with the same name as the lost server. Recovery won't succeed if the server on which recovery is being performed doesn't
have the same name as the lost server.
Or try FREE DEMO of
Recovery Toolbox for Exchange Server http://www.exchangeserver.recoverytoolbox.com
Seriously? Can you recover data or repair the EDB file if it isn't there at all? JET_errInvalidDatabase says database isn't present!

Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
Thanks for any ideas.

Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

I am getting sync problems with Exchange Server and local outlook. Error code is 18439. Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

I am using Outlook on my Imac, which is linked to the Windows Exchange Server. All off a sudden I keep receiving messages saying that the message Re: xxxx cannot be synchronized with the exchange server. When I delete the message from my local mail box, all is fine, but after a while another one pops up. The error code is 18493. Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong???
Thanks for your help already now!

Hello Wolfgang,
I get the same error, but I cannot figure it out too. I hope you or I get some responses back! I do not know why there isnt an edit feature in outlook to acknowledge the individual alarm so it does not alarm again!
