Can't Delete or Move Mail for Exchange Account

I am using Mail to connect to my work e-mail.  It's an Exchange account.  Every time I try to move an e-mail I get: "messages could not be moved to the mailbox XXX".  If I try and delete an e-mail message I get "messages could not be moved to the mailbox Trash".  If I click on the question mark on the pop-up dialog, I get :
The selected topic is currently unavailable.
The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
The lack of detailed error message doesn't allow me to send a detailed query to our IT support team.  I don't see how they can help me when I have no details about the error.
I didn't get this error before I upgraded to Lion.  Anyone having similar problems?  Is there a way to get better error messages?

I have the same problem regularly and also don't know how Mail can recover from this situation. One way I figured out is to delete the local Exchange folder when Mail is not running. If you then start Mail again it automatically rereads your whole mailbox from the server. But only remove the Exchange mailbox if you have any others .
You can find it at <user>/Library/Mail/
Actually, I have a folder V2 there and my exchange folder is inside this one.
Hope that helps for a quick fix.
Nevertheless, I'm also interested in a "user friendly" solution. It seems that Mail struggles at some points and then dos not resync with the exchange server again. Don't know why, because I thought that the Exchange server is the leading instance for that mailbox. By the way, I had this problem also with Snow Leopard.

  • Deleting Mail For Exchange Account from Symbian^3

    Since buying my C7, I have been playing with the email settings to try and set up the correct account information that works best for my phone. In doing so I have tried both imap and mail for exchange. In the end I plumped for GMAIL imap and deleted all other accounts. Recently I have needed to set up a mail for exchange account again and when I tried to create a new account it confirmed that I could only set up one such account and that I should delete the other.
    I looked at my account list but there was only my IMAP Gmail account. I tried switching the phone off and then on again and the email app then confirmed that there was a mail for exchange account. When I tried to view the account settings or make changes it confirmed that it was not possible to access the account at this time. 
    I tried deleting the account but although it lets me do this, when I try to add a new mail for exchange account I get the same message as per above and the account is recreated when I next switch off / on?
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this......or will I need to factory reset?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have managed to sort this now. Obviously one of my previous mail for exchange settings had become corrupted and could then not be updated. To fix the problem I downloaded the Nokia configurator tool (available on the downloads section of this site) and got it to read my settings on the phone. I then unticked everything apart from the mail for exchange settings and manually entered them in the tool. I then sent these settings back to the phone and rebooted the phone. The mail for exchange account then appeared although strangely none of the settings I entered had been sent, but I could then edit the account and get it working. I then deleted the account again on the phone and this completed successfully and would allow me to re-add......phew.
    I just need PR1.2 so that I can use mail for exchange lol.

  • C6-00 mail for Exchange account consumes a lot of ...

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to set up push mail for my gmail account. I have tried RoadSync application and built-in 'Mail for Exchange' account in my phone. While RoadSync after one hour of instance connection consumes about 100kB of transfer built-in account consumes mega bytes of transfer. It activates connection every 10-20 sec and send and receive data. In both cases I didn't receive any new message.
    Does anyone of you has the same problem and can explain me why my phone is updating all the time? Push mail suppose to receive data only when new email is on my inbox, not all the time. Do you know how to reduce this data consumption? I don't care if my phone reads a lot of data because I have unlimited Internet but it also takes a lot of battery and that's my major problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards,
    JaCKubi

    I had this same problem with my C6-00 and my older E71. I could not get GMail to successfully syncronise using Nokia Mail for Exchange.
    I ended up purchasing another client from the Ovi Store (RoadSync) which works perfectly.
    I am not pleased that Nokia's client doesn't work with my service, but the RoadSync client was quite cheap (US$6.60) and hasn't failed me once.

  • Is viewing Mail for Exchange account in Nokia Mess...

    I've got a XM5530 with the latest firmware installed. I've downloaded what i thought was the latest version of Mail for Exchange (from the SW update on the phone) v.2.09(208). I saw a v3 available on Ovi.com, but when I downloaded and installed, it still says v2.09(208) on my phone.
    My version of Nokia Messaging is also the latest version I can find (10.02(4)).
    Both are working fine independantly, but I want to have my Mail for Exchange account in my Nokia Messaging. Is this possible???
    I saw online that the latest version of Mail for Exchange supports Nokia Messaging, and when you set up a new email account you get an option to select an 'Exchange' account. But, I don't get this. All I get is enter fields for 'email address' & 'password' which I enter, but it does not recognise my details. (I get no 'exchange' option).
    Is this only available on certain handsets. Can I do it on my 5530??
    Please help

    Hello,
    Mail for Exchange 3.0 is not (yet?) supported on the 5530.
    I am also waiting, does anyone know if Nokia plans to release Mfe 3.0 for  the 5530 ??? Sure hope so, for the moment  I am using 2.9 but the support for subfolders and HTML would be a huge benefit!!
    Regards,
    Filip.

  • Why can't I receive incoming mail for hotmail account?

    I have just setup my hotmail account for iMac. I can sent out mail from this hotmail account, but I cannot receive incoming. My hotmail server is set to : incoming - pop3.live.com & outgoing - smtp.live.com.

    I can send mail, just can't receive mail.
    The server end of this mail is Exchange Server, but gmail or other POP account don't have this problem.
    I use Connect Doctor to check, it shows OK for POP and SMTP.
    Use IMAP to access this mail account, It works fine.
    Is it the problem for NTLM authentication problem?

  • IOS 8.12 Apple Mail for Exchange Account Deletes Message from Server

    Both my computers are set to leave Exchange emails on the server, but I can't find how to set this on my iPhone. So, if I happen to first open a message on my phone, it's no longer available when I open Apple Mail on either of my computers. I need the messages on my iMac and MacBook Pro--not just on my iPhone. How can I change the settings on my iPhone so that Exchange doesn’t delete messages once they're downloaded to the phone? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer. --Bill

    Thanks, Glenn. I get as far as the Advanced Settings screen, and there are 3 items for choices:
    • Use SLL - on
    • Move Discarded Messages into:
      Deleted Mailbox - check
      Archive Mailbox - not checked
    • S/MIME
      S/MIME - off
    I don't see how I can choose to NOT delete messages. (I'm assuming that the Move Discarded Messages into: Deleted Mailbox is a setting to tell iOS 8 what to do with a message that I choose to delete from my iPhone.)
    Any further guidance?
    thanks,
    Bill

  • Problem with mail for exchange after update on E72...

    Hi everyone,
      I updated Nokia E-mail to ver 3.9 on E72. Now I am facing  a problem with mail for exchange. I have configured gmail on mail for exchange. I recieve a warning that "unable to sync contact administrator if problem persist". It started to pop up just after the update was over and is very frustrating. Even previously i used to recieve mails instantly but now it generally takes half an hour for me to recieve them. I deleted and created mail for exchange several times but to no avail.
    Also i am not able to automatically recieve mails other emails which i have configured. every time I have to manually download them everytime.
    Can anybody suggest a way out.
    Thanks

    It could be a problem if you're using your network's connections...
    I was on a Pay & Go tariff with o2 some time ago, and needed secure connections for various things, o2 told me they didn't provide secure connections on Pay & Go tariffs...
    Could be worth checking with them to make sure it's supported.

  • Removing mail for exchange but keeping contacts

    Is there any way to remove my Mail for Exchange account, but keep the contacts?
    Everytime I remove the mail for exchange account, the contacts get deleted, but I want them to stay on the phone.
    If not, I have VCards of the contacts, can I import those?  I can't seem to be able to do this at all.

  • N9 after PR 1.2 update - Mail for Exchange is sync...

    I have a problem with my N9 Meego after 1.2 update. I have mail for exchange account talking with exchange 2010 server and sync works just just fine with calendar and e-mail. Contacts on otherhand doens`t work. It says its bringing contact like 78 from mail for exchange but when its done you can`t see any.
    i have done my account again many times but still contacts aren`t working. Should I do some hardreset but does that uninstall PR 1.2 update?
    Help is needed or any ideas what could be done?
    -mika

    Hey mate,  As far as I am aware there is no going back from PR 1.2, so you could try hardreset without concern of loosing this update.  Keep in mind you are likely to lose data, so make sure you back it up first.
    I am sure of this, as I have tried to go back to PR 1.1 to get my mail exchange to work and even with trying to flash the device "downgrade disallowed" comes up and prevents me getting rid of the PR 1.2
    You are luckier than me, I can't get mail, calender or contacts.  I am so annoyed that I accepted the update.  I am hoping that Nokia take note of this and fix the mail exchange in a new update

  • Mail for Exchange, Hotmail and Push Mail

    Hi
    I have set up a mail for exchange account on my Nokia E72. I am using hotmail as my mail provider. Everything works pretty fine. My mails and contacts get synchronzized with the phone.
    Now, i want to use push mail to instantly receive mails. I am not able to get this feature running. In the options for the synchronization i've selecte under peak days every day of the week. Peak time i from 6:00-22:00 and sync plan is always active.
    When i am sending an email to my hotmail account (within peak time) i don't get a push mail, not even after lots of minutes or hours. I have to go in my mailbox and manually press "send and receive" to get my new mails.
    How can i get push mail on my E72 for my hotmail account? Many thanks in advance.
    regards,
    MrGonzo

    seems like there are no Exchange server administrators in the forum, retro... sorry. I would love to help, though, but I'm just another MfE user.

  • C5 03- Mail for Exchange- Google Calendar

    I dont see "Mail for Exchange" anywhere in my c5 03 phone.  I saw in[1] that it is installed automatically when email is set up.  I did that, still I dont see Mail for Exchange and no option to synch my google calendar.  I read in [2]  that  I can "select Mail for Exchange when the set up procedure ask to chose the protocol ".  I tried again with another email address and did not see this option.  Is it because I have already set up a gmail account? Do I need to uninstall it ( if so how?). Can anyone tell me ( step-by-step instructions) what I should do to see/sync my google calendar in my phone.

    Hi saigal99, 
    Welcome to Nokia discussions board! 
    To set up a mail for exchange account on your Nokia C5-03, please go to Menu > Messaging > Options > Settings > E-mail > Mailboxes > Options > New Mailbox. After entering your e-mail address and password you should have the option "Mail for Exch.". Do you have this option? If not, which choices are displayed? 
    If you cannot find the Mail for Exchange option this way, please update your device or reinstall the software via Nokia Suite. 
    Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

  • E71, mail for exchange, emails not being deleted

    Hello, I have an E71 on which I have configured mfE to sync with my company's exchange server. I've set emails to sync the last 3 days and calendar entries last 2 weeks. However, emails and calendar entries which are older than 3 days/2 weeks are not deleted from the phone. It keeps everything until finally it stops syncing and gives me a "system error, please try later". I'm thinking it is because the device becomes full or something like that. Doing a full resync resolves the problem, although it would be nice to have it working properly.

    Hi az1987,

  • N8 Mail for Exchange (can not send mails)

    Hi guys,
    I just got my new Nokia N8. I already setup Mail for Exchange via IMAP to sync the mails, contacts and the calendar of my private mailbox.
    Everything runs alright. But I can not send mails via Mail for Exchange. If I push on "New Mail" the program say the command can not be executed and breaks down.
    Does someone know how to fix that problem?
     Thanks from Liechtenstein.
    Phil

    Hi,
    I also had problems with unable to send emails.
    I was getting error messages in the Mail for Exchange (MfE) log files such as
    Setting DISK FULL status to false
    Error occurred during sending mail. Setting status to waiting for reconnect
    HTTP failure while sending messages.
    I figured out a work around. The problem seemed to be with the certificate.
    I ended up deleting the certificate and then only selecting "Accept this time only" which made everything work.
    I am using a Nokia 5800.
    To delete a certificate goto
    Setting > Phone > Phone mgmt > Security > Certificate Management > Trusted site certificates
    find the offending certificate and delete it.
    The next time I tried to synchronize my emails with Mail for Exchange, I was asked to select whether to accept the certificate... press the option button.
    Then select "accept this time only".
    After doing that, the emails in the outbox were sent properly.
    I have to figure out how to get this to work permanently, but for the moment it was a quick fix.
    [I hope this helps. I tried to be as descriptive as possible and write with correct spelling so that search engines will collect it.]
