Can't set up Mail with Exchange

Searching has shown that there seem to be a lot of problems with Exchange and Mail, but I wanted to check and see if there's anything else I can do to fix this. My Exchange server works fine with the iPhone and with Entourage, but with Mail it will never sync. I don't want Exchange calendar and contacts, just e-mail. I'm not sure if I'm setting it up wrong - there doesn't seem to be a place to put the domain name? Could that be a problem, or is this just a hopeless quest? I have heard that Snow Leopard should support Exchange, so maybe I will just wait it out. I'm just trying to get switched away from Entourage altogether and I don't like having to use two different e-mail programs. It just seems odd that it works so easily and well on the iPhone but not on a Mac.

Same problem here. I've used Mail with Exchange for quite sometime but recently I can't send using the SMTP server. I can receive and even send to other email addresses on my Exchange network. But not to the outside world. Tried every configuration and authentication possible. Now I read (here in the discussions) that Mail 3.x (I'm using 3.6) is very unreliable with Exchange. I think we are desperately awaiting Snow Leopard. I will certainly not install Entourage on my Mac again that's for sure. I'm resorting to web access for my Exchange folders now.
Anyone have any solution to this?

  • Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

    I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
    Thanks!
    -Ryan

    Hi Ryan
    Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

  • How can I manage two boxes with exchange mail clie...

    I have two mail boxes and I need to update it from my nokia N8.
    one is a company's business and works with exchane server, the other is hotmail.
    I need to sync with mail for exchange, but once set up the company, if I try to insert a new exchange box with the default client replies that I have already reached the maximum number of boxes exchange.
    Is there a way to synchronize them both (of course with exchange)?
    I tried to synchronize with hotmail PoP / IMAP but it is a disaster. I do not have all the folders, and then I can not sync contacts and calendar.

    Hi aningro,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    You can add only one Mail for Exchange mailbox on Nokia N8. This is by design and unfortunately cannot be changed. The workaround is to use IMAP, like you mentioned, and it should be possible to synchronise your folders even over IMAP.
    To synchronise subfolders perform the following steps:
    Go to Mail.
    Open your Inbox.
    Tap the Inbox on the top of the screen.
    Swipe the list and select Folders, and Folder list opens.
    Select the folder you would like to sync.
    Also, please see this thread for more information on IMAP folder synchronisation.
    Hope this helps,
    Puigchild

  • Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

    Hey everyone,
    Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
    We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
    Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
    Example serup of what we have done:
    Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
    The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
    Phone crashes?
    Any ideas whats going on?

    Hi Jim,
    Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010. 
    If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
    If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
    When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

  • Having trouble setting up Mail with a POP account

    I am trying to set up Mail with my Universities webmail service, and according to their tech page I need to set it to POP. I also made sure that I have the incoming and outgoing mail servers correct, and i've made certain that I am entering my username and password correctly. But when it loads and trys to get my mail it says that the password I supplied is incorrect, but I know that's not true. I am absolutley sure that both the username and password are entered correctly.
    Does anybody know how I might fix this?
    p.s. my girlfriend is having the exact same problem, so it isn't just me entering something wrong

    I know you said the usernames/passwords are correct but, (if you can), login via webmail using those same strings, see if that works.
    Write the text to a note and copy and paste from there so you are sure you've not input something wrongly.
    Failing that do a quick keychain first aid too.
    If that don't work then I'm out of ideas, (for now at least).

    Are you set up for POP or IMAP? For POP, that's the normal behavior. For IMAP, try making sure you have the synchronize mail folders option selected. The is under Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Advanced.

  • Thunderbird can download and send mail with Cox POP Mail, Mail cannot?

    I have Thunderbird and Mail installed.
    I can download and send mail with Thunderbird.
    I can't even set-up an account with Mail because it cannot find the POP Mail server.
    I have Firewall on with ports 25, 110 and 587 open.
    This really seems strange that I can use Thunderbird to set up and use POP Mail access to Cox, but not Mail.
    My servers are:
    pop.central.cox.net
    smtp.central.cox.net
    I've followed the steps on Cox's support web site, no success.
    I've already called Cox, they're clueless.
    Thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    --Todd

    Hi Todd,
    Well since Tbird works, we can rule out lots of things.
    Mail cannot find the POP server
    You are using the Welcome to Mail assistant to do this, and when you type in your incoming mail server info it spins the gear a bit, gives an error, and says that if you continue Mail may not work -- yes? What does the error say specifically?
    No disrespect at all, but the most likely problem is a typo somewhere / mis-specified username. Please go 'round once more.
    Good luck,
    John

    HI,
    If you have Free sites with creative cloud, then these sites do not allow you to host your email with BC. You can either upgrade your website to higher site plan, or chose one of the alternative email host, given in the following link

    A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

    I am not sure I understand you question, but if you are attempting to set up an iCloud email account, you can start in System Preferences >  iCloud > Account Details. Establishing the details of your iCloud (a.k.a. Apple) ID there automatically creates the account in Mail

  • Can't set up mail (cox)

    OK, this is weird. I found another similar thread, but not enough information to help me figure this out. I tried cox as well, but they don't know a thing about Macs, so they use it as an out and don't help.
    I went to set up mail, with my cox west account that I have on my iMac. I entered the correct settings, and then a certificate came up that didn't match, and it asked me if I wanted to trust it. It's origins are from Africa, and it says spop instead of pop at the beginning.
    That thread said to turn off SSL, and I couldn't open preferences until I trusted that certificate, so I did, then turned it off and tried to re enter the account. It just starts over with my name already there, and the password, and the whole things starts over again, with that certificate. Though it loaded my account, I was unable to send emails, because it's on the wrong server port. I called cox, and got the one it's supposed to be, but still no go.
    As of now, I deleted the account again. Not sure what to do. Cox says call Apple. Not sure if they'll know. Anyone have this problem?
