Can't sync IMAP inbox with Exchange Server 2003

Since Lion doesn't work with Exchange Server 2003, I set up an IMAP account in Outlook 2011 via Davmail for myself and a colleague on our laptops. This has worked for my e-mail account (syncs on multiple computers, including one running Exchange directly, and with my iPad's mail client), but not for my colleague.
For some reason, my colleague's inbox receives pushes from the server, but won't send back changes made in Outlook. Messages that have been read remain unread; deleted e-mails go into what is purportedly the server's trash in Outlook 2011, but remain in the inbox on the server. Changes made on the IMAP on the laptop also don't sync to my colleague's iPhone.
Our configuration is the same.
Any ideas? Could it be on the server side?
Thanks!

I feel your pain. I also am a lone Mac user in an entire building full of PC robots, and the IT people haven't got a clue.
I've been trying to get Mac mail working with the Exchange server here, but it's just not happening. I've managed to get Entourage working though, which is far from ideal but significantly better than the web-based version of Outlook that I'd been having to use up till now.
For entourage, then yes - the incoming and outgoing servers are the same. You may need to ask your recalcitrant IT people which port numbers to use, but give it a whirl anyway.
Best of luck,

How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's. We are running outlook and exchange server. My email works fine. My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky. The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server. What is the deal with this? Is there a work-around?

Let me fill in some blanks. I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical. My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server. So here is the issue:
a. It first surfaced when we got iphones. Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
b. THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical). Everything works EXCEPT addressbook. Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
So my question is really this: I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship. I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices. It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?

Portal integration with Exchange server 2003 issues.

Hello,
We are using NW04s EP 7.0 SP16 and Exchange server 2003. We are trying to perform OWA and Groupware integration. Both the servers are in the same domain.
I have followed all the steps in the notes and documents available there in SDN. There are few issues:
1) The latest KerbMap filter has been configured in Exchange backend server. SAP note 785343 says that the exchange frontend server needs to be configured for anonymous authentication to enable pass-through authentication. But doing this breaks the form based authentication in exchange server, and it also poses security risk when the backend exchange server is behind the firewall. How do we enable pass-through authentication so that the exchange frontend passes the mysapsso2 cookie to the exchange backend server?
2) When I try to create an appointment or try to view the appointments, it gives an error message saying " No logon data found for system Exchange". The Exchange system has been configured for SAP Logon Ticket, and the user mapping fields were left empty. Why should it prompt for user mapping when the logon method is "SAP Logon Ticket"?
There are many documents out there, but none is the latest with clear steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks,
~Yasin

As far as I remember, when Exchange 2003 is installed on a Domain Controller, it uses the local DC as a GC. You need to set back the 2003 DC as GC and restart it.
I believe, you are aware that demoting/promoting a DC with Exchange server on it is not supported by MS. The best approach is to:
Introduce an Exchange 2010 member server
Move all resources from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010
Decommission Exchange 2003
Demote the 2003 DC

Sync of reminders with Exchange server fails

I can't synchronize my OS X Reminders with my Exchange server. I get the following message in Calendar when syncing :
Calendar can't refresh reminders in the calendar "Tasks"
And in the OS X Console, I see these 2 messages (I guess the first one is the root cause of the issue, the second one is just a notification that the sync failed ):
02.03.14 14:24:31.810 CalendarAgent[210]: -[SOAPParser:0x7fd30899aae0 parser:didStartElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:attributes:] Type not found in EWSTaskRecurrenceType for WeeklyRegeneration (t:WeeklyRegeneration)
02.03.14 14:24:31.812 CalendarAgent[210]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.exchange] [Exchange error Calendar can’t refresh reminders in the calendar “Tasks”. There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server. (Error Domain=SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain Code=-997 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)")]
I have had this problem for a few months, and it still exists with 10.9.2 ; the sync used to work sometimes, but not anymore.
I guess the error comes from one reminder on the server which has complex recurrence rule.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Syncing iPhone 4 with Exchange Server

Is there any way to synch an iPhone 4 with an Exchange Server contact list and calendar without overwriting all iPhone contacts and calendar entries. In other words, "Can they be merged rather than overwritten?"

Thanks Kilted Tim,
After an update of iTunes and the iOS, a good backup, and a leap of faith, I figured it out earlier this morning.
I had a bad experience when I first got my phone. I did the same thing, syncing with the exchange server and it overwrote all of my contacts and calendar items. It was a long three months trying to rebuild them all. I'm glad to see this option was opened to users choice.

IPHONE 4 with Verizon wont sync with Exchange server 2003

I am trying to sync my VZ Iphone 4 with my exchange server at work. I have updated my account to have corporate email, I have done troubleshooting and tested my credentials on another phone (att) but NOTHING works. I have the white IPhone..(the color shouldnt matter!) but nothing is working...help....is it just verizon?

Without details, like any errors that occur, it is almost impossible to offer suggestions.

Losing connection with Exchange Server (2003)

The cause of losing the connection is me disabling the Users Accounts in our MS Domain for Maintenance on the Network.
I assume there must be a certain amount of time where the iPhone trys to connect to the exchange server and then time's out or something like that.
Too get the connection back is usually a restart, turn off on on wifi or airplane mode or reenter the account password.
Any ideas on how I can still disable the user accounts and not have the iPhone's lose their connection or time out?

I don't think this is possible. I use Exchange server at work, so I can tell you what it will do:
- You can do "over the air" IMAP e-mail to your exchange server (if your IT dept supports it)
- You can desktop sync your appointments and edit the from the phone (Edit from phone means view notes, times, etc -- you cannot change attendees, etc.)

Can't connect to my work exchange server 2003

I am one of the only people in my office with a Mac and my IT dept. refuses to assist me. Therefore, I am forced to try to resolve issues myself (which is not working out).
I have successfully sent mail through the company's outgoing mail server, but I cannot connect to the incoming mail server to receive my messages.
On a side note: I have entourage 2004 running successfully with no problems other than the program is crippled compared to outlook on windows. I want to run Apple's Mail program but can't get working, and I'm sick of running Outlook through Parallels.
To configure Outlook and Entourage all I need to put in is the exchange server path (and login info) and it configures the rest. So how do I know what the outgoing and incoming paths are for Apple Mail? Are they the same? I right now I have both the incoming and the outgoing set up with the same exchange server paths hwmxmsg05.hotels.ad.**.com.
Any Ideas? Another post mentioned make sure certain things are configured on the server side? What would they be as I need to relay them to someone who knows.
Thanks!!!

Iphone does not work with exchange server 2003

keeps saying server not found....

You have to activate Exchange ActiveSync for each user's mobile device. This is done by the IT folks in the back office.

Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

Hi All,
My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
Could anyone help me?
Thanks,

Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
ERROR Says:
Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
!!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

KB953804 for delegatesentitemsstyle in Outlook 2003 in combination with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 not working.

KB953804 Full title "Hotfix for An e-mail message does not appear in a user's mailbox if the e-mail message was sent on behalf of the user by a delegate in Outlook 2003."
We have this working for ok Outlook 2003 SP3 in combination with Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Now for mailboxes that are moved to our new Exchange 2010 environment the hotfix stopped working. The sent items get stuck in the outbox of the delegate instead
of moving to the user in whose name the mail was sent. It does not matter if the user mailbox is on 2003 or 2010 as long as the delegated user is on Exchange 2010 SP1 it fails. We use Outlook 2003 SP3 in online mode. Does anyone know how to fix this
or maybe someone knows an alternative way to move the mails to the sent items with Exchange2010 SP1.

Hi,
I'd like to know how did you set "send on behalf",from outlook give delegation permission or from Exchange Server give "send as" right?
Please try to use get-adpermission to verify if the user has "send as" right.
Manage Send As Permissions for a Mailbox
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx
Note: After you grant send as right, please try to restart Microsoft Information Store.
By the way, do you receive any NDR or error information when you send on behalf of others?

ICal and Exchange Server 2003

Hello from Barcelona,
I am a new mac user trying to sync iCal with Exchange Server 2003. I have followed all instructions regarding domain, user name, password and URL address but it does not work. The last answer received was "account info not found" & "“HTTP/1.1 440 Login Timeout”. Incredible but when using the program AddressX (downloaded from internet) with the above mentioned configuration...it works and can get my company's global book address.
Just to make sure I am following all "mac" rules. What I am using is:
Domain/UserName
Password
https://company.com/exchange/User.Name
Am I missing any important thing? Please help!!
Thanks in advanced!!

There are several discussions regarding this same topic on the Apple forums and elsewhere. None of them have solved the problem. This seems to be an issue that has been around for a long time but never addressed by Apple or Microsoft. From some simple tests that I have done, it appears the the Microsoft Exchange Server is not interpreting the iCal event (.ics extension) properly. I have seen discussions saying that Apple is not formatting the event properly or is using a newer standard that MS Exchange does not support. I believe it is the later as I can make the event work properly without any software changes but I have to do some steps manually. Here is how I can make it work and why I believe something is wrong in MS Exchange:
- create event in iCal and add an Outlook user
- send the event/email (ignore this email on the PC as it does not work)
- open the just sent email and save the attached iCal event
- find the saved iCal event and add a letter to the extension such as ".icss"
- (Note: I don't know if there is a way to rename an attachment already in a message)
- attach this renamed event to a new message and send it to the Outlook user
- the Outlook user must open the message, save the attachment and rename it back to ".ics"
- double clicking / opening this renamed file now works perfectly in Outlook
Now, if I could only automate some of these steps on the Mac before I send the message would be very helpful. This is not a great solution but I use it for events that I want to sync between my home Mac and my office PC.
Because the renamed attachment (.icss) works through Exchange (by ignoring it), I am lead to believe that MS Exchange will interpret an ".ics" extension and mess up the handling of it for some reason. Microsoft is never one to follow standards very carefully or adopt them very quickly. Our company is using Exchange 2003 so maybe that is part of the problem as it is an older version.

Iphone 3G, Exchange Server 2003 and NOT sending "Read Mail" receipts

I have a 3G Iphone that syncs with Exchange Server 2003. I do NOT want people to see when I read or delete their emails so I have my Outlook account set up that way. It works from my desktop, however, my Iphone still triggers notifications saying whether I read a message or deleted without reading. I haven't found a way to change this on the phone - has anyone else?
Sorry to repost this question, but the first back in March never got any replies, so support suggested I try again. Thanks!

Iphone not syncing anymore with exchange server

my Iphone has worked perfectely for a few months with exchange server for synchronising agenda's and email receiving and sending out via exchange....
Since a few days not working anymore, everytime info wrong pasword. All settings are correct, what could be the problem. My Iphone receives direct ema-ils, works on internet...and can sentout, my mobile me works perfect, only not the exchange server is not working anymore.
please help.

I assume from what you posted that you mean the user has created contacts in the "default" address book instead of in their Exchange address book.
If that's the case, then can not be "moved" to the Exchange address book. The user will have to export them from whatever contact manager they are syncing that particular contact list with and import them using their Outlook client, or they will have to re-enter them in the correct address book.
