Connecting Apple Mail to Exchange Server

I just bought a new IMac and have been trying to pop to my university email account. It is on an exchange server. I have successfully popped to this account using Outlook, my IPhone and other email programs, but when I try to set up Mail (version 2.1.1), it cannot connect at the point where it says "Checking connection to POP server"....it always bombs out with a mesage that says "The POP server xxxx is not responding"
Given that I'm able to connect with other Mac products (IPhone) as well as non Mac products, this seems like some probelem specific to the OS system. Any suggestions on how to connect would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allen

I'm have an exchange account at a university which works ok. When setting up the account with the mail wizard, I choose exchange from the menu instead of POP. I've also read where users have chosen IMAP.
I'm not familiar with the iphone setup so I can't comment about why iphone POP would work with exchange server.
I know I had to use the university web site and follow their setup info for exchange server. They didn't have an apple version so I just applied what they suggested the best I could.

  • Trying to go from Entourage to Apple Mail using Exchange Server

    I am currently using Entourage and successfully connecting to my company's Exchange Server. I am sick of how Entourage wraps text and poorly handles HTML emails, and a host of other annoyances. However, I cannot for the life of me get Mail to work with my Exchange Server. The input fields on the account setup are not the same between Entourage and Mail. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Same goes for me. I know IMAP is not enabled. Entourage WORKS within my workplace network but mail.app will not. Entourage is OK using IP addresses like 10.1.1.30 where mail.app doesn't know what to do with them. Again, all this is within the workplace network. Outside the network, Entourage does not work and all I have to use in Outlook Web Access. I am fine with the inside-outside situation. I just would like a workaround to be able to use my mail.app within my workplace Exchange environment.

I need to to restart Apple mail several times daily. Any ideas or workaround?

  • TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

    My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
    I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
    Help please!

    I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
    In the meantime I have also tried:
    Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
    And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
    But please remember that:
    The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
    Then started working unexpectedly in December
    Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
    Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
    Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

  • Send mail to exchange server with TLS

    Hi,
    last month I enabled an oracle wallet TDE for creating encription for TS.
    Today, development team needs to send mail to exchange server with TLS.
    So I found this procedure on oracle support Doc ID 1323140.1
    My question is, can I use the same wallet to send mails from db?
    The Oracle Database  11.2.0.3
    Or I need to implement a different type of wallet with certificate?
    Is there, in this case,  a procedure step by step?
    I have never implemented that and I'm very confused....
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi, I have implemented a new wallet with certificates (for test SMTP.gmail.com) and i'm tryied to use this procedure:
    DECLARE
    mailhost VARCHAR2(64) := 'smtp.mydomain.it';
    sender VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
    recipient VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
    wallet_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'welcome1';
    wallet_loc VARCHAR2(64) := 'file:/etc/ORACLE/FRMSSYST/SMTP/';
    user_name VARCHAR2(64) := 'HDC021319';  -- alias for '[email protected]'
    user_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'password';  -- password of [email protected]
    mail_connection utl_smtp.connection;
    BEGIN
    -- Make a secure connection using the SSL port configured with your SMTP server
    -- Note: The sample code here uses the default of 465 but check your SMTP server settings
    mail_connection := utl_smtp.open_connection(
    host => mailhost,
    port => 25,
    wallet_path => wallet_loc,
    wallet_password => wallet_pwd,
    secure_connection_before_smtp => FALSE);
    -- Call the Auth procedure to authorized a user for access to the mail server
    -- Schemes should be set appropriatelty for your mail server
    -- See the UTL_SMTP documentation for a list of constants and meanings
    UTL_SMTP.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
    UTL_SMTP.STARTTLS(mail_connection);
    UTL_SMTP.AUTH(
    c => mail_connection,
    username => user_name,
    password => user_pwd,
    schemes => 'LOGIN');
    -- Set up and make the the basic smtp calls to send a test email
    utl_smtp.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
    utl_smtp.mail(mail_connection, sender);
    utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_connection, recipient);
    utl_smtp.open_data(mail_connection);
    utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This is a test message using SSL with SMTP.' || chr(13));
    utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This test requires an Oracle Wallet be properly configured.' || chr(13));
    utl_smtp.close_data(mail_connection);
    utl_smtp.quit(mail_connection);
    END;
    This procedure, works fine if I try to send an email to smtp.gmail.com (I tried first with gmail with appropriate certificates), but now, when I try to send an email to the local enterprise Exchange server  I get this error:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 503 5.5.2 Send hello first

  • Mail with exchange server problem.

    I keep getting a connection failed message asking me to chdeck the settings for my exchange account. I've done this many times and even managed to talk our administrator into checking the settings.
    The error message contains the information that the host xxxx server on port 143 failed. This port may be incorrect, but how do I chage it?
    I have managed to sync with my exchange account and all messages seem present, just can't send or recieve from mail, via exchange server.
    suggestions?????/

    I think the problem of intermittent connections to the mail server is that it may be caused by OSX's firewall, so what I did was to go to System preferences>sharing>Firewall, I opted for a New port, I selected "other" and named it Mail and under the TCP port number I input 25 or you may input whatever you use (ssl requires a different number) or you may do several to cover all the accounts and name them mail2, mail3 etc. if you are wondering what UDP is, its the following: is a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network, in other words if you are not sure avoid inputing a number here. So far Im trying it out for stability, I have read many articles and the solution may be as simple as this, its easy to try and non permanent, any one trying this solution please post any experiences. Thanks

  • 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

  • Unable to connect to the MS Exchange server after upgrading to ios 7.1.2

    I received a new iPad 4 through work.  Upgraded to ios 7.1.2, but now I'm not able to connect to the Exchange server.  Contacted IT through work, they have no idea how to correct it.  They say all of my settings are fine.  The error message says "Cannot Get Mail   The connection to the server failed."  Any thoughts?

    Appears to be a wifi connection problem. Did it work prior to the iOS update?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Since it's a company wifi, you won't be able to do many of these.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • 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!!!

    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,

  • Help: Apple Mail and Exchange - Internal/External servers issues

    Hi, I'm new here... coming from the dummy pc world...
    I am using Apple Mail in 10.7 connected to a MS Exchange 2007.  I first configured the exchange account while out of the office (the firm is overseas), and had the server with the IP address and SSL at 443 port.  Everything worked fine.
    Then I went to the office for meetings and had to recofigured the whole enchilada (the IP address would not work as internal server while in the network).  I input the internal server (a weird address "alm-srv06") and moved the IP address to the external server.  It also worked fine.
    But, when I came back (out of the office), the account is not working anymore.  Obviously, the internal server doesn't work and the external server is not kicking in.  I have even manually switched the servers, bringing the IP address to the internal server and keeping the wierd internal server address as the external server (so I can remember the config later on when I go back to the office overseas), but it is still not working...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

  • IPhone deletes mail on Exchange server - how to uncouple?

    Whenever I delete company mail on my iPhone the mail is deleted from the Exchange server.
    Where can I toggle this? I want the mail to stay visible from my Mac but be cleared off my iPhone.
    Many thanks.
    Edited to reflect it's an Exchange server, not IMAP.

    You cannot. Exchange servers operate just like IMAP - the mail lives on the server, and a local copy is synced/cached. If you make a change (like deleting a message) on one device, that change is reflected on the server (assuming you're connected to the internet), and thus on all devices.
    One option might be to create a different folder (in Mail on the Mac, for example, but on the Exchange account not local so the phone can access it) - call it Read Mail or something like that. Then, on the iPhone move emails from your Inbox to that folder instead of deleting them.

  • IOS Mail, OS X Mail, MS Exchange Server: Sent Mail Folder?

    I use iOS Mail and OS X Mail for my MS Exchange server account. The Sent mail folders are not in sync between the 2 apps. Messages sent from iPhone do not show up under "Sent" in OS X Mail, and messages sent from MacBook don't show up under "Sent" in iOS Mail. They're just not talking to each other. Any way to fix this?
    PS: previous similar questions were server-specific, and none refered to MS Exchange.

    I don't think this is resolved/resolvable in any straightforward way, though. Here's another thread:

  • Apple Mail stopped today; server suddenly redirects through Yahoo

    At about noon today my AppleMail stopped loading. Somehow the incoming server address got changed to redirect through Yahoo (I've never had a Yahoo acct), and the box is greyed-out so I can't change it. Frustrated. This has happened with three email addresses I use. Until a couple of hours ago the outgoing server was fine but now that won't even work. The computer has slowed down and is nearly unresponsive.

    Thanks much.
    I get a dialogue box that says Internet Account Preferences can't connect to the account. It asks for the password. When I type it in, I get a message Unable to Verify Account Name or Password. This happened on all three email addresses.  There was no "Advanced" option to select. (I'm able to access all of my mail through Verizon's website; it's just Apple Mail that is the problem. It is very slow in responding in any direction: click on a folder and it takes many seconds to open; try to open a new blank message, it takes several seconds and then the curser sticks or doesn't work). All other applications are working okay but considerably slower than earlier today.
    I made an appointment at the Genius Bar for tomorrow. Maybe this has something to do with Yosemite, but I downloaded that several days ago and it's been working well.
