Correct settings for adding Exchange account in Mail

I have successfully added an exchange account to my iPhone. However, to add the same account to Mail there different, additional settings that I cannot seem to get right.
the details I entered into my phone are as follows (please excuse the xxx's but I thought it best not to publish the full details of how to access my server!)
server: arexxx1.axxxring.com
domain: axxxring.local
username: daniel
password: xxxxxx
the settings that are required to add an exchange account to mail are:
incoming mail server
username
password
outlook web access server
outgoing mail server
can anyone advise me how the settings I entered into my iphone might apply to the fields in Mail or if it is even possible.
I am using os x 10.5.8 and exchange 2003.
Many thanks

Obviously you know your username and password so all you should require is the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses which you can obtain from the domain IT people who provide the Exchange account. I am not sure what the outlook web access server address is, but your IT people should know.

How do i delete all mail settings for an exchange account

I have an exchange account that is somehow wrong. By wrong I mean corrupted to the point that it will not login to the exchange server, and then after too many attempts it locks me out of the exchange account. Apple mail and MS Exchange.

Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility has the option to repair permissions, which should be given at least 2 hours to finish. Sometimes this fixes launching issues with Mail.
Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access lets you delete mail passwords which will be obvious what they are from the Keychain program. You may simply be able to repair the keychain which that program has the option of doing to fix your problem with Mail.
Users -> yourname -> Library -> Mail and Mail Downloads folders store all your locally stored e-mail.
Users -> yourname -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.mail.plist
stores all the account setting information (not the actual mail) so you have to re-establish the account.

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

How to End the Error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

i completed configure Exchange Account on my iPhone, but still show the error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
otherwise you need to follow
Signing in using application-specific passwords
The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
Cloud Print
Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
AdWords Editor
Sync for Google Chrome
Gmail Notifier
How to generate an application-specific password
Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password:
Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
Using application-specific passwords
When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
Enter your username.
Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

Cannot connect Exchange account to mail app in Mavericks

Hi all,
I recently bought a new macbook air 13" and am trying to set up my email. I have a university email account with microsoft outlook/exchange which I used exclusively through the Office 365 web portal in a web browser for the past 3 years since I could not get it to sync with outlook on my old PC either. Now I am trying to connect that Outlook account to the Mail app on my new macbook and am getting nowhere.
I input my email address and password - not recognized, even though it works perfectly on my iphone. The server is also not recognized. I get the error message "internet accounts couldnt log in to the exchange server autodiscover-s.outlook.com". I tried adding an "other" account in mail as well using the appropriate incoming and outgoing server addresses for office 365; no dice. Password is incorrect, outlook server is offline, etc etc etc.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to get my account to connect in mail. I know this has been a common problem but I was not able to find an exact solution. Please forgive any of my ignorance as this is my first Mac computer.

Peter: this is exactly what I have been doing, nothing is working. Still giving me an error that my password is wrong and it cannot reach the server.
Linc: I tried this and was able to force it through setup. When I connected to the internet, it gave me an error saying my password was wrong.
The password I am using is the one that goes along with my university email address that I use to login to the outlook web app along with my school .edu email address. Should I be using a different password for this exchange account?

Completely delete Exchange account from Mail client on Mac

I'm having a problem with a several e-mail messages in my Mail client. These messages seem "stuck" in that whenever I try to delete these messages, I get an error message in Mail that says:
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — Exchange”.
I named the account Exchange. These messages are NOT on my Exchange mail server anymore - I also access my mail from an Outlook client as well and these "stuck" messages do not appear in Outlook which is pulling directly from Exchange.
My first attempt to resolve was to delete the account from the Mail client and set it up again. All of the folders and e-mail messages re-appeared almost instantly so it obviously didn't go out to the Exchange server and pull down over 100K e-mail messages in 30 seconds.
Then I spoke to AppleCare. They directed me to the Library to delete a subfolder in the Mail folder that appeared to contain the messages. When I emptied the Trash, it appeared that the 100K messages were being deleted. I went to Mail to setup the account again. Again, the messages reappeared quickly as before and the problem messages were still there as if they never were deleted.
So now I'm looking for a way to completely the Exchange account and all of its local data from Mail. I want the Mail client to start from scratch and go out to the Exchange server to get the data like the account had never been setup on this Mac before. I'd also opt for a fresh install of Mail but I have a MBA 11 so I don't have OS media or a DVD drive.
Somewhere Mail is clealry caching info on that account. It's apparent when I've deleted the account and then re-opened Mail to set it back up the first time. Whenever the dialog box appears, it remembers my Exchange e-mail account information in the field so it's obviously pulling that information from somewhere locally on the Mac, not from the server.

As you say, removing the Exchange account on Mail really doesn't delete it. It's caching something because of how quickly it finds the folders etc. if you add the account again.
I was having a lot of very strange problems with Mail/Contacts/Calendar and certainly a new user I set up from scratch worked with Mail etc. straight away. I didn't test it for days but within seconds it pulled down all the correct emails and the number of unread tallied with my iPhone which was one of the annoying problems I was having.
One of the things I read elsewhere is how useful doing a Mailbox/Rebuild from within Mail is. I just tried it now on my existing user name and it certainly seems to have helped. It immediately refreshed the Inbox and had it accurate. However, despite having it set to "1 min checking for new mail" after several mins it seems to have hung again and isn't refreshing.
Mail for OSX has caused me a million more problems that for iOS which just works every time. I don't see how Apple can make it work so smoothly on iOS and give loads of problems on OSX.
Have you tried the Mailbox/Rebuild?

Anyone have the correct settings for iCloud in Outlook 2011 with OS X 10.7.2 ?

I have tried setting up iCloud in my outlook 2011 on my iMac. I get an error "[AUTHENTICATION FAILED] Authentication failed] Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect.
I have tried several posted settings, for example:
Incoming Server: imap.mail.me.com
Checked Use SSL
Port 993
Outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com
Checked Overrise default port
Checked Use SSL
Port 587
I have also tried adding p99- in front of both server names, still didn't work.
Anyone have a solution?

Just an FYI Julian, Unfortunately in that document MicroSoft have given the Mobile Me server addresses so it doesn't work with iCloud.
If you substitute iCloud server addresses (imap.mail.me.com etc) these instructions work.

Hi StuNYC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

An Exchange account is an e-mail account serviced my a Microsft Exchange server... Typically a corporate e-mail account. It used to be possible to configure a free gmail account as an Exchange account, but it is no longer possible to set one up that way.

TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
hope this helps.

Knowing who is your email provider would be a good starting point.
Your ISP?
One of the big free providers? e.g. googlemail, live mail/outlook.com/hotmail, yahoo, gmx/1and1?
Your webhost?
