Difference between IMAP and "Exchange" account in mail?

Hi,
I'm using a Hosted Exchange 2007 account with Entourage 2004 actually. Now I want to try using Mail as an alternative application. As the server offers IMAP I could setup a new IMAP account in Mail and receive my Mails from Exchange. But Mail offers an "Exchange" account additionally. Can anyone explain me the difference between theese two Mail accounts? Is one better, faster or whatever?
Best regards,
Heiko

Exchange uses a proprietary mail exchange protocol, while imap is standard. You can use a lot of different mail clients on different platforms with imap, and you don't have to worry about synchronization or conflicts since its server based. When you establish an imap connection, though, you stay connected to the server, so it's a relatively high resource user. Exchange is more verbose, and although its fundamentally server based using different exchange clients from different places doesn't synchronize well. Exchange will also update your outlook calendar, while imap will not. If it's just for mail, I vastly prefer imap.

What is the difference between IMAP and Exchange IMAP account type?

At the server side there is Exchange 2007, but I don't want to use that as there is no possibility to assign mailboxes for sent mail, so which type of account should I set - IMAP or Exchange IMAP? What is the difference between the two?

Difference between Gmail and Exchange when setting up email

Hi all,
When adding my Gmail email details in Settings in iOS7 (Via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account) I’m presented with the options to use Exchange or Google.
I know back in the early days of the iOS it was always preferable to use Exchange as it synced everything on your phone perfectly (mail, contacts, calendar) but it seems that now the Google option is just as good…?
Other than the capability to push emails to my device (a function that I don't use anyway), is there any other difference between the Exchange and Google options when setting up email?
Thanks,
David

I've tested it out on my iOS7 5s; the calendar and contact syncing seems to work absolutely fine though?
This was in reference to the Google option. It syncs mail, calendar, contacts and notes all absolutely fine as far as I can see - I wanted to check I wasn't missing anything.
Any need to get narky there?

Difference between recon and subledger accounts

Hi
what is the difference between subledger account and reconciliation account.
I heard the below stmts, and i am littel confused, can some one explain me in more detail, what it means.
The vendor number is also used as subledger number in financial accounting,
In subledger accounting the total liabilities are updated per vendor.
Recon accountis a GL account which maps companies liabilities towards several vendors in the GL accounts.
When an invoice is done for a vendor, the recon accountmay be updated but how does the system, but how the system know exact amount for one specific vendor, when the recon account is for several vendors.
Thanks.

Hi,
When you are posting to a vendor, then entries will go and sit in vendor account. You can view the vendor balances in transaction code FBL1N. Parallelly, what system will do it will post to a reconciliation account which is attached to a vendor.
Let us take a business scenario, you do not have any foreign vendors and all are local vendors, hence you have created a single reconciliation account 200000 and attached this to all vendors.
=========================================================================
Vendor 1 - Balance - GBP 10
Vendor 2 - Balance - GBP 20
Vendor 3 - Balance - GBP 30
At the same time if you see the balance of GL Account 200000 in FS10N - it will be 60 (10 + 20 + 30)
Let us take another example, you have foreign vendors as well as local vendors. Reconciliation account for local vendors is 200000 and foreign vendors it is 210000
==========================================================================
Vendor 1 - Assigned with reconciliation account 200000 - Balance - GBP 15
Vendor 2 - Assigned with reconciliation account 200000 - Balance - GBP 25
Vendor 3 - Assigned with reconciliation account 200000 - Balance - GBP 10
At the same time if you see the balance of GL Account 200000 in FS10N - it will be 50 (15 + 25 + 10)
Vendor 4 - Assigned with reconciliation account 210000 - Balance - GBP 32
Vendor 5 - Assigned with reconciliation account 210000 - Balance - GBP 22
If you see the balance of GL Account 210000 in FS10N - it will be 54 (32 + 22)
Meaning that whatever is being posted to Sub-Ledger Accounts (for examples vendors or customers) will always be in sync with General Ledger Accounting with the help of RECONCILIATION ACCOUNT.
Hope this example clear your doubts.
Regards,
Ravi

Difference between Cabinet and Exchange

So, I might be being a little dumb here (which would not be the first time) but I feel I must be missing something and its probably in my understanding of the terms...
Exchange = The big building that houses all of the tech that occasionally members of the travelling community like to relieve of copper
Cabinet = The shiny green box at the bottom of my road that recently set up shop next to the dull old green box enabling me to receive FTTC
Providing the above is correct, why do all the "exchange checker" tools including BT's own measure the distance between my house and the exchange when calculating my potential speed? Surely the whole point of FTTC is that the fibre (with its massive capacity) is run to the cabinet... Isn't it (within reason) irrelevant how far I am from the exchange?
If the speedchecker says "your X distance from your exchange and can expect a speed of Y" wont Y actually be quite different it I'm only actually 0.25X distance from the cabinet?
OR... am I just being an idiot?
Ross

You are right. For FTTC, only distance from the cabinet matters.
The main estimator tool does take this into account.
On some of the tools you will see a figure called 'uplift' quoted.
This is the improved speed to expect from a connection to your cabinet rather than a connection to the exchange.
eg, you may have an ADSL speed of 18, an uplift of 3, and an estimated 54 for FTTC.
I don't remember any tool that actually quotes your distance from the cabinet.
For example: http://fttc-check.alc.im/ gives an uplift.
The telephone number based http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome is informative.
~~~
Of course, as always with estimates, there is lots to go wrong. They are estimates, not promises, despite many posters complaints about 'not being given what we were promised' or 'not being given what we are paying for'.
Most people find they are a bit above the estimate, but it looks as if as more people join FTTC, crosstalk between them will lower their speeds to near the estimate. Some get much lower; aluminium lines is a particular bugbear for FTTC/VDSL which the estimator does not take into account. And for a very few, the records are just screwed up and the estimate rubiish.

One hour time difference between Palm and Exchange calendar items

Calendar items on Exchange and Palm are off by one hour.
Exchange server, desktop PC and Palm are all set to PST with the same time. Versamail account on Palm has been deleted and rebuilt.
See screen shots at http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kPKBDS28rhdVsextLM1PPQ?feat=directlink
What is interesting is the appointments entered in Outlook show up on the Palm one hour early however they show the correct time in (parenthises) so the Palm seems to be somewhat aware of the problem.
This same issue occurs on different Palm T/X 's with different Outlook accounts.
Any suggestions are welcome

Difference between authorization and audible account and other things

When I check my account in iTunes it says I have 4 machines out of 5 authorized to play music purchased with this account, even though I only have one laptop. I do have three different types of iPods. Are these iPods considered 'machines' that are taking up the other three of the four authorizations?? I tried deauthorizing my laptop mutliple times as described in the 'One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations' article, but I can only deauthorize the laptop once before I get the prompt to reauthorize my computer. Is there a way to find out just exactly what are the four machines that are on my account??
I have noticed under 'Advanced' in the iTunes menu bar there is a 'deauthorize audible account.' How is this different than 'deauthorize computer' under Store in the menu bar??
Any help on these matters is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
Authenticate: Prove that you are the user you tend to be, for example by checking a password of a user (=> user is authenticated)
Authorize: Give certain permission to a user, for example "not authorized to ready file xy" ("permission denied" / "not authorized")

Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR

Hi,
Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR we need to written off as a expense for imported w/off expense and in case of assets we need to post exchange rate difference to exchange fluctuation account. Currently exchange rate difference is accounting under capital work in progress(Asset)instead of exchange fluctuation.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Venkata Suresh

Hi,
At MIRO stage, after entering PO number system will automatically populate the GRN value for selection. Here if you found that invoice value, which you have received from the vendor, is more than the system proposed amount, then you can adjust that diff amount in the GL account tab, which is next to PO reference tab in MIRO.
There enter the exch loss GL account and enter the diff amount.
Thanks,
Srinu.

Difference between ob08 and oc41 Transaction code in Exchange rate

Hi,
Can any one help me out what is the difference between OB08 and Oc41 in transaction code in Exchange rates...
Thanks in Advance
Sivanand

hi Siva,
When foreign currencies are valuated, all the open items that were posted in a foreign currency are valuated. The valuation is based on the individual open items in a foreign currency, that is, each open item in a foreign currency is valuated individually.
The exchange rate table is OB08
AND
OC41 is another transaction to the exchange rate table.
When you try to change you cannt change the rates sometimes.... but u can see the rates displayed.......

HT201320 how do you set up and exchange account for google mail

how do you set up and exchange account for google mail

If it's a free gmail account, you don't. Google no longer permits free accounts to be set up using Exchange Active Sync. Only paid google apps accounts can be set up as Exchange accounts.

What is the difference between PUSH and FETCH

I am a little confused. I use my iphone for both my personal POP email accounts and my business exchange account. I am trying to save as much battery as I can so I turned off push and set everything to manual...but now when I try and get may mail....it either says "connecting" or "checking for new mail" at the bottom of the screen and nothing happens from there.
What is the best way to setup this situation for the most battery life? I don't need it to automatically download emails just when I open the email accout would be nice.
I also noticed that when I delete an email from my iphone on my exchange account, it also deletes is on my desktop at work...I need to turn this off...is it possible?

Hi maxum25,
The difference between push and fetch is that:
When using push, the server sends a signal to the iphone and lets it know that an email is coming its direction. Kind of like receiving a call. The iphone does not need to do anything except receive the email.
When using fetch, the iphone has to wake up every so often and send a request to the server to see if there is any new email waiting for it on the server to download. This takes more time because the iphone sends a request, the server says yes there is some, the iphone says ok give me the new email.
Now the exchange email uses active sync to keep all changes on the exchange server and mobile device in sync. This is automatic and is the nature of exchange and active sync. In order to keep this from happening you would need to talk to your IT dept. and see if they have an imap or pop alternative. Even using imap reflects the changes back to the server.
Hope this helps.

Disappearing Exchange account e-mails on iPad & iPhone

E-mails using and Exchange account started to disappear. POP and IMAP accounts were not affected. This is on both iPad and iPhone. iOS 7.1 on both. This is a new event, started March 12. All was normal before March 12, 2014

Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21404315#21404315

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.
