Exchage server mail box issue.

Hi All,
One of the user in Exchange Server has a mail box size of 500 MB. I have disabled this user but not deleted, since He left our Company, after reducing the size of his mailbox to 10 MB from 500 MB, I realized that
there were still many mail items which were available in his mail box & his mailbox property value was showing XXXX amount of items and it xxxxxx KB of space, thus it means that his mailbox items are still occupying 332 MB out of 500 MB, unfortunately
I have already reduced mail box size to 20 MB, I would like to know where will the items available in his mailbox and suppose if i increase the same user's mail box back to 400/500 MB then will I get back to the all mails and there will be any effect
on exchange server database (EDB) file. If so, what are the consequences
Regards
Lakshminarayan

No increasing the users MB size will not bring back items that have been deleted.
How did you do the deletion?
How long ago did you so the deletion?
Are you wanting to get the data back or just wondering why the its still occupying space in the DB?
When you delete items via Outlook they are first put into the Deleted Items Folder
When you empty the Deleted items Folder the items are placed within the Recoverable Items/Deletions folder until the deleted item retention is reached
Once the Deleted item retention is reached the data is purged from the DB and the space it use to occupy is now white space. The DB size itself will not decrease instead that white space can be used to store other items from any user in that DB
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Mail box issue

My mail says: Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed. How can I fix this?, My mail says: Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed. How can I fix this?

Check the setup of your mail account(s). The message you are receiving is specific to the incoming mail server. Check the username and password and make sure those are correct, as well as the incoming mail server name. You may need to check with your email provider for information.

Mail Box Issues. Cannot delete any of my emails.

I cannot delete my messages from my inbox. I keep getting the following message "135518.emlx coudn't be copied to messages because an item with the same name already exists"

Thanks, it did take a bit of time as i saw from other comments that this is was the best thing to do BUT as it took soooooo long i figured something else was wrong. Thanks again

Mail Password Issue (server rejecting the password)

Every time i try to get my email i get a message back that says "The MobileMe IMAP server 'mail.me.com' rejected the password for user dswich". Is there a way to reset (or retrieve) my password so that i can get back into my email? Because clearly i don't have the right password......

I have the same issue. Just replaced a hard drive and restored everything. Only thing that did not come with it were the mail info. No big deal, I thought. But when I tried to put in all the password information, it would not accept it. It is the only thing left to do. Email boxes-everything imported back in from my backup hard drive. Just a little frustrated right now.
Ok. Just changed my password according to iCloud requirements. Still no joy. I get email on my iPad and my iPhone, but I cannot seem to get the mail sent to my computer with the new hard drive. So, I am with you. Is there a way to verify the email settings?

New, Single Server - DNS, Web, Wiki, Mail Setup Issues

I'm having some issues properly setting up 10.7.3 to host internal DNS and external Web, Wiki and Mail. I'm having issues with the web and wiki hosting. Since those are the most important right now, I haven't really had a chance to fully test the other features. I was able to do some testing of the mail and iCal but it was limited.
Long read below but I thought the specifics would be helpful...
My goals and configuration are:
***GOALS***
Primary:
1) Host a public website: example.org and www.example.org
2) Host a public wiki: main.example.org and www.main.example.org
3) Host a public mail server: [email protected]
4) Host a public, group calendar
4a) Read only to majority - Read/Write to a group
5) Host a global address book for authenticated users
Secondary:
6) Allow anonymous public access to a file share (read only)
7) Allow authenticated access to the same file share (read/write)
8) Do as much of this via GUIs as possible.
***SETUP AND CONFIGURATION***
Physical:
1) Business class Internet (no blocked ports)
2) A single, public and static IP address
3) Domain name and public DNS via GoDaddy
4) Wildcard Cert: *.example.org from GoDaddy
5) Late 2011 (bought in Jan 2012) MacMini Lion Server (the $1,000 one).
5a) Upgraded the RAM to 16GB (need for VMware Windows clients)
5b) Added two USB to Ethernet adapters.
6) Using a new model AirPort Extreme Base Station (bought w/ the MM) as the main router.
Initial Configuration:
7) Setup a Mac Address reservation for the main and two USB Ethernet ports along with the wireless too.
7a) Main port = 10.0.1.5 / Others are .6, .7 and .10
8) During the setup, I chose the Host on the Internet (third) option and named my server: main.example.org
9) After the setup completed, I upgraded the OS & Admin Tool to 10.7.3 from a clean install (on #5 now)
DNS Config
10) I used the admin tool to open DNS and change:
11) "Primary Zone Name" from main.example.org to example.org.
12) In the "Nameservers:" block, I changed the zone name there but left the nameserver name alone (zone: example.org /// Nameserver Hostname: main.example.org).
13) The Machine Name and Reverse Zone was left alone. RZ resolves to main.example.org. sudo changeip -checkhostname is good. dig on the example.org and main.example.org are good to go (NOERROR).
OD Config
14) From the server app, I clicked Manage/Network Accounts and setup the OD - No issues.
SSL
15) From the server app, I created self signed cert, generated a CSR, got a public Cert, then replaced the self-signed with the public one - No issues.
16) Changed any service using the self-signed cert to the public one - No issues.
17) Changed the cert in the OD to the public cert from server admin - No issues.
In order: File Sharing, Mail, AB, iCal, Web, Wiki, Profile Manager, Network Groups, Network Users
18) File Sharing was setup using the server app
19) Setup mail using the server app to start it and the server admin app to configure it - No issues there (I think...)
20) AB - Flipped the switch to on
21) iCal - Flipped the switch to on - I setup the e-mail address to use after I added the network accounts.
22) Web - Flipped the switch to on - Default site worked (main.example.org)
23) Wiki - Flipped the switch to on - Default wiki worked. (main.example.org)
24) PM - Checked the sign config profiles and enabled the device mgt. I then flipped the switch to on - Default settings and pages worked.
***MY PROBLEMS***
Website:
Adding a website for example.org gave me the red dot in the server app. To fix that, I added a Machine Name record to my primary zone (PZ = example.org Machine Name = example.org). I first tried using the same 10.0.1.5 IP as the main.example.org and left the reverse mapping alone (still resolved to the NS of main.example.org).
That gave me the green light in the server app when trying to add the website again. From there, I changed the "Store Site Files In" to the location of my website files (and confirmed "Everyone" has Read Access in the folder's security settings). I left the other info alone (all defaults accepted) and clicked done.
Access to the website works on the server but external access doesn't (Network Error/timed out tcp_error). Checked the AirPort settings using the AirPort utility (version 5.5.3) and the Port Mapping (under the "Advanced" icon) show serveral services all pointing to 10.0.1.5. Thinking it could be DNS I tried main.example.org externally and it failed the same way.
I ran the changeip command (good to go) and dig on example.org and main.example.org and they both resolved to 10.0.1.5 correctly.
I removed the example.org Machine Record from the zone and it now looks like:
PZ=example.org / ZONE=example.org / NS=main.example.org
Machine Record=main.example.org / IP=10.0.1.5
RM=10.0.1.5 / Resolves=main.example.org

How do i create a mail box in the SMTP server thru a java program

How do i create a mail box in the SMTP server thru a java program. If it is possible thru a java program.pls suggest a mail server compatible for the above possibility to work.
pls help ....

Please let me know if it is not at all possible to
create a user account automatically thru a program
(java) in a mail server... how does yahoo work
then..does he manually add a user to the mail
server...By talking to a web server not a mail server.

Is not there any mail server that will allow us to
create mailboxes for my java program.. how do the
other web account services work..
As I said mail servers do have management interfaces. You need to find one and then determine what the management interface is.

Exchange Server 2003/2010 Coexistence Mail-flow Issues

I've installed Exchange 2010 in a 2003 coexistence scenario.
2010 was deployed with CAS,HUB, and Mailbox roles.
The installation went through smoothly, and the default RGC was created.
On the 2010 Server, when I create a new users with mailbox, that user is no able to send or receive mail from anywhere.
2010 user to 2010 user does not work
2003 user to 2010 user does not work
Mail delivery between 2003 users works fine.
The RGC message queue in ESM 2003 shows that the messages are queued and keep retrying.
I have deleted the RGC twice and created new ones, I have un-installed the HUB and CAS roles and re-installed them, and I have also re-run setup /preparead and setup /preparelegacyexchangepermissions
I'm not able to make any sense of the message tracking on the 2010 side. It just shows a bunch of entries:
EventID: NOTIFYMAPI
Source: STOREDRIV
When I use the best practices analyzer to test mailflow to a 2010 user from the outside, the test comes back with a pass even though the message itself isn't delivered to the specified mailbox.
There is no smart host defined on the default SMTP virtual server on 2003.
There is no SMTP Send Connector for External or Internal mail configured on 2003 besides the 2010 RGC
Any ideas?

As long as you cannot send email between ex2010 users this has nothing to do with connectors/smtp config..
I had the same issue one year ago and solved adding both sevrers to old/new exchange sevrers security groups.
Looks like for some missing security entry (not sure why) mailbox is unable to conact HUB  (MSExchangeMailSubmission) I expect you seing items stuck in draft for owa (outbok for outlook)
I saw in some blogs similar cases solved by setting static DNS servers for HUB severs config.
Yes that is similar to what I'm experiencing.
When using the Outlook client with a 2010 mailbox the mail leaves the outbox fine. When using OWA new messages just get saved as drafts when I try to send them.
I will try your suggestions. I see two groups. Exchange Domain Servers, and Exchange Enterprise Servers of which Exchange Domain Servers is a member.

What is the difference between Outlook features using exchage server and using 3rd party mail server ?

Hi~ I'd like to know what the difference is between Outlook features using exchage server and using 3rd party mail server.
If I use 3rd party mail server with Outlook, Outlook features are the same as Exchange Server ?
I want to use all Outlook features..

The basic features (and many advanced features) are identical in all accounts. With pop3, your mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes are stored in a pst and are only on the computer. IMAP accounts only sync email back to the server, not calendar,
contacts, and tasks. Outlook.com EAS accounts (aka Hotmail) syncs calendar and contacts back to the server. Exchange mailboxes stores everything on the server - mail, calendar, contacts, custom views, rules - and if you open the mailbox in outlook on
any other computer, the mailbox is identical. Because everything is on the server, you'll have much better syncing with smartphones and tablets with Exchange mailboxes.
Calendar sharing, open other users folder, and retention policies are Exchange-only. Mail Tips and apps (linked under the reading pane header in Outlook 2013) are Exchange-only.

Mail relay issue since lion server install

I upgraded (or not) my Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard, to Lion Server.
I'm now getting mail relay errors when sending email to an account on my server from gmail.
"Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14)."
I'll post postconf -n if required.
voigtstr.com has an A name at the domain name registrar
mail.voigtstr.com has an mx record.
dig +short MX voigtstr.com returns
1 mail.voigtstr.com.
voigtstr.com and mail.voigtstr.com both point to my external ip address
any pointers?

LincNesh,
Seems the problem has been solved by Peter Rauen.
See this discussion: Mail relay SASL problem / postconf -n
I checked on my server and Peter is right. Although there are configs in /etc/postfix there is another path with postfix conf files: /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix
I actually only had to insert this line to main.cf there: smtp_sasl_security_options =
After a postfix reload my mails are being delivered via dyndns again.
Cheers!

Mail sync issue with new iPod Touch

I have been unable to successfully perform an initial mail sync using my new iPod Touch 32 GB with Version 3.1.1.
All is being successfully sync'd with the exception of mail. The error box when I click on mail with the iTouch reads - "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server mail.me.com failed"
I have an active .Mac account. I can successfully log into "mobileme" via my G5 1.8 dual running OS X 10.5.8. My cable web provider is Comcast in the Middle TN area.
Thanks in advance with any suggestions.

I found my "issue" is not an issue when I was able to access WiFi. The touch downloaded my messages! I was naively "assuming" that the initial setup via iTunes would have provided my initial message download.
Marking this "false alarm" as solved. I'll avoid "jumping the gun" on my next hurdle.

Bug in my mail box!

I have come to my computer after forgetting to switch it off when I went away and a 'mail delivery system failure' has been sending to my computer about 5 or 6 emails every five minutes for several days. Help!

If the duplicates are all in POP accounts then it might be to do with Exchange 2007 and not Snow Leopard. I found a few websites that discussed the duplicate mails for both Macs and PCs using Exchange 2007. For example: http://hms.harvard.edu/hmsit/pg.asp?pn=email_preventduplicates
This happened to me when I installed SL at home. I thought it was a SL issue until I went to work (which still runs Tiger) and I found that the duplicates had arrived there too. When I looked at the duplicate mails in on my Tiger mail - I found that there were very minor differences in the duplicates - eg. in one email the sender was "Bob Brown" while in the second email the sender was "[email protected]" - it is almost as if somehow the mails left on Exchange were recognised with a different code. It seemed rather a coincidence that it all started when I installed SL. So I think that the connection between SL and the Exchange server sparked off that difference in code recognition?? Exchange servers are complex creatures which I don't claim to understand them.
And some people in this thread seem to have had duplicates with IMAP as well and I don't understand that one either.
But I can offer one work around to the multiple emails. If you create a smart mail box with the single criteria that all unread messages go in there. When the duplicates come in you can at least save time and delete the duplicates easily from that smart folder without having to manually identify the duplicate mails.

DMZ - DNS Server, Mail Server, Web Server, FTP Server

Hi,
I am looking at a router to support around 20-30 people. I have a DNS Server, Mail Server, Web Server, FTP Server (all on one box (PC). I was wondering how everyones experiences with DMZ and port forwarding have been with these protocols with Airport and supporting a group of this size? Do you forsee issues? Will the new Airport handle these requirements better?
Thanks

A record for mail.mydomain.com going for ip 199.99.99.999
MX record for mail.mydomain.com with destionation as mail.mydomain.com
That doesn't quite make sense. There must be an A record for "server.mydomain.com" or you wouldn't be able to reach it at all. You want the MX record to point to that.

User not able to send the mail from other mail box on outlook 2007

In my outlook(2007), i am using my mail box to send the mail and receiving the mail every thing working fine, now what happened , i am adding one of my users mail box to my outlook profile,and trying to send the mail from that mail box,when ever
i am trying to send its give me the message called message undelivered and permission error. as i am full permission on that users mail box. but still getting that issue.
My lab info
Exchange server 2010 sp3

HI Paul,
In exchange, you have something called Send as permission as well. Try to give send as permission to your self from the user's mailbox.
In exchange> Reciepient config> Mailboxes> user mailbox> right click> Full Send as permssion
or,
Add-ADPermission -Identity "user1" -User "[email protected]" -ExtendedRights Send-As
After you add your self in send as permission you need to wait for some time to propagate the settings or you can forcefully reset the information store services
That should solve your issue.
