Exchange 2003 & Mail not syncing

All,
In Leopard Mail, I have a .Mac account as well as an Exchange account set up with the Exchange server where I work. The .Mac account works great, does everything I want it to do; the Exchange account, however, simply will NOT sync email & what I do with it with Exchange.
For the Exchange account setup, I have Mail set up to "Move Deleted Messages to the Trash Mailbox" checked, to "Store Deleted Messages on the Server," and to "Permanently Erase Deleted Messages When: Quitting Mail."
So during the day, I'll move some messages to the Exchange folders that Mail did set up correctly, delete messages I don't want anymore, and then I'll hit "Synchronize All Accounts." When that's done, I quit Mail.
About 5 minutes or so later, I'll log in to Windows using Parallels, open up Outlook, and see that the ENTIRE DAY'S MESSAGES are still in the Outlook inbox. They're shown as "read," but none of the messages that I'd moved to other folders in Mail or the ones I deleted in Mail are appropriately placed where they should be (either in their respective folders or in the "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook).
Is anyone else having this problem?
I do have a copy of Entourage 2008 with Exchange support, and that works fine (though it tends to crash 2-3 times per week). The thing is, I don't really like Entourage, am used to Mail, and prefer it to Entourage...and badly wish I could get Mail to work correctly with Exchange (2003).
BTW, our Exchange server does have IMAP turned on, which works great with the iPhone. But Mail just simply won't work with Exchange no matter what I try.
Any hints/ideas/something obvious I'm overlooking?

We are having problems where I work as well. The problem is that Mail is constantly syncing with the server and takes FOREVER to complete it. I've tried every combination of settings you could do in Mail, and we've had both Mac & PC IT guys in that can't figure out why it takes so long to sync, and why it feels it's necessary to sync when I simply click on my Sent folder, or Trash folder...any little click causes the program to want to sync something. Even my calendar events of which i have zero, take 10 - 15 minutes to sync.
Can anyone suggest a fix to my problem or the original poster's problem?
Thanks in advance.

Apple Mail Not Syncing

I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer. This just started happening, was working fine up to this point. We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server. I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client. This is the error I'm getting. I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help. Mail still not syncing. When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources" I do not see anything that is called MailSync. I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013. I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working. I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working. My issue started late March 2013. I don't know what else to try.

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced

Address book app and Addresses pane in Mail not synced
I add a contact to Address Book app eg [email protected], this address is not imediatley available to use in Apple Mail app.
The address [email protected] eventually appears in the Address panel in Maill app, it can take from 3 minutes to hours to appear, surely both apps are reading the same database.
This is particularly problematic when adding new contacts to groups and then emailing that group, Im never sure the group in Mail app is the same as the group in Address Book app.
Nothing seems to speed up this process ie quitting and re-opening Mail app or Address book app.
I have tried deletting "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book
I have tried forcing ~/Library/Aplication Suport/Address Book to re-index.
I have also restarted, repaired permissions, ran fsck -fy in single user mode.

Because the sender has their name as part of the email address that is sent, and when they send you a message that matches the one in your Address Book, it's updated to show their name as Mail received it. But if you had previously sent them email before that update occurred, then your Previous Recipients database in Mail doesn't use that newly updated information in Address Book.

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks

This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

Calendar/Mail not syncing via Microsoft Exchange server

Hello...
I know, I know. Not another Exchange server question....
But here goes....
I

****.... return button..
My iTouch has all the right settings from my IT department who uses a Exchange 2003 server.
User name, password, server is right - at least we think it's right.
Once I try to get Mail on my iTouch, it comes up with a "Cannot Get Mail - the connection to the server failed' error.
I'm actually trying to sync my Entourage Calendar mostly. All setting are right under the preferences in Entourage for syncing. And my iCal on my computer creates a mirror image of my Entourage calendar.
I can sync up the Calendar through iTunes, but don't really want to do this. Would rather have this happen WiFi.
Is there anything I'm missing?
I've reset my setting on my iTouch too. Done all that...read all the discussions, articles...
The only level that it stops me at is getting mail. The odd thing was yesterday it sent a couple of test emails I created last week. ODD!
Trying to get at least 75% of the capability out of this great technology.
Thanks,
Adam

Exchange 2007 mail account sync with Mail 4.0 does not happen

I am setting up my work exchange 2007 mail account in Mail 4.4. The total size of mail box is ~ 200MB. Folders smaller than 10MB have synced properly and I can see the mails in these folders inside Mail.
However, none of the mails inside folders >10MB are visible in Mail. Activity window in Mail does not indicate that a sync is going on. But I can see that Mail has correctly calculated the folder sizes on server and no. of messages on server (for every folder) in Account Info.
I have waited close to 5hrs hoping that it is probably a slow first time sync, but I am not closer to seeing the mails in Mail.
Any leads to solving this would help.
Thanks

I was having this problem as well with a different host's email account. I was able to get IMAP as an option by holding down the Option key. But then was unable to connect to the server to send/receive mail. Turning off SSL in two places worked:
- Uncheck SSL from the SMTP server settings (click on the SMTP server name & select "Edit SMTP Server List to get to this setting); and
- From the Advanced Options Tab. Also, in Advanced Options, you may need to change the port to 143 (it may be defaulted to 993 since SSL is the default.)

Microsolft 2003 calendar not syncing with iphone (using itunes)

Basics: I have Win XP Pro, I use Microsoft 2003, I have an iphone 3G, and I sync my contacts, calendar, and notes using itunes 9.0.3. I don't use Outlook mail and don't sync using MS Exchange -- I just connect my iphone to the computer using a usb and sync with itunes.
Up until a week or two ago, I had no problems syncing. Now, while contacts and notes syncs fine, calendar does not sync at all (in either direction), even though itunes says it's "syncing calendar". I know this is not new (I see many posts about this), and I have scoured the discussion pages for advice already and tried everything I could. I looked at the following apple troubleshooting page and tried everything there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1692. Specifically, this is what I have already done and nothing has worked:
* I uninstalled the newest version of itunes (as well as quick time, bonjour, and the other software components that apple recommended I uninstall) and reinstalled 9.0.3
* I uninstalled my Outlook 2003 and reinstalled
* From itunes preferences, under devices, I "reset sync history" (and I have continued to do this before syncing after I try something new)
* From itunes help, I ran "diagnostics" for "iphone sync tests" and no problems were noted. I have done this several times.
* From within Outlook help, I ran "detect and repair" and no problems were noted
* From within Outlook tools and advanced options, I clicked the "COM add-ins" button and removed 3rd party software
HOWEVER...the apple troubleshooting page referenced above suggested syncing content in a new user window, and that DID work! Moreover, when I copied my original Outlook.pst file to the new user account, the trouble starts again and no calendar syncing. And to continue the test, when I remove the original Outlook.pst and put back the new Outlook.pst file in the new user window, it works again. And for the final test, when I copy the new user Outlook.pst file to my main/real user account, the sync works perfectly. All this indicates the original Outlook.pst file is corrupted.
HOWEVER, Apple offers NO advice as to what to do next. The following is quoted from their troubleshooting page:
"Once you are logged into the new user account, create a few test contacts and/or calendar events in your compatible application of choice and attempt to sync that data to your iPhone or iPod touch. Does this newly created data sync properly? If so, you likely have an issue with your content in the original user which you will need to isolate."
Sooooo...what to do now? How do I "isolate" the problem any further?
Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.

Revolution-Exchange contacts will not sync

I have an issue where my exchange contacts will not update on my new Revolution. The Activesync is working fine with my mail and my calendar over my exchange account, but the phone will not load my contacts from exchange. I have called online tech support and am working with my work IT group... but so far nothing has worked... any ideas from the group?

as a follow up - PROBLEM SOLVED...
I had to make a backup copy of my contacts... delete them all from my primary exchange contact list... and then I created a test contact which started the sync process to my phone.
I could then add my 600+ contacts back in smaller groups to get them to sync to my phone.
Thanks to my IT department for the suggestion !!!

Mac mail not syncing deleted messages with iPad email?

I'm very frustrated with the mail sync between my MacBook and my iPad. My Microsoft Exchange (@student.uml.edu) email for school will NOT sync between my Mac and my iPad.
When I delete mail from from Mac mail, it does not delete on my iPad. This has led me to have 3 read emails in my inbox on my MacBook and 45 emails on my iPad. I can't imagine having to keep track of deleting emails from my laptop then again on my iPad thats just silly.
Am I doing something wrong here? Help!

I have the same problem in the opposite direction - I can delete things on my iPad but they don't delete on my MacBook and Mail won't let me delete them. My problem is also with an educational Exchange account. Other accounts sync without problems.

Microsoft Exchange Apple Mail not automatic

While use Microsoft Exchange for gmail my Apple Email address mail server will not sync automatic.
If I not choice Microsoft Exchange so my Apple Email Mail Service will sync automatic?
Am I right?

Same problem here.
I found a workaround that seemed to work for me:
- Delete Office 365 Exchange Account
- Go into ~/Library/Mail and delete the folders associated with your Exchange account, empty trash.
- Follow these directions to force re-index mail for your other accounts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
- Quit, restart
- Add account again
- Give it enough time to download all emails/attachments
YMMV, good luck!

Mountain Lion Mail not syncing with iCloud

I have a gmail, yahoo mail, microsoft exchange, and apple email account. I can get all of them to sync on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac. However, for some reason only the Apple email shows up on iCloud. I deleted my account and signed out of iCloud on the iMac to hopefully restart but the iCloud mail on Safari is not syncing at all. If someone has a solution to this problem that would be awesome. Thank you.

Mine too is not syncing.
In fact it has become un-usable !!!!!
- When I delete emails from my exchange account, they are initially deleted but then are restored ?
- emails which contain invites to appointments, are not imported to Calendar
- drafts, which I save are not saved.
It is a complete pain, and is resulting in my having to look for another email client.
PLEASE APPLE SORT THIS OUT !!!!

Exchange E-Mail not Respecting "Off-Peak" Settings on Phone Start-Up

I've got my work exchange e-mail set-up on my phone to have a quiet time before 8am, after 6pm and al;l day at the weekend when sync is set to "Manual".
This works fine 99% of the time -except if my phone has been switched off. When the phone is switched back on, it ALWAYS seems to do a mail sync on this account, regardless of whether it is a "Peak" or "Off-peak" time.
This is using the Sony-installed "Email" app v 6.1 on a Z2 with 17.1.2.A.0.314 firmware.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?
Thanks.

Confused as to which setting should be on "Push" ???
I want e-mail checked every hour, between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday.
I want e-mail not checked at all (except manually) all day at the weekend, and before 8am and after 6pm during the week.
My current settings are in the attached screen shot. What should they be to get the schedule listed above to work?
Thanks!

ICloud Mail not syncing as "read" across all devices

If I read an email on my Mac, it does not mark as read on my iPhone and i still see the new mail notification on the lock screen and there is a new mail mark on the mail app icon when i unlock the iPhone until I open up mail app and it checks manually.
When I used the Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App with Gmail account it works perfectly and when i read my mail it sync immediately on all devices and the new mail notification disappear immediately after reading the mail on the other device.
Is there any way that iCloud mail can update reading mail Immediately like Gmail Exchange server or Gmail App?

Unfortunately, iCloud only pushes new mail. In iOS, it has never pushed the updated status of mail read, moved or flagged on other devices. http://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT203545
You could try switching your iCloud mail to fetch instead of push. I've never tried this, but maybe it will fetch the read status, as per the fetch schedule.

Apple mail not syncing with hotmail e-mail on iPhone

I just bought a MacBook Pro a couple days ago and before when I was using my PC my hotmail account on my PC would sync with my hotmail e-mail on my iPhone 4. Since I setup my hotmail account in Apple Mail it is not syncing with my iPhone. When I delete it on my Mac or show it as read, it still shows as unread on my iPhone. This did not use to happen. Can someone help me, so I can get my Mac and iPhone to sync my e-mails?
And I cannot see all my Hotmail folders in Apple Mail.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I've got many years of emails saved on my hotmail account and I've got other different email addresses set up to forward their emails to this account. Due to the nature of my work, I also regularly have to search back through my emails.
It looks like my only option currently is to use an icloud account and have all of my other email accounts all forwarding emails to that instead. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem of being able to search back through my emails, though.
Does anyone know how the iphone manages to successfully connect with hotmail accounts (as though using IMAP). As I said, my iphone works absolutely perfectly and is fully synced with the hotmail server. I know it's something to do with 'microsoft exchange' but I really don't understand what this is and how it works.
Thanks, Matt

My exchange calendar will not sync.

I installed, succesfully, my exchange email and contacts, but for whatever reason, my calendar will not sync. The error that pops up says that my email address is not valid. Any ideas?

I somehow managed to fix this myself. I am new to Mac. What I did was go to Settings and deleted the Exchange account then I re-added it, quit all the windows, re-started the Mac and it all worked fine.
