Exchange e-mail issues and iPhone 4s

When I send or reply to a message from the iPhone it automatically saves the sent message on my exchange server – this is very annoying as I only ever save messages I need responses to – can this be stopped?

Welcome To  Discussions pattylo!
I suggest that you also post in the Leopard 10.5 Mail & Address Book Forum.

Exchange 2007 Mail issue, server rejecting password

Hi all.
We have installed Exchange 2007 server today and configured it and all windows clients and iPhones. windows clients on normal RPC settings and laptops on RPC over HTTP.
Webmail has also been configured which works fine with a trusted root certificate. webmail works fine in safari also.
we have a problem configuring Mail on two SL macbooks. when running the setup and entering the password the client app comes back repeatedly and says 'The Exchange 2007 server “exchange.domain.co.uk” rejected the password for user “username” '
i have tried this on both machines and im kind of stuck since the exchange server is fully function for all other devices.
For info, the exchange server is on SP1 rollup 9. running on windows server 2008 R2 x64
i changed the outgoing server field to be the internal IP just to check and i get the prompt for the SSL (obviously since the SSL does not include the IP. i click to import and accept which it does but i still get my password rejected.
Any ideas?

Seems like an issue with a December update. I found the following info that basically tells you to go to IIS SSL settings for the OWA (and related sites) and change the client to "accept certificate". It worked for me so hopefully this will help someone else.
The following text was found on:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/383d130e -869f-4fce-9502-8b340904b0ba
EDIT: Found a fix for me potentially via - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/c1e72d 2a-d360-4ff0-b2f5-1a9ae149df18 and http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=micro soft.public.exchange.admin&mid=00d4a681-f588-4eed-b4f8-5c3645e7376c&sloc=en-us
I had an issue similar to this. Win2k3 Ex07. All of my Outlook 2007
users were getting prompted over and over for the username and
password. It wasn't checking the certificate that they had installed
via internet explorer. To fix the problem, I opened IIS on the
Exchange server and checked the following directories under the
default website (the root site(default web site), oab, autodiscover).
Under the directory security tab, click Edit in the Secure
Communications section. I had the require SSL checked and the 128bit
encryption, but under Client Certificates, it was set to ignore. Once
I changed that to Accept for each of the folders, stopped and started
IIS, I stopped being prompted all the time for credentials. Hopefully
this will help someone in the future.
Just confirmed fixed for client!!!

Exchange 2003 ActiveSync issue with iPhones

Hello,
    I am having an issue with an Exchange 2003 server, where a couple of iPhones can suddenly no longer Activesync with it. It seems to be an issue with their specific accounts. I set up an account for myself and was able to connect
and sync with no issue from my Windows 8 phone and also the Remote Connectivity Analyzer.
   However, with the iPhone user I tried to run his account through the Analyzer and got a timeout error when it was testing to sync the inbox. I also tried setting up the user's account on my Windows phone and the inbox just showed "syncing,
this could take a while" and just kept doing that.
   The mailbox in question is pretty large, the System Manager shows it at 41GB and I think that may be the issue. However, initally the user told me that the phone worked fine until about a month ago. When I first started troubleshooting
the issue, I found that the self signed certificate had expired around the time the phone stopped syncing and generated a new one. But I think the user had tried to wipe the account and re-set it up normally but that wiped any mail that was on the phone
and now it is trying to resync a large amount of data and that is causing the timeouts.
   I have also been reading that Microsoft Security Essentials can cause these types of issues and it is installed on the server, but would it cause these issues with only certain accounts or with iPhones but not Windows phones?
   Am I on the right track with this? Thanks.

The event viewer shows no ActiveSync errors for the user. I tried to connect to the account from my Windows phone and it set up ok with no errors (the user tells me that the account setup on the phone went ok too, all green checks) but when it was
doing the initial sync, it just seemed to hang with a message saying something like "syncing, this could take a while" or something to that effect.
The Remote Connectivity analyzer came back with a timeout error for the Inbox sync step as well.

Outlook exchange e mail application and web application not connected

Hello Everybody,
We have issue with 3 of our clients machine that face the same problems.
When they tried to launch outlook, the status of outlook application always showing that, "Trying to connect"
and when we tried them to log on to outlook web application, there is nothing to log on..i had tried to log on with 3 difference browsers, but still not work.. other website as yahoo or gmail are working fine..
We are using Microsoft Exchange.
Could you let me know what is the real issues with that?
THanks you
VeasnaYim

Dear Edited,
Thanks so much for your concerning our problems!
When I tried them to access their e mail through out OWA, no error and i didn't see any display on the webpage and it was just blank!
Last thing, I deleted their user profiles and configure their exchange e mail to desktop outlook and everything working fine, error gone!
If you have any ideas, please let me know and i will bring that to fix future issues regarding this!
Best regards,
VeasnaYim

AT&T Yahoo e-mail issues on iPhone: POP vs. IMAP

So, I'm having the same two problems mentioned in other threads here regarding Yahoo! mail and iPhone, but I've got a third issue/observation, and I'm wondering if it's a partial cause of the problem.
First, a recap: Yahoo! mail (or, in my case, AT&T Yahoo! mail, which is the fully featured version that comes with my DSL account) does not push e-mails as it should and may randomly delete e-mail (though I'm not positive that's happened to me...)
Now, the new wrinkle: My e-mail at home is set up to use Yahoo's POP3 servers. I use Eudora rather than Mail.app, so I didn't synch the iPhone to the account (not possible): Instead, I created a new account on the iPhone and entered the relevant information. Once I had tapped Y! Mail, there was no option to choose between POP3 and IMAP, and now my phone thinks it's accessing an IMAP account, which it is not.
Could this be the source of the problem?

That doesn't help, really. I understand the difference between POP and IMAP, and I've chosen to use POP. The question is: What are the consequences of the fact that the iPhone forces me to use IMAP to access an account that both my desktop computer and my ISP believe to be a POP account?
Note, moreover, that the first link you provided indicates that the server to use with an account like mine is "pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com," so Apple too believes that it is a POP account. (That's not actually true: it should be pop.att.yahoo.com; pop.sbcglobal... is an outdated name, but that's not important right now. Or is it?)
But the iPhone automatically treats any e-mail account set up as a Y! Mail account as IMAP, and I can see no option to change that anywhere in Settings, once you've specified a Y! Mail account. Is the fix simply to set up a new account, choose "Other" rather than "Y! Mail," and configure it properly?

Exchange Push Mail Issues

For the past couple of weeks I've been having issues with my device and push mail, I'll check the phone in the afternoon and it'll say last updated 10:30 - swipe to update and all my mail comes in. The device is not in Stamina mode and I've even disabled the "queue background data" option but not joy. Removed and re-added my account also, oh and cleared out all of my devices in Exchange web mail. Just downloaded TouchDown to see if its the native email application causing the issue and that works fine. I am wondering if the last software update has caused an issue, been working fine up until a few weeks ago. My father has a Moto G running off the same email service and its fine.

I had this issue and I resolved it with a widget I use (PowerToggle) as I use it for my quick access tools eg Vibrate to Loud, Torch on/off, brightness etc, and I put an auto-sync on there and leave it turned on. Not an exact fix but it works. I found before I did this that apps would turn off their auto-sync, and turning it on manually would work until I reset the phone, then it'd turn off again and would have to turn on again.

Using .mac with mail.app and iphone...problems with mailbox folders i think

Is it normal in mail.app for my folders to be as follows: Under the heading Mailboxes, I have Inbox folder and Sent folder and trash folder. Then, instead of a junk folder under that, it is below all of that under the heading Chris's Email (obviously my account). Why is this?

Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with your ISP's email account?
Most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the default port for SMTP servers.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restructions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First thing to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below the the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, you need to contact your ISP. If you are accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with the Mail.app, in the interim select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

I have seen all the early responses to how to fix AOL mail issues on Iphones, however no mater how many smpt servers I set up or on .... I can not get AOL mail to send from my Iphone 5, running IOS 6. I have an Iphone 4 running IOS6 and it works fine...

I can not get the Iphone 5 to send out aol mail. I have added the extra smtp server as suggested and it still will not send mail.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I called apple restored my phone to its original and it did not work :-( Now it seems like it worked for a bit than stopped again. Now I have to contact Apple again to set up an appointment at an Apple store because it may be an issue with my phone. I have only had it for a week and half!

E55 e-mail issues and solutions.

The main problem of Nokia E55 e-mail (and AFAIK generic Nokia e-mail problems) is there are too much support for email but poorly documented. I just discovered everything I'll write here by my own trying to figure out the problems. This message is also a bug report if Nokia cares.
First, there are many ways to setup an email account (or mailbox in Nokia jargon). Just to name the ones I know:
(Assumption, you got some internet connection.)
1. Go to Control panel, settings, general, personalization, one touch keys, messaging key, short press and select email setup. Then close the menu and short press the messaging one touch key. An application will start, check for connection and then asks for an email address. If you continue, you'll see that the setup options are few and useless. If you check the task manager by long pressing the menu button, you'll see a @ sign.
2. Go to menu and select email to start Email 2.1.0 application. Select "new" and settings wizard will start then it starts a screen with email on top. Then, you need to press start and it will show you some commercial (free or not, but commercial) email options together with "other" option.
2.a. If you choose any commercial email provider (e.g.. gmail) and enter your address and password, the application will "detect your email settings" which means your phone will communicate with a nokia server and the nokia server will log in for you as a man-in-the-middle. Then, the application will download a contract in your language and ask to sign it. If you don't accept see 2.b, if you accept the contract, it means the "Nokia Messaging Service" will be enabled. Nokia messaging service is hosted at http://email.nokia.com. (A very bad, confusing name) From now on, NOKIA WILL KEEP YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD (with some poor privacy act based on the unbalanced contract) and Nokia will access your mail in your name, Nokia will be able to change your email settings, Nokia will be able to delete your email messages Just like the well-known man-in-the-middle attack in crypto courses. (See TR's note of Aug 26, 2010 18:18 at http://noknok.tv/2010/05/26/how-to-set-up-nokia-messaging/)
2.b. If you decline the contract or choose "other" that Nokia doesn't know how to access your account, then the application won't enable Nokia messaging service (*) and the application will enable the email access protocols already installed on your phone. Thus, you'll access your email directly and Nokia will not keep your email password. In that option, you may need to enter more server settings. But IMHO, it worth it.
(*) Oh, yes. This is a very good point. If you're willing to use the Nokia Messaging Service but doesn't have a commercial account, you can't enable it. At least, you can't enable it as you pay. E55 includes fuzzy-lifetime service agreement. If you go directly to the site and sign up yourself online, you'll get a trial service agreement. Not the full service you've already paid. (See TR's notes above to understand what fuzzy-lifetime is. Shortly, you can enable it just once for just one person but not for each person using the same phone.)
3. This is the tricky one. I found only one way to configure my email in that way but it has the most detailed settings for your account and it connects to the server directly. Bad news is, you can set only one mailbox up with that method. Go to menu, messaging, options, settings, email, options, new mailbox, start, enter your address and password, choose imap/pop, enter server settings, save. You'll see the default mailbox box will change. (But you won't see the mailbox in the messaging application [the app we've started by selecting menu then messaging]. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.) Suddenly, the Email 2.1.0 application will start and it will try to take the control of your mailbox. Don't let. Selecting options, exit close that application. You'll be in the messaging application's menu again. Another options, exit closes this application too, and will take you to the main screen. Now, the tricky part. If you go and check Email 2.1.0 application, you'll see your mailbox is there. If you go to the messaging application, it won't show you your mailbox. Still, if you go options, settings, email, you'll see your mailbox as the default. Ok, who cares. Now, the settings. If you shortly press the email one touch key, you'll see your mailbox in the messaging application. If you select options then Email settings you'll get hell a lot of settings to set your mailbox. This is the only way I know to see the "Email settings" menu item and set the mailbox in detail. Remember that, there are projections of these settings on the Email 2.1.0 application's menu with less options.
There may be other setups for exchange and so on but I didn't check that options. These were already enough for my brain to explode.

Continues...
The third solution is the native solution, I think (as it doesn't support html messages and Nokia Email 2.1.0 and Nokia messaging service are marketed to be able to read HTML messages).
Another issue of the third solution is that the settings in the native messaging application and the settings in the Email 2.1.0 are sometimes conflicting. So you need to crosscheck them after you set up.
Nokia hardly have IMAP-idle support. So, don't trust on it. The very basic example of such is, you seem to be connected with the fancy green circle at the top right but when you try to read any email, you'll be asked to connect to internet continuously and you won't be able to fetch or read the message.
I checked many IMAP server logs to realize this issue. The problem is, as Nokia doesn't keep the credentials and disconnect from the server way too early, server generally interprets it as "remote party disconnected". And if you ask to fetch something again the second time, it creates an SSL 41 error (certificate not found) and closes the connection.
(Yes, I got SSL installed in my mail server. I think nearly everybody has it in these days.)
Another thing is about the "Nokia messaging service" It has hardly any customer support and it goes offline from time to time. Sometimes, you cannot reach the server even from your PC or if you can reach, you cannot configure anything.
For example, it is possible that it creates an account for you that you aren't aware of. The account creation is automated and the username/password pair is set as the first email address you've logged in with your phone. Sometimes people are unaware of this and when they change their passwords on their accounts, their email suddenly gets disconnected. Also, sometimes they cannot remember their old passwords or their old mailboxes not in use anymore.
Second, it maps many personal data altogether, which is against privacy. I realized this issue by practice. Here is my story:
I got an mail account,say [email protected] and I created a nokia messaging service account with this email. This is normally a "trial period" subscription of which the username/password pair is identical to my mail account. Namely, [email protected] and some password. I also added my second email account, [email protected] to my nokia messaging account. During account creation, the site asked me about my phone number.
Then, I bought E55 which has lifetime nokia messaging service subscription. I switched on my brand new E55 and try to configure my email. By chance, I started with [email protected]. So, Nokia created an [email protected] nokia messaging account for me. (I realized that account creation afterwards and it was a phone-lifetime subscription.) Then, I added my second email [email protected] on my phone.
What the duck, everything was scrambled. After I realize the double Nokia messaging accounts issue, I decided to delete the old one, which was a trial. At the end, I actually got a lifetime. So I logged in to the service and cancelled my first account. What do you expect? Nokia messaging service deleted both of my accounts and all email messages from both of my phones. I was lucky that I backed them up recently. I can't imagine to lose all my business mail because of the poor and ill policies of Nokia. Moreover, now, I can't get another phone-lifetime subscription to the service in the first week of my phone. Very nice...
Still, I got the third issue. I mentioned that I was checking my servers' logs to understand what's going on. After I tried to delete one (but practically deleted both) of my nokia messaging accounts, there shouoldn't be any references to my servers. Do you think so?
These are some of the IP's trying to connect to my mail server even after the messaging accounts are deleted:
131.228.18.22
131.228.18.67
131.228.18.30
131.228.18.40
When you check them at geo locator, they're all in Finland... Very nice... The only way I found was changing all my accounts passwords to get rid of the great and fancy Nokia eavesdropping service. After that, these IP's started to try the same password to log in. Currently, Nokia is trying to log in 6 times every 15 minutes to my mail accounts. I don't know when they'll stop trying. They're like terminators, they never give up.
Advice: IF YOU EVER SUBSCRIBED TO NOKIA MESSAGING SERVICE, JUST CHANGE ALL YOUR EMAIL PASSWORDS ASAP.
The fourth issue is about the setup process again. If you connect to the internet during setting up the email (Second option above), wizard runs so slowly, because it is trying to connect to the Nokia server (to send your username and password to Nokia databases).
This is probably one of the reasons why people end up waiting for minutes and cannot get a mailbox at the end.

Help with Exchange 2007, Active Sync and iPhone 3g - software 2.0.2

Hello good evening and *******
Now that's said, is anyone else having 'issues' with this?
I'm on install number ten of Exchange 2007 and god knows how many different variations of trying to connect to it on the phone. I can get OWA working on the phone and via the web both on the phone and via my home pc, i've had Outlook at home working and i've had Outlook at work working. Honestly when it works, it's seamless and very very quick however i'd like it to work for longer than a day and have some faith that it will do so.
What I keep finding is that for some reason, despite nothing changing on the server or the phone is that Active Sync eventually fails and for no apparent reason. The longest i've had it working is just over a day ( yesterday) and last night it packed up again.
I think it's something to do with certificates / dns but that's purely guesswork as I thought i'd fixed it last time by setting up the FQDN to point at both internal and external network cards on our internal network.
I would also like to point out that Exchange2007 has been working perfectly throughout all of this, it's just the iPhone / ActiveSync part that dies - unsurprisingly this is the most important bit for me as that's the bit our sales force will be relying on when we transfer to exchange.
I'm no Mac 'fan' and i'm not that much in love with Windows but there seems to be something amiss between Apple and Microsoft and due to the iPhones complete lack of diagnostic logging further compounded by silent error messages i'm at a loss to find out where / why / when it's breaking.
Is there a 2.0.3 update due which will address this problem?
In the meantime i'm off to install Exchange ..... again, set up security certificates ... again ..... and see if it will fix what's broken .... again

And now it's working!!!
I changed the following in IIS.
Default website - Microsoft Server ActiveSync Properties
virtual directory - read access enabled
directory security - integrated windows authentication, digest authentication, basic authentication enabled
realm - set to mydomain.com
Changed the same things for OWA
That appears to have done the trick but i've been here before so i'll see if it stays working over the weekend.
As a phone ... i'm impressed, as a web enabled device, i'm impressed but as a Corporate Tool ..... i've yet to be impressed, largely due to the complexity of integration into exchange.

Exchange & Push Mail Issues (Inbox only - not other sub-folders)

got everything to work without too many problems.. I did however run into one major problem which seems like a deal killer for me..
I have pre-existing mail sorting rules on my Exchange server.. basically I have a general INBOX with several sub-folders (let's call the CLIENT-A, CLIENT-B, CLIENT-C)..
This means the Inbox looks like:
/inbox/
/inbox/client-a/
/inbox/client-b/
/inbox/client-c/
My problem is that since the mail is being pre-sorted at the mail sever directly into the sub folders, I am not seeing the NEW mail (or related marker on Mail App icon) except when it get mail that goes in the INBOX.. only email that ends up in INBOX get PUSHed.. mail that is routed to CLIENT-A or CLIENT-B requires me to manually click on their respective folders to have Mail App PULL the mail in..
Am I missing something? Can this be resolved?

yeah - this is a huge problem for my work flow.. I have been using a blackberry since 9/2001 and finding this out really stops me dead in my tracks from having myself and my employees switch to iPhones..
I really hope Steve can get the engineering folks to spend some cycles on this.. PUSH should aply to all folders, not just the inbox...

Mail notes and iphone notes

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this. Since installing snow leopard I've found that when my iphone synchs with my mac the notes on the iphone, which with leopard were put into mail's notes folder, now also appear in the inbox. If you delete them there they also disappear from the notes folder. Then if you synch again with the iphone, they're deleted there too, forcing you to retrieve them from backup files. (Which for various reasons is quite a complicated process)
Notes created within mail on the mac also now appear in the inbox in the same way.
You can stop the iphone synching notes by removing the check mark from the relevant pane when the iphone is connected, but there doesn't seem to be any way to turn this feature off. Does anyone know of one? I've asked in an apple shop and they think this is a new feature of snow leopard (ie not a bug).
I use the notes app on my iphone a lot for reminders, shopping lists, ideas and so on, and it's sometimes useful to be able to transfer text to my mac via synching notes, but I can no longer do this without the notes cluttering up my inbox. It's a trivial problem but quite annoying.

Since my post I've been reading others' posts on the subject (which I probably should have done first) and discovered the solution. You can switch off the feature through mail preferences>accounts>mailbox behaviors, where you de-check the 'show notes in inbox'. I've also discovered this feature exists in leopard, but am guessing it was off by default in that, and on by default in snow leopard, which is probably why so many people only noticed it after installing snow leopard, as I did.

More mail issues and slooooooow

OK the slowness might be to do with spotlight, will see in the morning but dreamweaver is dreadful.
But my main issue is in mail. Using imap, when I drag messages from my inbox to a folder for filing - sometimes it does, most times it doesn't. Also can't drag attachments from emails onto the desktop or any folders anymore, have to click and save to.
Thoughts?

Mail rules and Iphone

Hi, I use Mail on my Mac with rules set up to automatically sort my messages into folders as they arrive. Problem is that once a message is moved into a folder, it never arrives onto my phone. I can see messages that aren't set up to move from my top level Inbox, but not those moved due to rules. Is there any way i can use the rules and still have the messages on my Iphone? Right now my only solution seems to be to quit mail each time I walk away from my desktop but sometimes I forget.
thanks!
cindy in indy

On your iPhone mail with rules will go to your "All Mail" folder while Mail.app is running. When mail.app is closed they will all go to your inbox.
Are you using gmail with IMAP? If you are then you can mirror the rules you have set up on your mac to be identical in the gmail server. I believe this will make your iPhone look like your mac does with the "labels" becoming folders. I have not tested that, so try it and see if it works.
