Exchange Email Problem

I have configured my exchange email on my iPhone. I was reading the mail on my phone and at the same time the mail got downloaded on my laptop email client. Email stays in the iPhone inbox forever doesnt delete. Any suggestions to this problem?

I don't understand your problem. What you've described is how Exchange works...
When you access an Exchange email account on your iPhone/iPad, all of the messages you see in your inbox exist on the Exchange server. Your messages are not downloaded to the phone and then deleted from the server. Technically your phone does "download" a copy of the message, but that is basically a cached copy. With Exchange you are working "live" on the server. If you delete a message on your iPhone, the message is deleted from the server, and vice versa. Your desktop client is likely an Exchange-compatible client, like Outlook, and the same is true on the desktop.
On the iPhone you can limit how much mail is shown in the inbox by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > your email account > Mail Days to Sync. Changing the number of days will change how many days of messages are available on your phone, but understand this does not delete messages from the Exchange server.
Let me know if you have questions or I need to explain things better.

IOS 7.1 and Exchange email problem

When I check my email, the iphone reloads all the emails, as if it were the first time. The only thing different is the upgrade to ios 7.1. Is anyone else experiencing this.
I have the iphone 5 and connect to an Exchange Server for work email.

Hello JohnSantaMonica,
It sounds like whenever you open your Mail app, all the Exchange emails download again as though you just set up the account. I recommend starting by closing the Mail app:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Exchange email will not work after IOS 5.1 update. Anyone else having same problem. Its been three days now I cannot get mail.

Exchange Email not working on Iphone 4S is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this?

@ w3nitro
I'm having the same issues, except only one of my Exchange accounts took a dive after upgrading to iOS 5.1. My Gmail account (set up as Exchange) works flawlessly but my native Exchange account (work e-mail) stopped working after the update.
Post update to 5.1: (work Exchange account) I could view my inbox and view individuals emails in the inbox, but I was unable to send any emails. Mail started asking for my password after the update (for the affected Exchange account) but once entered, it failed to verify.
I completley removed the Exchange account and rentered all the account settings but again, failure to verify any information. I was hoping my password might have changed but it did not. Also, maybe the IT guy at the office (not very bright) changed some settings but the only difference is the new iOS update.
And while playing with the iPhone trying to make it work again, I noticed something really weird. Old emails (2-3 weeks) from multiple email accounts to include the inop Exchange account started showing up again on the pull down notification menu. I would clear these out of the notificaion menu but they always kept reapearing; very strange.

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot insult it. I have not problem as on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong.

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot install it. I have no problem my work email on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong. Why I try to set up the email I get the message that it cannot connect to this server.

Try going into System Prefereces then Mail, Cintacts & Calendars then click on the Microsoft Exchange link on the right. Type in your email address and password and allow it to set it up automatically.
Make sure your Mac is updated to the newest version of Mail.
If that still fails then I suggest you switch email clients. I don't care for the built in mail program. IMHO it is very buggy.

Problem with exchange email

Hi, I just purchased an iPhone 3G. I setup my exchange email at the office. When I am connected to the Wi-Fi network at the office the email, calendar, and contacts will sync perfectly. Once I disconnect from the Wi-Fi, the email will sync just fine until I connect to another Wi-Fi network, or until the phone locks up (which happened yesterday after having the phone 3 days, extremely disappointing). Any advice?

I've put small sleeps in without help. I don't know how long it might be taking. I don't want to keep adding delays until the app appears to hang. Also this is a more recent phenomena, it used to work fine.
We did have some replication problems in the past but those were alleviated by using the -domaincontroller parameter and making sure all commands run on the same server.
the weird thing is if it is replication I don't know to what. The object is indeed gone or I would get an "already exists" error when I create the user object. the server does not see any object but the address policy still sees the addresses somewhere.

IOS6...exchange email account problems....iPad

I just installed iOS6 on my iPhone 4 and "new iPad"....had a lot of issues with icloud but seemed to have resolved those issues. However, my exchange email and hotmail live account will not sync on my iPad. The iPhone appears to have adapted well, but the iPad will not sync email with either account. I actually went as far as deleting both accounts on the iPad and re-installing. Upon installation the iPad downloads all email, but still will not push and sync future messages. Any ideas?!?!

UPDATE!
I think it has something to do with the iCloud. It appears that when I am able to view the storage data in the iCloud, the email push / sync works fine. However, for unknown reasons, sometimes the iPad looses availablilty to iCloud. At that point, the push / sync no longer works. I have to shut off and reboot the iPad in order for it to reconnect with iCloud.
I'm not sure why the iCloud is affecting hotmail and microsoft exchange email accounts, but it appears that this is when the function no longer works.
Is anyone else having this same issue?

Problem with Exchange email in Yosemite

My Exchange email account has two addresses associated with it. On the iPhone (6, iOS 8.1), it sees both of them, but with my upgrade to Yosemite, it sees only the emails with the address listed in Accounts. Incoming emails to the other address appear on the iPhone, but not on my MacBook Pro (Retina, mid 2012). There is no way to give another address in Accounts, and you cannot add an additional Exchange account with the same username. Does anybody have a solution?

Terribly sorry for the long delay in replying (Work, Life, etc. BUSY).
The send as option is set to "Account of selected mailbox". I set it to the flast@ account specifically yet the behavior does not change.
Still not working as it should in Yosemite either.

Iphone 6 Email Problem on Exchange

Does anyone know why I am able to receive my exchange emails on my home wifi but not on cellular? As soon as I get home all of my emails come through but any time i leave my house, I cannot send or receive emails. Thanks in advance for your help...if you can!!

Try a reset, no data loss hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Exchange Emails over WiFi

For the last 3 days or so, I'm not able to get my exchange emails over wifi on my mac and iPhone 5 (mail app). The home wifi is working just fine as i'm able to connect and get all the other mails from gmail and hotmail but when it comes to my exchange account, I get an error 'can't connect due to network error'.
Although, I'm able to get my exchange emails over cellular data connection both on my mac and iPhone. Please suggest.

Hi Razmee,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried that but my IT guys are a nocturnal bunch of grumps. It's not officially a work appliance, therefore not officially their problem. The fact I spend my own dollars to improve my efficiency and contactability is lost on them.
Cheers

Exchange Emails Not Showing Up On IPhone with Outlook Client Closed

I have been trying to fix this problem and I want to see if anybody else has run across this issue and found the fix. I am having a problem accessing Exchange Emails from my work system, but only under the following scenario:
1) When my work PC is powered on, logged in, and Outlook client is up and active I can send and receive emails on my IPhone with no problems and it correctly displays read and unread messages.
but...
2) When I close my Outlook client on my PC my IPhone is no longer able to retrieve new email messages. I have had this problem since first getting the 3G phone in August of '08 and it is has been updated with each firmware release but the problem persists.
This is driving me crazy, any help or confirmation that others are experiencing the problem is much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

IOS 8 Exchange Email no longer Pushes

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 my exchange email has gone silent. I no longer get emails pushed to my phone (whether on WiFi or LTE). Instead, I have to open up the Mail application and it will then update with new emails.
I have reset the phone and checked the settings. Nothing is different, but exchange emails do not push to my iPhone 5 any longer using iOS 8.
Is there a fix for this, or will this require a new release?

I am experiencing a similar symptom - with iOS8 on iPhone 6, I am having issues with Exchange push mail. I basically backed-up my old phone and restored to my new phone like the times I did it every time I got a new iPhone. It always worked fine up until now.
My work-around is to install the Microsoft OWA app, but I prefer using the native Mail app.
Anyone has any ideas? Of course, I'm sure most of us having this problem have already tried the entry-level troubleshooting steps such as:
1. Resetting the phone
2. Removing the account and adding it again
3. Checked on settings to make sure it is set to 'Push'
It'll be helpful if someone can comment on this, hoping to find a solution!

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Ipad mini 3 can't sync with microsoft exchange email (iphone 6 can)

I have an iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 (verizon). Both are set up the exact same. At work, I am able access Microsoft Exchange email using the iPhone mail app with wifi. (I work underground and have no access to cell service) However, the iPad Mini will not allow me to access my email over wifi using the mail app.
Here is the tricky part. 1)wifi works perfectly on the iPad Mini for all other functions (safari, other apps, etc.). 2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem. I am not using my cellular connectivity at home, so it has nothing to do with that.
Nobody at work seems to be able to figure it out. Is it a MAC address issue, IP address or a blocked port? Help me please!
All passwords and other settings are the same on the iPhone and iPad. Also, this is not a gmail exchange account. I already know that gmail does not support new exchange accounts. This is a work hosted email.

Here is what I gather from my reading:
-- delete you exchange account then re-configure. Shakes things up.
-- reboot device.
-- re-install from backup.
-- use microsoft outlook for ipad. ( some business do not allow. check. Why? caches info on amazon cloud. ) You should try as a trial at least.
2)when I get home (or anywhere else) the iPad mini is able to access my work email without a problem.
VPN vs no VPN? Would seem there is a diff here.
Re-boot ipad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. page 128 iPad user manual.
force power down if the above give you trouble.
Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more. Hold until the Apple logo appears.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
   Do a full backup of your device. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update). This could void your warranty.

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.
