downloads exchangeemail very slowly...painfully...
a new email will hit the 3 above devices...but not the imac...may show up after a few hours...
settings identical to macbook...
ethernet connection...internet transfer speeds are normal...

Hi, this has worked for a few...
Though all of these steps may or may not be needed, I'm including them all.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7 & 10.8…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).
Click OK.

Yosemite OS X Mail using exchange is slow

Mail is running extremely slow connecting to exchange.
Overnight, it quite working all together and would not download new messages.
I rebuilt the mail box and it's working again but is very slow.
Any suggestions for how to help this new version of Mail play better with Exchange?
Mail: Version 8.0
Yosemite: 10.10
Late 2012 MBPro/Retina

I bumped into this problem too, and found a work around. Upon retrieving mail from our Exchange email server, I would experience long delays whenever clicking to view a new email in the list. In my set up, I have a mac with a wired ethernet connection. After Yosemite installed, it created a wireless connection which was presumably used for the new "Continuity" features. After diddling around with various different solutions that didn't work, I decided to disable the wireless network yosemite created.. thinking the new continuity support may be the culprit. After disabling this extra wireless connection,... my email delays went away... no more exchange issues.
Of further interest... I had zero performance problems with other POP or IMAP clients... just exchange.
No idea if this will help you, nor why it helped me in fact, but it did completely resolve it for me. Hope it helps someone else...

Upgraded to iOS6 on iPhone 4 iPad2 "Exchange" email issues

After upgrading to iOS6 on both of my devices, I downloaded all my emails (I have a lot) from my exchange email account. Was extremely slow. When opening an email, takes a long time to display email. Tried reboot, did not fix problem, in fact it erased all the emails that I had downloaded from the exchange server and I had to download them all again. Help!

Same exact problem here with my 3GS. SMTP or IMAP email will not update since upgrade to iOS6, but can send email and attach photos via phone email. When I ask it to update email, it does the little spinny circle thing, but never stops. Can access gmail account via Safari on the phone & see current messages. Have tried restarting phone & turning off & on the account with settings. I only have one account that all my messages feed through, so there's not a lot to go wrong.

IOS4, MS Exchange Email and Wifi???

None of my MS exchange emails were coming to my iPhone 3GS (with iOS4) yesterday. Today I turned off wifi through Settings (when I was at my office) and now I can receive my MS exchange emails - through 3G and Edge.
Then I turned off 3G in settings and although slower, I did receive MS exchange emails.
Hummmm.... I wonder if this is AT&T or Apple trying to get us to use 3G or Edge exclusively to increase our Data usage?? Since we don't have to pay for wireless Data...... Or could MS exchange be holding out upgrading their software?
Now I will test my bosses' new iPhone 4 to see if I can "fix" her MS exchange email issue by turning off wifi.....

I'm having the same problem. eMail messages are downloaded, I can see that happen. However, the eMail messages are not in my iCloud Inbos. Nor do the eMail messages go to my gmail Inbox. Strangely most, but not all eMails, can be found in gmail folder "Important".
I also had the same problem with Mobile Me, unfortunely at that time I did not have a gmail account. Those missing eMails from the Mobile Me Inbos were never recovered.

Looking for help to update the certificate for my Exchange Email Account...

I'm trying to update the certificate for my Exchange Email Account...Dell had me delete the account, install the new certificate on my phone, and set up the email again...But it still won't work and acts like it can't find/use the new cert. Any suggestions besides a hard resest of the phone?

That's a great question, LSchmitz!
Is the e-mail account on your cell phone? Which device? If its on your phone, an Exchange e-mail, may need to be provisioned/ set up by your employer/ IT department.

Iphone 4 deletes exchange emails if they are read on desktop

My iphone 4 is receiving my exchange emails but as soon as I read the emails on my desktop computer, my phone deletes them. I do not have Outlook set to view "unread" messages only. It is set to read all messages. It was working fine last week until we switched to a new Exchange server. Three other people in our office have the same iphone 4 and their exchange accounts are working fine. Same thing happens on my ipad so it has to be an outlook setting somewhere. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I would 1st speak to your corporate IT department maybe there is a setting within outlook that needs to be set, as far as you iPhone I would go into setting>Mail> tap the account in question>advanced there is a delete from server setting there you may want to disable.
Good Luck!

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.

Why exchange email will not work on my ipod touch, but ok on iphone

Why will microsoft exchange email not work on my ipod touch, but with the exact same settings, it works fine on my iphone? What is the reason for this?

Try a soft reset, press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds, then release both. If still no joy, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, back up your iPod to your computer then do a Restore to Backup, if that doesn't work Restore to new through iTunes. If a full restore to new does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

Exchange email account disappears on treo pro

activesync works great on my treo pro with my corporate outlook exchange email account. but over the past two weeks, the exchange account has simply disappeared three or four times from my phone. (it is the only active account i have. i also have a yahoo account on the phone but it is set to manual updates.) for some reason the exchange account name and details are simply no longer in my list of email accounts and also not available in activesync.
this has happened most when i have not used the treo for a few hours. it is easy to reestablish the account by re-entering password etc and then re-sync everything. but it is also a troublesome pain. does anyone have an idea why this might be?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

I've never heard of the account simply disappearing. I would try a Hard Reset of the device and see what happens after that. If it continues to happen after a Hard Reset, you might want to talk to your Exchange Admin and see if they are kicking you off.

Exchange email will not work after IOS 5.1.1 update

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.

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?!?!
DJ BITTY

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?

Blackberry Desktop 6 Detects previous Exchange email and will not sync

I previously had an exchange email account setup from an employer and that is no longer the profile I am using, but Blackberry Desktop still detects it even though it is deleted in my mail settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and it still detects the previous email settings.

I am having the same issue.
Music Services Failed to Load
An unexpected error occured
This didn't happen until the other day when the new Desktop Manager was updated.
I think the issue is that my iTunes library resides on an external drive. I can't seem to find how / where to tell BB Desktop Manager where my iTunes library is. I have tried leaving my iTunes file open and that didn't work either.
I switched the music to Windows Media Player and some old music files that reside on my "C" drive were located but when I switch it back to iTunes I get the error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

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!
