Exchange IMAP in iCal

Is it possible to set up an Exchange Imap account in iCal?
The only 'exchange' option is 'exchange 2007' which does not appear to work.
I have set up the account in iMail, it works fine and i can see the calendar folder in list on the left and it contains all my events.

Hi Alistair,
IMAP is specifically email related, calendars are served by CalDAV.
iCal is only compatible to connect via CalDAV to Exchange 2007 or later. It will not work with eariler versions of Exchange.
Best wishes

How to choose between Exchange 2007 and Exchange IMAP if you have choice?

I'm running a silver intel macpro at a company that is predominantly PC.
I just installed snow leopard and have an Exchange account that I had already moved to Exchange IMAP so I could access it with Leopard (although I was never able to get it to work under Leopard).
Ideally I'd like to use Mail/iCal as much as possible for interacting with Exchange, and only revert to XP under Fusion occasaionally.
Given that goal, would appreciate any insights into whether I'd be better off connecting via Exchange 2007 or Exchange IMAP.
Thanks.

Thanks for info - I was unable to get mail to autoconfigure to my exchange account, but after I configured iCal, it correctly configured mail (and address book) to access my exchange server.
I'm thrilled so far with what I've seen - it's so refreshing to be able to use my Mac apps for work.
Just to clarify, if I set up my account using IMAP, would I notice any differences in functionality, or is just a matter of ease of setup?

Remove Exchange Calendar from iCal

I have an Exchange Calendar in iCal (Mountain Lion) that I want to remove. How can I do this? If I select it and choose Edit the Delete option is greyed out. The account is not listed in Preferences > Advanced either.
I want to delete it because every time I receive an invitiation in Outlook for Mac, the invite is being placed in the iCal calendar, but does not appear in my Outlook calendar.

I think I discovered where iCal/Calendar is getting the Exchange calendar data from. Initially I wondered whether the iPad/iPhone were doing something odd, but no, the Exchange mail account was set to sync Contacts and Calendar on both, via Active Sync.
I then plugged both devices into the Macbook and opened iTunes and checked the Info tab - "Sync Calendars" was not ticked.
I then discovered that in Mountain Lion a change was made to the Mac System Preferences under Mail, Contacts and Calendar - I saw my Exchange account listed and so clicked to edit it. It brought up a screen showing that Calendar was ticked. I unticked this and my appointments sent to me in Outlook are no longer appearing in ical - which is what i wanted.
Hope this might help someone else.

How to get Exchange ActiveSync, MobileMe, iCal, and AddressBook to coexist

From reading these forums, I have come to understand that an ActiveSync-enabled iP3G will not sync with iCal and AddressBook running on my iMac. The workaround proposed is to get a MobileMe account so that the iMac's information is made available to 'the cloud', from where it is pushed to the iP3G, thus making my iMac's contacts and calendars available on the iP3G.
My present desktop setup involves Entourage 2004 communicating with my company's Exchange Server to offer up my email, and, through Entourage's Sync Services preference, place my Exchange calendar into iCal. (I use Sync Services only for calendar events, not contacts.) Thus, iCal on my desktop shows an "Entourage" calendar generated by that program, and additional Personal and Children calendars; my AddressBook has only personal contacts, and not any Exchange contact information.
So, the iP3G will now get business mail, business contacts, and business calendar using ActiveSync directly from the Exchange server. Using the MobileMe workaround will allow AddressBook to offer my personal contacts to the cloud, from where they will be pushed to the iP3G, and that is great. The MobileMe workaround will also send my iCal calendars to the cloud and then the iP3G, and this is what leads to my question.
iCal already has a business events calendar called "Entourage", and I assume this calendar will get pushed to the iP3G along with the Personal and Children calendars that are on my iMac. The iP3G is also getting a business events calendar pushed to it through ActiveSync. How does one avoid the resulting duplication of business events on the iP3G. One solution would be to turn off Sync Services for events in Entourage so that it does not create its calendar in iCal, but I would prefer to avoid this as I like seeing all my calendars in one place (in iCal) on my desktop.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The minimum requirement for iCloud on your Mac is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Mail account types exchange imap vs exchange 2007 vs Gmail imap

I have an 'Exchange imap' account type that went on the fritz when I had to change my password. I think I did enough to it to mess it up forever so I wanted to just rebuild the account from scratch. However, when I went in to create the same account again there is no option for 'exchange imap'; just 'pop', 'exchange 2007', and 'imap'. I have two other account that are 'gmail imap' and there is no option for that either.
Where do these account type designations come from that there are no options for and will I be loosing any functionality by picking one or the other of the regular account types?

also, under the old account that i screwed up the settings for there is a space for 'outlook web access' that doesn't appear if i recreate the account using either 'exchange 2007' or 'imap'

Exchange IMAP

Does anyone here experience can't read attachment from Mail using Exchange IMAP? i have problem with this since my company configured our Exchange server to use IMAP protocol, i can't read any Microsoft Document (.xls, .doc, .ppt) on this account,
i only see mime attachment something at the very bottom,
but im still able to read PDF type (.pdf)

Through Entourage, I sent a meeting request from one of my Exchange accounts to a second one (two different servers and domains). The second account (which is synced on my iPhone) checks for mail and keeps trying to download the request, but will not do so (even though it says it has completed the download).
Now, I then sent a meeting request from my second account to itself (using myself as the invitee) and it came through on the iPhone via e-mail just fine. However, nothing shows up on the calendar, and I would not expect it to do so since the way you get Exchange to work on an iPhone at this point is through IMAP4. IMAP4 is an e-mail only protocol, as I understand it. It will not sync calendars or contacts. That is done through iTunes on the iPhone. So, you would need to acccept the meeting through Entourage and then sync with your iPhone.

IMAP vs Exchange IMAP Differences

I've searched high and low and can't seem to find any documentation on the differences between a Mail IMAP vs Exchange IMAP account. If no one has this info, I could possibly set up both account types and then compare their preference settings. Thanks for any info.

Not to my knowledge all IMAP email is of a Push type where the email program is basically in constant contact with the IMAP server to get mail as it arrives on the servers inbox for your account. Now maybe Mac Mail handles that differently but as I don't use Mac Mail I'm not sure. I use Thunderbird and if I have my Mac running with Tbird open and my PC right next to it on my desk with Tbird open and a new message comes into one of my IMAP accounts it show up on both system at the same time.
Have no idea how MS Exchange works but I would think it is very similar. Exchange is Exchange. It is Not Exchange/IMAP. As far as I know.

Mail disappears/re-appears with exchange imap?

first off the specs and versions:
mbp running os 10.6.7
mail version 4.5 (1084)
i have been using mail.app for my email for over a year now, and have had this issue all along. i have my fetch timer set to one minute, and what happens is that i will receive an email, and then a minute later it disappears for a moment, then immediately re-appears. this happens with all of my email messages regardless of where or who sent them.
i connect to an exchange 2003 server, so my account is setup as an exchange imap. i have tried deleting and rebuilding the account to no avail. i have also tried to rebuild my inbox, and that didn't work either.
this issue does not happen with entourage 2008 (version 12.2.9 (110113)), but i don't want to use that for my mail.... just personal preference...
any ideas what else to check or things to do? i've lived with this for over a year, but i'd like to get it resolved....
thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you could try deleting the current keychain entry, then quit Mail.app. Open Mail.app again, when it asks for the password go ahead and type it in then just click Always Trust, etc. to see if it can hold onto that certificate this second time around. You also might have more than one entry in the Keychain list, so hunt around there a little to make sure you get everything deleted related to your Zimbra/Exchange IMAP accont.

HT1277 Exchange IMAP Config on Mail in OSX 10.9.2

Hi,
has anybody tried to configure Exchange IMAP in 10.9.2? I have a Zimbra plattform, which needs Exchange IMAP to enable all services incl calendaring.
Any advise is most appreciated.
Thanks
Shahab

Exchange IMAP updates only on Mail quit

My configuration is as follows:
Account on Exchange 2003 server ("Exchange IMAP" kind, nothing else is supported with this server)
Mail 6.5 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4
Other mail clients
Behaviour is as follows:
On all mail clients except Mail, when I move a message from Inbox to a (server-stored) IMAP folder the other clients see this and update.
On Mail, when I move a message from Inbox to the other folder, the server does not get updated.
Weirder still, when AppleScript asks Mail for a list of the messages in the Inbox, the moved message is still there.
On all mail clients including Mail, when I mark a message as read or unread in any folder, the other clients see this and update
When I tell Mail to 'Synchronize', it still does not update the server
When I quit Mail, it does update the server.
Any thoughts!?

Well over a year later, and I still have this problem. I've used Keyboard Maestro to quit, wait a few seconds and start Mail.app with a single keystroke. It's a hack, I blame our old Exchange 2003 server, and am just waiting for it to be upgraded to a newer version.

Huge Macmail on ML issues with Exchange Imap

I can't seem to get Macmail on a new Macbook Pro with ML to work with our Exchange Imap server. The weird thing is that we have another new Macbook (with ML) that I created using an older Mac's Time Machine and had no issues with Macmail. The mail settings are identical!

How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

For all of the wonderful and awesome things Apple has done and is doing (including winning me over from the Microsoft camp) there are certain things they absolutely are failing at. Syncing is one of them. If you want/need Exchange tasks synced with iOS 5 Reminders, USE OFFICE 2011 on Mac OSX Lion instead of iCal, Mail and Address Book and then LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!! Works beautifully... Exchange notes work great on Mac in Office 2011 but doesn't yet sync to iPhone notes (hopefully that will eventually get there too). Pass this around, I spent hours to figure this out...

Multiple Exchange IMAP

I am running a mail server (Kerio Connect) that supports Exchange IMAP in Snow Leopard
Macs tested were running 10.6.8 with latest updates.
In apple mail, it will only let me have one active Exchange IMAP account...
For business, I use two separate accounts...
[email protected]
[email protected]
I can connect helpdesk as IMAP and not have any issues when chattphotos is on the Exchange IMAP, but it still doesn't explain why...
Which brings me to my question, Why does Mail only let me have one Exchange IMAP account?

I have the same problem in 10.7.3: Once I select exchange Imap for my hospital email, I cannot then choose exchange imap for my university email. Its one or the other.
Has anyone found a solution??
Thanks,

What is the difference between IMAP and Exchange IMAP account type?

At the server side there is Exchange 2007, but I don't want to use that as there is no possibility to assign mailboxes for sent mail, so which type of account should I set - IMAP or Exchange IMAP? What is the difference between the two?
