Exchange mail not recognized

I put in the server, user name, password in setup but still no mail.
I also went back, deleted the account, and from the "info" menu of the iPhone screen, went to the bottom of the page and selected "advanced" "replace information on this iPhone' hoping it would create the account for me and sync. No help either. Went back added account and tried to use the "advanced" selection again. No help.
Thanks in advance.

The Exchange sync is now working for me against our corporate Exchange 2003 server, but it took a bit of trying to get it to go. Here's what I found I needed to do:
1. I had to call my corporate helpdesk to have them enable my account for remote access (aka, to let it use ActiveSync). Apparently ActiveSync isn't allowed by default in our system. Of course, I have no idea how paranoid your Exchange admins are compared to mine, but it might be worth a phone call.
2. The "Exchange server" you need to enter isn't necessarily your mail server--it's the server where ActiveSync is running. In my case, my Mac's Entourage setup hits my real Exchange mail server and when I tried to put that same server name into the iPhone, it didn't work; however, as it turns out, that's not the server where we run ActiveSync. I found out that my company runs ActiveSync on our publicly facing Outlook Web Access server (http://outlook.companyname.com). The good news for me is that now my corporate email is available from anywhere since it's based on the publicaly-facing OWA server, versus the "real" Exchange server that's behind a few layers of firewall and requires a VPN to get to from outside of work. Again, I have no idea where your company runs ActiveSync, but try your externally facing OWA server instead of your mail server.

  • Mail not recognizing new certificate, recognizing old expired certificate.

    Recently the Thawte certificate for the SSL mail server at work expired and Mail could no longer connect to our mail server. No one else in the office uses a Mac and no one else seemed to be affected. IT claimed all their certs were up to date. I contacted the fine folks at Thawte and they hooked me up with the new cert. I've added that to my X509Anchors keychain, along with the root cert from Thawte to be sure, and Mail is not recognizing it. In fact, the old expired cert is in my login keychain, so I delete it, but every time Mail attempts to connect to the mail server, the old expired cert reappears in my login keychain and it gives me the same "expired cert" error message. Temporary workaround has been to change my system date/time so it is within the valid dates of the old expired cert, but that renders my calendar useless, and other problems. What is going on? Any ideas? How can I get Mail to use the new valid cert?

    Anna,
    I am having the same issue. I am on a new laptop without my cert, so I downloaded it again from thawte but it only installs the public key, not the private key.

  • Mail not recognizing new password

    All right so I recently had to change the password on one of my Yahoo.com mail accounts because I could not remember the last one. I have this one linked up the mail application on my computer, however it is not recognizing the new password (yes, I'm typing it in correctly, in fact I'm just copy + pasting it). I also checked keychain and it didn't find any problems  apparently when I ran first aid.
    How do I get my computer to recognize my new password? This is ridiculous.

    Unfortunately it is not recognizing the password still. It recognizes the copy + pasted password on yahoo.com, but when I use the copy + pasted password with apple mail (even after deleting it) it doesn't recognize it.
    It was giving me a message that it couldn't connect when I put in the password. However I figured it out. What I had to do was copy the password from what I had, put it into the login area for yahoo.com, have firefox remember the password, then copy that password from firefox's preferences and paste that into the apple password part.
    Weird thing is though is when I looked at the two (the one I had kept typed and the copied one from the saved yahoo) they were exactly the same, so I don't know why it wasn't recognizing it.
    Thank you for replying to my question though!

  • Mail not recognized in account

    I created my new iTouch in my iMac and did first sync perfectly.
    I bought a game and synced it. No problem.
    Now in the iTouch, I confirm account and mail to access the game, as requested.
    "E-mail not valid".
    What the ** ?
    Message was edited by: Hellstan

    Did you set up the account on a device that asks you to pair a device? If so, this is the older version of sync.
    Are you using an email address in the username? [https://accounts.firefox.com/reset_password]

  • Exchange Mail not working in Mac Mail

    Hi, I've recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and since then my Exchange email has stopped working. I've reset all the settings and followed the original instructions from my email/web host and it comes up with an error message:
    "Unable to verify account information"
    It continued to work on my iPhone 4 until I set up iCloud and then it stopped there too.
    Not too sure what to try now. The servers are as my email host have stated and my username and password are the same as they've always been!
    Please offer any help you can, it's very frustrating!

    Luke:
    Sorry that I cannot give you an answer.  I am having the same problem.  I have the correct exchange settings.  I even turn off autodiscovery and set the external and internal servers to the same settings.  Mail partially works, but it will "forget" older email items when they are still in an inbox.  This is NOT an issue with iOS, so I think there is a bug in the Mail program.  I am still searching for an answer as well.  Right now I am resorting to exchange webmail on my mac.  This seems to be only a mail problem.  My calendar and tasks sync fine.

  • Exchange mail not updating?

    Howdy,
    The company I work for recently changed over to Outlook. I can check my email on a PC via outlook or I can go on through the web exchange. I use a mac for work but unfortunately IT does not support mac. The lady did tell me however I could still probably set up my email account through mac mail and then she left me to my own devices.
    I clicked on the mail icon to set up a new exchange account, typed in the information, and it seemed to work just fine. That was on 10/10. Then I didn't get any emails on 10/11- 10/16. Today (10/16) a wonderful thing happened. I got the emails I missed up til 10/14.
    I know I am getting emails because they are forwarding to my outlook account on my pc, the exchange account via the web, and my iPhone. Does anyone know why the mac mail updates at random? Also I am running a mac pro with a 3.2 ghz quad core intel 8gb of ram and Mountain Lion (ROOOAAAR... or growl I guess... whatever mountain lions do. I hope they don't hisss.)
    Also I ran the Mail Connection Doctor and it told me my connection is just fine. I show a little green bubble and everything.
    Thank you,
    Jeremy

    My guess then is that it's an issue with Exchange Web Services on the mail server, and if your IT group won't support Macs you may not be able to get much help. You could try removing the account and re-setting it and see if that makes any difference. Any idea what version of Exchange they're running?

  • Mail not recognizing digital certificate

    Hi all,
    I had a digital certificate generated by .Mac which worked fine in mail.
    Today I noticed that mail stopped giving me the option to digitally singed my mails.
    Did someone notice this behavior? Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

  • Mail not recognizing links inside emails

    Using Mountain Lion ver 10.8.2 and Mail ver 6.2
    When I open an email sent to me with Links to a website, I click on the Link and I receive this message.
    Error
    No associated application could be found.
    Any suggestions for fixing this. Cutting and pasting is getting old.
    Thanks,

    I have the same configuration - OS 10.8 and Mail 6.2 with Safari as my default browser.  My mail links still do not work.  I don't get any error message, just nothing happens.  I can right click and select "Open URL" but that's lame.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

  • Mail not recognizing servers

    I have an iMac G4, recently updated to 10.4.4 (big error?). The last two days, several of our Mail accounts (I have 5) either gave me the "offline" tilde when I brought the program up, or it worked fine. Manually going on line and "get new mail" would usually work - occasionally would return to offline status. Rebooted. That account was fine - another went "offline". Both were earthlink.net accounts. Today, those worked fine. Looked like we were home free, and then Mail won't recognize our .mac account - says "account not on server." When I go, via Safari, to .mac, our account is there, accessible, etc. Is this an issue with 10.4.4? Before upgrading, we were just fine. If so, how do I get BACK to 10.4.3? thanks.

    An update:
    Last night, after a frustrating few hours, I shut the mail program down for the night. This morning, all is well. It recognizes .mac, it keeps all my accounts on line. Solar flares? Sun spots? gremlins???
    Anyway, I see by the discussion threads there are a few others with similar problems. I'll keep watching.

  • Mail not recognizing ZIP and PDF attachments

    Since upgrading to Leopard, I have received a few emails with attachments in my work IMAP account. Some of the emails are fine (the ones with XLS and DOC attachments) and others display the attachment as a bunch of encoded text in the email (ZIP and PDF files).
    Thunderbird can read all the emails just fine, so I think that the problem is that some kind of mail setting is screwed up or it is a bug in the Apple mail client.
    Does anyone know why Apple mail would not recognize the data as an attachment?
    Here is an example of what shows up in my email:
    --Apple-Mail-17-830733730

  • Safari and Mail not recognizing IP/network after picking up new WiFi?

    Very strange behavior that has happened numerous times - and I can't figure out what is going on.  The situation is that when I travel to school and connect to the wifi network there, I'm having issues with Mail (5.1) and Safari (5.1.2).  Network CP shows me an IP address and appears all is well - however Safari does nothing (no msg that I'm "not connected to the internet") and Mail just displays the triangle with exclamation point inside ...next to each mailbox.  Interestingly, I can open up Firefox and go on my way.  So why is Firefox able to 'see' the internet (Dropbox and other apps are fine too) yet Mail/Safari is having issues?
    Here's what I've done:
    Quitting/re-opening Safari:  Safari icon bounces in dock for a minute, literally, and never opens.  Now I go to try to open it again and it doesn't even try to open - no bounce, nothing (it's actually in "not responding" mode according to the force quit box).  So I force quit, re-open and it goes right back to that same behavior - not responding.  Have to restart to get it to act normally again.
    Mail won't even quit. I have to force quit - every time that this happens.
    Anyways, I can't tell if this is MB Air specific behavior, given its wifi troubles (which I have continuously whether at home or school) - or if this is purely an OS/software issue.....or a combination? 
    Anything else I can do to help troubleshoot, let me know.  Thanks in advance.

  • SCSM Exchange Connector not recognizing custom Service Request prefix

    Hello,
    We have an Orchestrator runbook that brings over "Projects" from our Financial system into Service Manager as Service Request.   As a way to distinguish these as projects we changed the prefix from the default "SR" to "PT". 
    In all out testing everything worked fine until we installed the Exchange connector.  It won't recognize any Service Request that starts with a different prefix than "SR" (defined in the system settings).    Does anyone know of
    a way to get the Exchange connector to recognize other prefixes?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The system uses the only prefix that defined in the settings. There's no way to add support for the second prefix in Microsoft Exchange Connector. But you can create your own custom connector with the required behavior.
    Cheers,
