Exchange & Mail Settings?

I have been using Apple Mail in OS X and from the Web (FireFox and Safari) to access my work mail on an Exchange server. However, during Xmas break, IT changed something and "This combination is no longer supported." (I don't want support. I just want it to get my #@$%^&* mail!)
They suggested that I go back to the Outlook Client for Mac which would mean installing OS 9 back onto my laptop which is the only place in OS X I have had problems and I worked hard and spent a lot of money to upgrade all apps so avoid this.
They claim that the only reason it won't work is because Apple Mail doesn't support the correct path that is the actual user ID on the Exchange (viz. XXXXUSD\joe smith\joe.smith rather than simply joe.smith). My email address is [email protected] to the outside world. Isn't the problem the space in the directory on the Exchange server? Wouldn't the problem be solved with a global search and replace on the server to get rid of all of the spaces in the paths? Isn't there some way around this? (I already tried POMONAUSD\raymond%20harder\raymond.harder)
Any suggestions? (BESIDES QUITTING MY CUSHY GOVT. JOB AND STARTING MY OWN COMPANY WHERE I WOULD HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF ALL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AND COULD USE SENDMAIL AND APPLE UNIX WITH A STAFF WHOM I HIRED SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO HOLD THEIR HANDS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ALL IDIOTS!!! [Sorry - I didn't take my pills today]).

so why have three if the imap is the same as exchange?
Because IMAP is not the same as exchange. Exchange supports IMAP protocols as part of its implementation. Thats how the iPhone supports Exchange - over IMAP. It would not be accurate to just List IMAP and POP by itself.
However Apple doesn't officially list Exchange, it [specifies|http://www.apple.com/iphone/questionsandanswers.html]
Phone supports the most popular email standards — IMAP and POP3. Check with your email provider to make sure the provider uses these standards. iPhone works with most popular email services, including Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, AOL, and .Mac Mail. Yahoo! Mail supports “push” email and can automatically deliver new email messages to your iPhone.

Exchange Mail - Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Hello. I am in Canada and have several email accounts set up here......Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars......
I have my Telus set up as POP (I had to do a trick to avoid IMAP), 4 Gmail accounts and my iCloud account. They all work fine at home at other local Hot Spots.
BUT for some reason when I am in the USA I can only receive mail most of the times but never am I able to send.
Any one know why....and what is the fix for it?
Thank You

Having the same problem with mail on 4th gen iPod touch.
There's a discussion going on over at the iPod forum on the same thing:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1392
Seems this is most likely a gmail SMTP problem with 3rd party mail clients, including Apple Mail and iPod, iPhone mail.
Just browsed gmail forums and found this:

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone and many of my settings have defaulted. Was this set by my business or by exchange?

I have just setup an exchange mail account on my iphone to acces smy business emails and many of my settings have defaulted. As an example, my passcode has defaulted to a minimum of 6 digits and my phone will erase all data after 10 failed attempts. These are now greyed out and I cannot change them.
Is this a default set by Apple/Microsoft?
Or was this a setting enforced by my company, whose mail exchange I am accessing?

ditto what KT said...the passcode requirement enables the encryption of the local storage of your device and auditing of that policy ..it protects your organization AND you from potential data loss and a mandatory reporting obligation..imagine how miserable it would be to see the name of your organization on the front page of your local newspaper with a story about data loss....every IT and risk management department's worst nightmare

General Mail settings won't open and Exchange account won't recieve mails

Here is a strange problem:
The Exchange mail account stopped working on my iPad after several month os working beutifully.
The issues:
New mails won't arrive, it looks like the exchange account is looping forever when trying to get new mails. (The network indicator is spinning.)
I can no longer open the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" setings, when clicked it marks the settings row but does not open any settings. After some minutes the Setting application ends and the iPad returns to the home screen.
I've tried:
Restarting the iPad - no help,
"hard" restart (hold down home+power for 10sec) - no help,
Upgrading from 3.2.1 to iOS 3.2.2 - no help,
restoring from an old backup (Edit: to be clear: I reset to factory settins and then restored to an old backup) - no help.
The last thing I tried was restoring the iPad to factory settings and register it in iTunes as a new iPad (thus completely reverting all changes) - this removed the Exchange account and when I re-added it, everything worked as it should.
However... I want my things I have in the backup... Anyone has an idea of either how to fix this issue without deleting everything on the iPad or how to restore a backup without getting the Exchange account setup?
Is there a "back-door" to removing an email account (or all accounts, or even all settings)?
Or perhaps a backup setting where you can choose what parts of a backup to restore? (So I can skip the exchange mail account settings.)

(My Apple account got messed up??!)
I decided to take the not so very nice road forward.
I reset my iPad to factory settings and restored it as a new iPad.
Then manually re-added all content I managed to backup (photos using a image transfer tool, the rest "pen and paper" style).
This way, the exchange account was recreated (exactly the same as before) and now it works again, just as it did before the hickup.
I still have a lot of info lost from the backup (game saves etc), so if anyone knows how to extract such things from the iPad backup that would be great!
Hope you get your issue solved eventually! The "hard way" worked for me but the whole situation has made me lower the iPad score, I don't love it as much as I did before this happend....

Exchange mail cannot work after upgrade to ios 8.3

just upgraded the ios to 8.3 yesterday, and the exchange mail could not work since then. no luck even after deleting and re-add the account.
anyone facing the same problem?
i will never trust Apple next time to upgrade the new OS at the first day.
iPhone 6

I have exactly the same problem. When I make a change in Settings Exchange checks itself off implying that it is working, but I keep getting "Cannot Reach Server" message whenever I try to get email.
I have become very leery of accepting the new IOS upgrades. There is always a problem.

N97 out of memmory (1500 exchange mails on C driv...

My N97 gave me an out of memmory msg the other day and it has been running REALLY slowly and some times has problems showing stuff on the home screen. (like pcitures of favorite contacts) and mails in the "Mail for Exchange" box.
I have 1500 or so e-mails on the phone, and I think they are stored on the C drive take up all the space. Is this the "memmory" I am out of, and if so, how do I store the exchange mails on my E Drive?
Any help would be much apreciated.
Thank you.

Replaced my buggy Nokia N97 with a HTC Hero.
Besides the camera and the real keyboard the HTC Hero pawned the N97 on every level.

if you are using nokia messaging app there is no way to store them anywhere else but the c drive. if you are using another program you might be able to store it in the e memory.
back up all your data and try this #2 it might help your phone behave a bit better.
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

Send e-mail settings to smartphone via service messages?

Good Day,
Is it possible to send e-mail settings to a blackberry phone via some form of service message so the phone user does not have to manually set it up?
We recently had to reinstall our Exchange server and are now having to change the e-mail settings on all our staff members phone's, however, some of these staff members are not in the same city as I.T. support and as the staff members are not very computer/smartphone literate, it will be difficult for us to walk them through on how to change the e-mail settings, especially if the autodiscovery does not report the settings correctly to the phone and the domain/server settings has to be entered manually.
One staff member in particular, has a Blackberry curve 9300.
Any suggestion's will be appreciated as we would prefer to, as well as in the future, be able to update the phones with the necissary settings by means of some form of service message rather than error prone manual intervention.
Regards
Andre T. Dreyer
Solved!

OK...then the answer is, well, maybe. It would require compromise of your security ethics.
One way to do what you desire is for you to log into the users BIS account on their carriers BIS website and configure the email account there...doing so would, of course, require you to know the users BIS credentials. Of course, this also would require that the carrier actually have such a website...not all do.
Another way would be to ring up the users carrier and impersonate the user, and have the carrier agent configure the email account.
If the employer provides the devices as well as the service plan to the user, then I suppose the security compromise required is less since, technically, both belong to the company, not the user. But, if these are BYOD devices and/or the carrier account does not belong to the employer, then you would be in essence hacking into the users account to accomplish this.
Good luck!

Need some help with Mail settings

I need some help on what mail settings to use. Basically I want my Mac's Mail.app synced with my iPhone's mail.app and everything on the gmail server to be archived and have it so that i do not need to download all the archived emails that are on gmail to either mail.app, if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

You are not alone. I can't get mail to work with our exchange server no matter what I do. I set Entourage up in less than 2 minutes by entering some simple information. I am using the latest versions of Leopard and Mail and it just refuses to connect.
For instance, in Entourage I entered my user name, password and the exchange server name and that was it. Got my mail and it works great. Mail wants to know the SMTP server name? What SMTP server? No matter what information I put in that field it gives me an error saying it can'tr connect to the SMTP server. That is because it is an exchange server not an SMTP server I guess. Also, even when I enter the exact same information as I did with Entourage, mail refuses to connect with it saying to "check the connection". The connection works fine, as Entourage is having no problems sending or receiving mail. With Entourage there is a LDAP setting but no where in Mail can you enter what the LDAP server is. At least is doesn't use that terminology anywhere.
What do you have to do to get Mail to work with an exchange server?

Exchange Mail Internal/External

I have Exchange mail working on my ipads externally and cellular. When employees hop on to my Wi-Fi access point on our company network, the external mail server no longer works. "mail.company.com". I can change the mail server on the exchange account on the ipad to the internal IP address of our mail server, and it works fine.
Does anyone know how to get the "mail.company.com" to work both internally and externally? Ive tried DNS settings....HELP!

I think you'll do better to ask in this forum area:

How to include the exchange sub folder's unread mail into the "UNREAD" group in default exchange mail app in iPhone ?

I am using ios 7.0.2. I have many sub folders in my exchange mail box. Problem is when any mail comes to the sub folder, it is not counted as unread mail and it also does not be visible under the unread mail group. The unread mail group only shows the unread mails which have come directly to inbox but not the mails which comes to the sub folder according to the set rule. Have any one noticed this ridiculous thing? Is there any solution or it's a bug??

I have the same problem. On the IPad and IPhone I can easilly connect to our Exchange server. When setting up a MacBook Air, using the same settings (account/server address etc) it doesn't work...
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

TS3899 I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails in my account

I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails stored on my ipad.

That option depends on what kind of mail account it is. On an Exchange account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tap the account and you should see "Mail days to sync." If that option isn't there, you won't be able to change it. You could always clean up your inbox on the server.

I can't open mail settings in ios5

When I go to 'mail, calendar, and contacts' in settings, it hangs. My company has active sync enabled and i had setup my sync with exchange prior to upgrading to IOS 5. Now it won't load any mail or mail settings. The calendar for some strange reason seems to work. Anyone else having this issue?

Re:: to my previous post....
It turns out, after I have disabled iCloud on my MacMini ( I deslected all options, and signed out from iCloud ) and ater restoring the phone one more time to iOS5.0, now everything is working just fine.
I am pretty sure, I didn't have to restore the phone
(turn off the phone, then enter DFU mode by pressing power+home button for 10seconds untill black screen, then release power button and keep holding home button for another 10 seconds, doing all this with iTunes started)
and it would have been sufficient to just disable all iCloud settings on my Mac and sign out from iCloud but I can't be now 100% sure which one did it.
During the restore, I chose "Do not use iCloud" when asked.
I have deleted iCloud from phone prior to all these actions, but it did not help. It might be necessary though, to sign out from iCloud from your devices.
Now, Mail settings can be accessed, I have setup my Gmail and Yahoo accounts with no issues. Everything works just fine.
Now, I will have to search for iCloud documentation, because it definately needs better understanding.
iCloud takes presedence over all your settings and it is not clear in what manner it is doing it.
I hope this helps, and good luck..

Exchange mail setup - unable to verify certificate

Thereafter i get the error message "failed account verification"
Does anyone know what the issue / workaround here is?

Manual Exchange mail sync works but auto doesnt

Hi
We have a problem with one of our iphone 4's. Weve got it set up to use an exchange account and it works fine, but only when you press the manual update button in the email or calendar window.
If you leave it to sync automatically then it doesn't work, you never get any new email. Go to the mail page, hit the update button to do a manual check, and you get email !
Other iphones are fine here.
Any ideas?
Olly

Finally, finally got my first gen iphone to work properly with exchange for work email. I've tried most of the other solutions suggested by all these forum threads trying to address this issue. Hopefully, this will help some of you who have been frustrated by your iphone's inability to access work email! No server adjustments required!
My iphone exchange situation: calendar exchange worked, could send emails and see all my inbox folders but received "failed to connect to server" message when retrieving emails.
I have many folders in my email exchange inbox and many rules setup (e.g. if email from John Doe comes in move to John Doe folder).
First, I deleted my exchange account on the iphone so I could start from scratch. Then in Outlook, I had to move all emails from my inbox folder to another folder. I guess this somehow clears the pipes for the iphone/exchange communication to work.
Second, I recreated the exchange account on the iphone. Calendar sync worked like before. I sent a test email to myself using Outlook. Miraculously, the iphone retrieved it! In my previous 50 or so attempts this never worked.
But then I noticed when I tried to go into one of the folders where a rule was applied (e.g. move email to this folder if sent from John Doe) it would not retrieve email and I got the usual annoying "failed to connect to server" error message. I suspect you need to remove all rules created before setting up your iphone exchange account and then recreate the rules. So far, this has worked.
My co-workers (with 1st gen and 3g iphones) have applied these same steps with positive results. Hope this helps some of you who can't easily adjust your company's exchange server settings or can't get the IT folks to do it because they don't officially support the iphone. Enjoy!
