Exchange mail unusable for business

I just set up my new Ipod Touch for my company Exchange Server and noticed that only the inbox is updated. All my subfolders, where 99% of all my mails end up, are only updated when I manually enter them.
Searching these forums I found out that there is nothing to do about this at the moment - it is simply not implemented to update the subfolders automaticly.
In my opinion this is a huge problem, and should be handled as soon as possible. One of the main reasons for having a smartphone'ish device for me was the remote mail access. The whole segment of business people is more or less cut off if this isn't fixed.
Does anybody know if this is something Apple is looking at?

Are you pushing your mail? Go to settings and change Push from manually to once an hour. Don't do 15 minutes because that drains your battery. Try that. Your mail should come in once an hour.

Mail program for business purposes - what is the best one?

I own a business that runs out of my house. Its very email intensive. I probably send/receive about 400 msgs a day. I need something that is similar to Outlook. I have entourage but Im just not happy with it. Is there a better mail program I should consider? Would Mail be okay for me or is it too bare bones? Thanks
Sam

Hello Sam.
Entourage is most similar to Outlook and I'm not aware of another OS X email client that comes as close in comparison.
Although some may consider Mail to be too bare bones, it really depends on your needs and intended use. I've always used Outlook at work and I consider Outlook the definition of a bloated application which is typical for MS that includes more features and options that the majority of users will never need or use.
The number of messages sent and received on a daily basis is irrelevant IMO. Give Mail a try/test for about a month or so. You can import all mailboxes/messages from Entourage to Mail and you can import Entourage address book contacts to the Apple Address Book or use the Entourage sync function.

Exchange mail works on iOS 8.1 Mail but not Yosemite Mail?

Hi.
I have a new email address from a new job, and I have it working fine on my iPhone and iPad both on 8.1
But the exact same settings won't work in Mail on Yosemite on my Macbook Air
Anyone have any ideas why?
This is the error I get on my Air:
The server returned the error: Connections to host webmail.lawtoncommsgroup.com on the default ports failed.
Could not connect to this Exchange Server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account Preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab of the Account preferences.
My network connection is fine, and all of my other email accounts in Mail are working perfectly - including another one to a different Exchange account for a different job.
Many thanks
H

I have the exact same issue! Works smooth as butter on iOS 8.1 but not Yosemite... I'm running the pre-seed beta Yosemite update which supposedly fixes some Exchange issues but it hasn't fixed this one!
Exchange remains unusable for me in Apple Mail in Yosemite...

Instead of "Mailbox busy", Mail asks for password, long delay

We're testing Mail as a replacement for Eudora at my place of work. There is a POP account (not .mac) that is checked by five people. Using Eudora 6.x, if one person was checking the account, anybody else trying to check would get a Mailbox Busy message. Using Mail, you'd get an alert symbol next to the mailbox in the mailbox list, but next time mail was checked and the mailbox wasn't busy, it would work fine.
We just switched to a new mail server yesterday (on a Vereo host?) and now, though Eudora is behaving as before if the account is busy, Mail will pop up a box saying the password wasn't recognized, asking for the correct password, and then there's a loooong delay while it times out.
I presume the new server is sending some kind of busy message that Mail interprets incorrectly, but it's a show-stopper for us. Currently our options are:
1. Stop using a shared mailbox (my personal preference, but the actual users might not go for it)
2. Find out from the provider why the new server is causing this behavior (fat chance--they're likely to blame it on our weird Apple software)
3. Find out how to make Mail interpret the busy signal correctly.
4. Forward the account's mail to all the users' own addresses, instead of having them check that account themselves (am doing this now, will see how it works out. It will require more storage space on the server, at a minimum.)
I'm trying to find out if the server supports IMAP but in any case that would not be a workable solution for us.
Any feedback or enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.

"More Like this" entry " Phantom Mail Account won't let go! Steven Shmerler SASNET Design, New York Oct 10, 2011 7:56 PM" gave me a clue, which after 15 minutes without annoying message, seems to work.
Went to Mail Preferences/ Accounts/ Account Information/ Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)/ Edit SMTP Server List...
There were four (count them, 4) references to Earthlink. I deleted them, restarted Mail, and so far so good.
Thanks

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely
Ketil Hothorp

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

TS3899 Custom Domain of Gmail account(google app for business) greyed out(disabled) in iOS7 mail for no reason.

Dear guys,
I have a free/standard version of google app for business with @simmonstaiwan.com.tw as our domain. One of our user's email account one day suddenly cannot access her email account that was already setup in iOS 7 mail app. Only her company gmail acct grey out, her other personal email accounts are working just fine.
First, I thought it was her iPhone5's issue. Therefore I tried to remove the email account and re-added it back. No work. So I thought maybe it's the custome domain gmail account issue. So, I added her email account to my iPhone4s with iOS7 with correct account name and password. Still not working, the account added successful and is enable, but I just cannot click into or onto that account and see any emails. That account name just greyed out for no reason.
So, I grab an iPad with iOS6 on it and added that account onto the machine. It worked!! Looks like that email account(gmail) only worked on iOS6 device but not iOS7. May I know maybe what really caused this to occur?
Any comments or suggestions or thoughts are very welcome and will be helpful for me to debug.
Best Regards,
Jay Lin

You set it up, and you failed to distinguish between the SMTP servers or assign the correct one to your copy of Mail (it doesn't actually know which is which, you need to inform it)
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts (NOT Mail>Accounts) and go down to the SMTP server list, choose the correct server for each account then check the box that says 'Use Only This Server' for each account.
This is not automatic, you get to choose and if you don't then this will result.
Remove the non functional ones.

Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2013 - Not getting pop-up or mail tips for attachments exceeding max size

Our environment is Exchange Server 2013 CU3 and Outlook 2013 in cached mode. We have a transport rule that sets the max attachment size to 20 mb.
If someone sends an attachment larger than 20 mb they receive an NDR letting them know the message wasn't delivered because it exceeded the max attachment size. We would like for the user to be prevented from sending the message at all or to at least
get a mail tip before they try to send the message. The Outlook pop-up message that says "The file you're attaching is bigger than the server allows. Try putting the file in a shared location ..." isn't being generated for us. Not sure if that's
because we're running Exchange or not. If that pop-up isn't going to work it would be nice if the user could at least get a mail-tip warning them that the attachment exceeds the limit. But it doesn't look likes there's a mail-tip for attachment size, only
for message size. And, I've found that the message size mail-tip only works if the limit is set on the user. It doesn't seem to work if the limit is set via a transport rule.
Has anyone else gotten Outlook to present the pop-up or a mail-tip when exceeding attachment size? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but I performed all of those trouble shooting prior to posting to the forum. But, I have found the answer!
After referring to this article;
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345(v=exchg.150).aspx
I removed the 10mb default limits from the organization config and chose to set the attachment and message size limits in our environment via transport
rules instead. That is the only way you can actually set an attachment size limit.
I had read this article several times searching for an answer;
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813269#appliesto
The key is here;
"If you are using an Exchange Server account, the 20-MB attachment
limit for Internet email accounts is not used by Outlook 2013. Instead, Outlook uses the limit that is configured on your Exchange server. To modify the setting that is used to control the size of a message that is sent through an
Exchange Server account, follow these steps."
The steps that follow are for Exchange 2010 but they show setting organization limits not server limits. And note that it
says the size of a message, not the size of an attachment. Since mail-tips for message size are not displayed when the limit is set via the transport rules I thought it
was possible that the same inconsistency might apply to the attachment pop-up warning. I set the organization limits and voila! The pop-up now displays when an attachment that exceeds the message size limit is added to a message.
This is exactly what I wanted. Now users won't fill up their sent items trying to send large attachments that just bounce anyway.
It would be wonderful if Microsoft would provide information about what features of Outlook are affected when you apply message size limits at the
various levels.

I need a new mail client for MS Exchange Mail- Entourage is slow

Does anyone know if there is a mail client for Mac that can access MS Exhange Server mail? I am running MS Office Entourage 04 on a MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM (max). Entourage will work fine (using Rosetta) but occasionally hangs and is sluggish. If I can type faster than a computer thinks there is a problem (my typing is bad).

Aside from Apple's own Mail application, and it's limited support for Exchange servers, I don't think there are any other apps...

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme!

Is it possible to have 2 mail programmes on my macbook pro? one for business related emails and one personal. I dont want all the emails in one mail programme. At the moment i have 2 personal email address being sent to my mail but because of receiving huge numbers of work emails it would be good to keep them seperate, what is the best way of doing this?

if i use the one mail programme can it separate the incoming mail from the different email accounts into 2 folders without me having to do it manually?
Yes, you can. Nearly all email software can do this. It involves creating two folders and a Rule for each folder.
Maybe call one folder Personal Mail, the other Work Mail (Apple Mail calls folders Mailboxes). One Rule would route all mail from your personal email account into the Personal Mail folder; the other Rule would route all mail from your work email account into the Work Mail folder. It's actually easy to do, all you have to do is click a few things and the rule is set up. Once the Rule is written you can also apply it to existing messages already downloaded to your Mac.
In Apple Mail, Rules are under Preferences > Rules. Follow the prompts to create a rule like this:
If = Any
Account = my Personal account (select the name of your personal email account)
Perform the following actions: Move Message to Mailbox = my Personal Mail (select the name of your Personal Mail folder (aka mailbox))
This rule says, "take any message that comes in from my Personal Account and move it to my Personal Mail mailbox (folder)"
Create a similar rule for your Work email.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday and as we use the email for business I desperately need it.

I receive both My husbands emails and mine through my ipad. We both have gmail accounts. His emails are coming down on the ipad but not mine. I haven't received mail since Saturday. We use the email for business I desperately need it and I don't have a laptop anymore as it is broken. In my wisdom I desired to buy an ipad instead, what a mistake.

The iPad will support multiple Gmail accounts, but of course you have to set each one up individually. Did you set up both accounts? Go into Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendars to confirm both accounts exist. If they do, also familiarize yourself on how to navigate between accounts to make sure you can view your Inbox. You may also want to check your settings to make sure that you have the default account set up as you expect for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Notes (if you're using all those features). That is important only when initiating something new, you have to have a default account to do such a thing so make sure the default is your account since it is your iPad (assuming that's what you want).
Alternatively, install the free Gmail app and then use only his (or your) account with that app and use the standard iOS Mail app for the other account.

Which is better for business Mail or Entourage 2008?

I am new to Mac. Any advice on the better app for emails & business?
does Mail use mbox? where does it store the email files?
Thanks a lot in advance...

When I transferred from a pc to a Mac, I bought the Office:Mac suite to ease the transition & used Entourage for my email.
Having used a Mac for a few years, I now use Mail & iWork 08 for everything else. (iWork is so much more powerful than anything in the microsoft suite & the price is so much more reasonable...)
The reason I use Mail rather than Entourage is largely due to ease of use & integration with everything else. If you use Address Book & iCal then you have already got everything you need. In the new version of Mail on Leopard, you also have the ability to create notes & to-do memos that let you add details to your iCal & set alarms or reminders. I use all this (in tandem with Bluetooth & iSync) to transfer info or update the calendars & address book on my phone, Nokia N73. You can even set birthday reminders which are good for business!
Mail 3 comes with a bunch of good quality stationery. However, if you have any graphics skills you can build your own branded stationery & send out html mail that fully markets your brand or business identity.
I am so glad I stopped using microsoft apps for lots of personal reasons & have never looked back.
Good luck.

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory?

Using Microsoft Exchange to access Gmail (Google Apps for Business) contacts, what is the best way to sync the Corporate Directory? For instance, we have 40 staff members and wish to populate each phone with the Gmail profile. Right now we have a third party Android app that does this and copies my contacts to each phone. This is problematic. Any solutions to populate a phone with email and phone contacts? Even it it requires double entry for me...thats ok.

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...

Or perhaps Collaboration Services...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

SZA1_D0100-SMTP_ADDR (e-mail adress in business partner for sales order)

I need to control that the in the Sales Order the field SZA1_D0100-SMTP_ADDR (e-mail adress in business partner) is setted.
I thinked to use USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE. In this exit I have on line the structure XVBPA with ADRNR and I haven't on line the structure SZA1_D0100-SMTP. When I'm inserting for first time e-mail adress in sales order, i must read the value in structure and not a DB table. In which structure on line for USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE i can read e-mail adress for a specific partner?
Also another way to control the setting of field SZA1_D0100-SMTP_ADDR is ok.
Thanks.

I need to control that the field is setted on the sales order during its creation. If there is another way....it is ok.
I have seen that exist the structure ADSMTP where there is adress e-mail, but it isn't on line in the exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
Who can help me?
Thanks.
