Exchange/OWA with Mail

Hi!
I have a problem. My exchange server at work doesn't support IMAP or POP connections, so I'm stuck with OWA. Now with Mail, I can connect to an exchange server using OWA, but why do I have to put an 'incoming mail server in'? I am just thinking that it's pretty useless since you need an IMAP server anyways.
Is there something that I'm missing? Is there possibly anything else that exists out there (besides Evolution) that can handle Exchange/OWA?
Thanks!

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe the OWA spot in the Mail config is for Address Book syncing. As far as using Mail to connect to Exchange though, you need IMAP turned on. Your other alternatives are Entourage, and as you already mentioned, Evolution.

How do I setup shared Exchange mailbox with Mail (Yosemite)?

Hello,
we use Office 365 hosting for our mails. Setting up my default Exchange account is no problem at all, just provide e-Mail address, password and let auto discover finish the rest through System Preferences -> Internet accounts.
But I also need to setup two shared Exchange mailboxes. If I setup the e-mail address of the shared mailbox. I tried to set it up as follows:
System Preferences -> Internet Accounts -> Add Exchange Account
Name: Shared Mailbox
Email Address: [email protected]
Password <own AD password>
As expected: Internet Accounts couldn't log in to the Exchange server "autodiscover-s.outlook.com". Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct. Then, enter your user name and click Continue.
<Continue>
Account Settings
Account Type: Exchange
Description: Shared Mailbox
User Name: <own smtp mail address>
Password: <own AD password>
Server Address: outlook.office365.com
<Continue>
Account Summary
Account type: Exchange
Full name: Shared Mailbox
Email address: [email protected]
Server address: outlook.office365.com
<Continue>
Select the apps to use with "[email protected]": Mail
=> There was a problem setting up the Mail account: an unknown error occurred.
05/01/15 13:02:10,706 com.apple.internetaccounts[313]: Already have account E2E3FF00-2B0E-4F75-ADD9-FB********** configured for user: <[email protected]> host: outlook.office365.com
So to add an additional account to access a different mailbox on the Exchange sever with the same credentials as the personal mailbox is apparently no option any more. On the other hand I haven't found any option to add according folders from other mail address inboxes to my personal account in any of the Preferences from Mail (Yosemite, 8.1) or any menu item, that would allow me to add the inboxes of other shared Exchange server mail boxes I have access to.
The same is true for Mail (iOS 8.1.2), thus I have not found a solution to configure the shared mailboxes on my iOS devices either.
Trying to setup an "Add Other Account" using IMAP did not succeed either. It always uses my personal mailbox, because I only have my personal user to access the shared mailbox and downloads my personal inbox instead of the one of the shared mailbox.
Do I really have to fall back to Outlook 2011 Mac to be able to use this feature and miss out on all the hands off features from Yosemite?

i too use office 365 shared mailboxes and it took me a long time to work out to add them to my ios mail app , this worked for me :
start setting up a normal exchange account , put your shared email address in the username and you main email account password.
it will fail to do the auto-discover thing , but when you click on continue it eil allow you to manually enter the details :
Name : < whatever>
email : <your shared email a/c address i.e [email protected] >
description : <whatever>
incoming mail
Host name : outlook.office365.com
username : <your main email address / shared i.e [email protected]/myshared >
password : < your main account password >
outgoing mail server:
SMTP : smtp.office365.com
username : <your mail email i.e. [email protected] >
password < your main account password >
use ssl <YES>
authentication : Password
server port 587
this worked fine on every IOS device i own, but somehow it doesn't work with my Yosemite mail , so if anybody can help with Yosemite mail it would be much appreciated.

Setting up Exchange Account with Mail

Hello all.
Really want to start getting my work e-mail without loggin in via OWA.
I can't however get past the Incoming Mail Server section in the account setup. I'm not sure what to put into the *Incoming Mail Server* and *Outlook Web Acess Server* Boxes.
I access the outlook web acess via http://server.companyname.com/exchange
I've tried lots of combinations but just get the ' Exchanger server ..com is not responding check etc.."
What format should it be?
Thanks

Apple Mail is supposed to access the Exchange server via OWA. I do have Entourage loaded, and it works fine. I also have Evolution running on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop which also uses the Exchange OWA to pickup my work e-mail.
For the life of me, I cannot get Apple Mail to pickup my e-mail on the Exchange server. I am sure it's just a configuration issue since both Entourage and Evolution work.

Exchange (OWA) access with Nokia Messaging

Thank you for enabling corporate mail (Exchange / OWA) is now working under Nokia Messaging.
I summarize a few items that could be improved:
1 In order to install this, you first need to log into the service with an online web account and only then can you install your corporate account. You can later delete the online web account. This is awkward.
2 Within Nokia Messaging I cannot set the email address I wish to show when I send someone an email. I use in my corporate email an alias which is slightly different from the main domain: for example if my corporate email address would be [email protected], then my alias would be [email protected]
3 Within Nokia Messaging I cannot set the reply_to address
4 Within Nokia Messaging I cannot accept calendar invitations.
5 MFE used to work fine with the 3G Portal (WAP based) access point and this saved me from using the 3G/Internet connection (payable). However, Nokia Messaging does not work on the 3G Portal access point and has to be set to 3G/Internet. This means that using Nokia Messaging will cost me more than MFE.

Can you please tell us how did you configure OWA on Nokia messaging, because as from Nokia support team , OWA is not supported in Nokia messaging !
Please advice.
Thanks

Problem with mail for exchange after update on E72...

Hi everyone,
I updated Nokia E-mail to ver 3.9 on E72. Now I am facing a problem with mail for exchange. I have configured gmail on mail for exchange. I recieve a warning that "unable to sync contact administrator if problem persist". It started to pop up just after the update was over and is very frustrating. Even previously i used to recieve mails instantly but now it generally takes half an hour for me to recieve them. I deleted and created mail for exchange several times but to no avail.
Also i am not able to automatically recieve mails other emails which i have configured. every time I have to manually download them everytime.
Can anybody suggest a way out.
Thanks
Anil

It could be a problem if you're using your network's connections...
I was on a Pay & Go tariff with o2 some time ago, and needed secure connections for various things, o2 told me they didn't provide secure connections on Pay & Go tariffs...
Could be worth checking with them to make sure it's supported.

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

Hi,
There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue.
I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
Cheers

Can you use Exchange with Mail.app?

Hello,
I have attempted to search for this answer but have not found anything that really helped me. Can someone guide me to an url or resource to see if using Exchange on a Mack with Mail is possible?
Thanks so much!

Hi all;
For MS Exchange on Mac, you need to run IMAP4 on MS Exchange server to allow Mac users connect and download emails locally using Mail.app (copy from emails remain on server like Outlook).
For that do the following:
1. Enable IMAP4 service:
a. From Services (Local).
b. Microsoft Exchange IPAM4.
c. Change it to Automatic.
d. Start the service.
2. Enable IMAP4 in MS Exchange system:
a. Exchange System Manager.
b. First Organization.
c. Servers.
d. 'Server name'.
e. Protocols.
f. IMAP4.
g. Default IMAP4 Virtual Server.
h. Right click and Start.
3. Restart MS Exchange server.
On Mac client (Mail.app):
1. Add new account.
2. Email Address: [email protected]
3. Password: user's password.
4. Account Type: Exchange.
5. Incoming Mail Server: "MS Exchange server" IP or Full DNS name (i.e. Server.test.com).
6. User Name: [email protected]
7. Password: user's password.
8. Outlook Web Access Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
9. Outgoing Mail Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
10. Check "Use Authentication" and fill User and Password fields.
11. Check "Take Account Online" .
Note: Mac users have to join the windows domain

SSL client certificate problem with exchange owa

Since a week I've been having the strangest problem when trying to connect to an exchange webmail server.
When I try to log on to the server, I now get a a safari warning telling me that the website requests a client certificate and prompts me to choose one.
Safari presents me with a few .mac and mobileme certificates, none of which are valid for this site obviously.
I cannot get through this dialog because it seems I do not have the required certificate.
What baffles me though, is that when I disable my mobileme settings in system preferences, safari connects to the exchange webmail perfectly without ever prompting me for a certificate.
I do not understand what mobileme has to do with this exchange server at all.
What is even more strange is that I have been having this on 4 different mac's here at home, with two different user accounts on the exchange server, and I have a family mobileme pack... so every system is a little different, but they all behave exactly the same.
Can anybody point in the right direction please ?
For what it's worth, I could have installed a 10.7.1 update on one of the systems which may have caused this, but definatly not on all 4 at the same time....
Another strange bit, when setting up the exchange server inside mail.app, it works perfectly...

Daily Problems with Mail Synchronizing with Exchange Server

Our office uses Comcast Business Class Service, which uses 2007 Exchange Servers, for internet access and email. I upgraded my MacPro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, using the Upgrade DVD. The upgrade process kept my original Leopard Mail settings, which were using POP. At that time, I had not problems with email.
Unfortunately, awhile ago my Mail Preferences became corrupt, and I had to delete them. Upon relaunching Mail, the application wanted to use the new Autosync method to connect to the Comcast Exchange Server. Using POP was not an option.
I must say that I am less than impressed with the way Mail integrates with Exchange Servers. I have daily problems, and experience these problems multiple times per day. When they happen, they slow my email communication down to a crawl; sometimes for as much as an hour.
Specifically, the problem appears to be with Mail's ability (or inability) to properly synchronize with Exchange Servers. I get he spinning pizza icons next to the two Exchange email accounts I have in my Mailboxes source column. Opening the Activity window shows that the synchronizing process has slowed everything down. This results in not being able to send or receive email until the synchronizing is complete. And as I said, that can sometimes take as long as an hour.
Stopping the process in the Activity window does not resolve the issue. Nor does quitting and relaunching Mail. Because the next time Mail attempts to connect to the Exchange Server, it will try to synchronize yet again. The problem has become so chronic, that I often have to resort to using Webmail while waiting of the synchronizing process to complete.
Incidentally, the mailboxes that are synchronizing are empty! I am meticulous about keeping my Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash mailboxes empty at all times. I do not use To-Do's, Notes, or Calendars of any kind on the Exchange Server, so there is no data to even sync!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? Other email accounts I have, which use POP or IMAP, do not have this issue. There does not appear to be away to abandon the Autosync Mail setup and revert back to POP. If there is, I will do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks.

Found a solution that works for me. Delete the problem account that's using AutoDiscover to sync with the exchange server. Before doing that, however, you will want to clear out the Inbox, Sent and even Trash folder for that account, as deleting it will remove the messages that currently reside in those folders. Just simply move them to another folder. You can move them back after re-creating the account.
The second step is to re-create the account. Do this as you would normally, and enter in your name, username and password. THE TRICK: Press and hold the Option key when you click Continue. After Mail connects to the server and verifies your account information, you will then have a pull down menu that will allow you to choose Exchange Server, IMAP and POP. Simply select POP or IMAP, then fill out the rest of the fields.
Viola! No more problematic Exchange Server syncing issues.

Exchange 2010 SP3 OWA with certificate based authentication

Hi,
I have a bizarre problem in my customer’s environment. Maybe someone has an idea.
Exchange 2010 with SP3, latest cumulative Update installed.
The problem I’m having is that when I enable Certificate based authentication (require client certificate option in IIS) on OWA and ECP virtual directories in conjunction with forms based authentication (this is the requirement – the user
must have a client certificate and type in username and password to log in to OWA), the result is that after the user selects the certificate he wants to use, he is logged into OWA automatically, but cannot use the website, because it’s being constantly automatically
refreshed (or redirected to itself or something like that). The behavior occurs with all users, with any browser. If client certificate is on required, forms based authentication works just fine. If I switch to “Basic Authentication” and enable client certificate
requirement, then OWA act’s as it should be – so no problems. The problem only occurs when authentication type is forms based and client certificates are required.
I have tried the exact same settings (as far as I can tell) on one other production server and one test server, and encountered no such problems.
Anyone – any ideas?

Hi McWax,
According to your description and test, I understand that all accounts cannot login OWA when select require client certificate.
Is there any error message when open OWA or login? For example, return error ”HTTP error: 403 - Forbidden”. Please post relative error for further troubleshooting.
I want to confirm which authentication methods are used for OWA, Integrated Windows authentication or Digest authentication? More details about it, for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb430796(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you select another authentication method, please check whether Client Certificate Mapping Authentication services is installed, and also enabled in IIS, please refer to:
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/authentication/clientcertificatemappingauthentication
To prevent firewall factor, please try to sign in OWA at CAS server. Besides, I find a FAQ about certificate:

Send mail to exchange server with TLS

Hi,
last month I enabled an oracle wallet TDE for creating encription for TS.
Today, development team needs to send mail to exchange server with TLS.
So I found this procedure on oracle support Doc ID 1323140.1
My question is, can I use the same wallet to send mails from db?
The Oracle Database 11.2.0.3
Or I need to implement a different type of wallet with certificate?
Is there, in this case, a procedure step by step?
I have never implemented that and I'm very confused....
Thanks in advanced

Hi, I have implemented a new wallet with certificates (for test SMTP.gmail.com) and i'm tryied to use this procedure:
DECLARE
mailhost VARCHAR2(64) := 'smtp.mydomain.it';
sender VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
recipient VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
wallet_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'welcome1';
wallet_loc VARCHAR2(64) := 'file:/etc/ORACLE/FRMSSYST/SMTP/';
user_name VARCHAR2(64) := 'HDC021319'; -- alias for '[email protected]'
user_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'password'; -- password of [email protected]
mail_connection utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
-- Make a secure connection using the SSL port configured with your SMTP server
-- Note: The sample code here uses the default of 465 but check your SMTP server settings
mail_connection := utl_smtp.open_connection(
host => mailhost,
port => 25,
wallet_path => wallet_loc,
wallet_password => wallet_pwd,
secure_connection_before_smtp => FALSE);
-- Call the Auth procedure to authorized a user for access to the mail server
-- Schemes should be set appropriatelty for your mail server
-- See the UTL_SMTP documentation for a list of constants and meanings
UTL_SMTP.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
UTL_SMTP.STARTTLS(mail_connection);
UTL_SMTP.AUTH(
c => mail_connection,
username => user_name,
password => user_pwd,
schemes => 'LOGIN');
-- Set up and make the the basic smtp calls to send a test email
utl_smtp.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
utl_smtp.mail(mail_connection, sender);
utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_connection, recipient);
utl_smtp.open_data(mail_connection);
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This is a test message using SSL with SMTP.' || chr(13));
utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This test requires an Oracle Wallet be properly configured.' || chr(13));
utl_smtp.close_data(mail_connection);
utl_smtp.quit(mail_connection);
END;
This procedure, works fine if I try to send an email to smtp.gmail.com (I tried first with gmail with appropriate certificates), but now, when I try to send an email to the local enterprise Exchange server I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 503 5.5.2 Send hello first
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 54

Possible to retract emails with Mail (Exchange account)?

One of the email accounts I work with is an on an Exchange Server. I know that on a PC you can retract sent email with Exchange, is this possible with Mail?
Thanks

Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

Gmail with iPhone (Exchange) push & Apple Mail IMAP

Hi, I've managed to get a Gmail account going on an iPhone using the Exchange protocol. Push is working fine. I use Apple Mail to access the same Gmail account via IMAP.
When I reply to a message using the iPhone, the Replied flag (the little 180-degree U-turn arrow symbol) shows up next to the message in iPhone Mail, but this flag doesn't appear in Apple Mail. Likewise, if I reply to the message using Apple Mail, the Replied flag shows up in Apple Mail but not in iPhone Mail.
Basically, I would like push email, but would like the Replied flags to be shown correctly between the email programs.
I've tested this using a few other potential settings with the following results:
* Attempt [1]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the IMAP protocol (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): If a message is replied using the iPhone, the Read & Replied flags are not synced to Apple Mail. However, flags produced using Apple Mail are brought across to iPhone Mail. BUT, if Apple Mail is quit & started up again, the proper Read & Replied flags are shown.
* Attempt [2]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the pre-made Gmail settings (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): Same results as Attempt [1].
* Attempt [3]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using Exchange (push); Apple Mail using the Exchange protocol: Can't seem to get Apple Mail working at all. Tried all sorts of settings, but no luck.
* Attempt [4]: iPhone Mail accessing another non-Gmail server using IMAP (no push); Apple Mail using IMAP (push via IMAP-idle): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
* Attempt [5]: iPhone Mail accessing MobileMe using pre-made MobileMe settings (push); Apple Mail using MobileMe (push): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
So the only way to get push email happening with correct syncing of the flags between email programs is to use MobileMe. It doesn't seem possible using Gmail, unless someone can tell me the Exchange server settings for Apple Mail so that it can be tested.

That's the way it works with Exchange, and there's no workaround until Apple fixes it. It's the same for 'regular' Exchange accounts - the replied/forwarded tags applied by the iPhone Mail app aren't seen by Outlook, and vice versa.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
