Finding Public Folders in Mail App through Exchange

I am using Outlook on the Windows side and all my Public Folders are there. Where can I find them in the Mail App in OSX Lion? I noticed that there are two choices to make a new account in the app. One is Exchange, and the other is Exchange IMAP. I chose the Exchange, and I'm guessing that has something to do with it. Its just that if I chose IMAP, all my junk filtering goes away that I set up in Outlook.

Its not there. I have not found a way ever to get public folders in Mail App. I wish there was, but i cannot find any solution.
I have been looking for about a year on this, but no luck

This is very disappointing, and i find it hard to believe that Apple would do this intentionally. It worked on previous versions of email application. Apple please don't dishonor the image of Steve Jobs this way. Fix this right away. I can't think of anything more basic than being able to organize the email that you download into folders. This absolutely ***** ... What a stinker.....
I can't think of anything more idiotic than invoking the memory of Jobs here. Are you truly unaware that the iPad and iOS is pretty much exactly the way he wanted it to be, just like about everything else Apple?
As to your claim of "previous email applications", certainly none in iOS ever did that, and the only folders you can create and manipulate in POP accounts are those local to only that single machine or platform, not particularly helpful or desirable in today's environments.

Mail.app to Exchange connection issues...

Hi Everyone,
First off...I'm new to the "Mac world", but well versed in the Windows environment...
I'm having trouble getting Mail to work with my Exchange account. At first, I couldn't send email (but received fine), I still get occasional "connection" errors, but not too concerned....yet
The problem I'm still having is after receiving emails, and reading them, they show up as "read" on my PC within seconds of opening them (I'm running a PC & Mac side by side to get this problem sorted out), but any deletes or filing in different folders from the Mac DO NOT get reflected on the PC.
I know the problem is not my Exchange server (I set it up for our office) because I'm able to connect all the following devices & configurations to it:
iPod Touch (with 2.x software)
Assorted Blackberries
Windows Mobile 6.x devices
Outlook Web Access
both local & remote Outlook connections (either via OWA, or VPN connection)
I've tried playing around with the various account settings in Mail, but none seem to have any impact... I've even deleted & re-created the profile, and have the same results!
Any help is appreciated .... thanks in advance!

Hi, help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange name space. But I can't receive any mail at all. No SLL, IMAP/SMTP by default, all settings are correct in all layers of my account. It's absolutely true. I have no more ideas how to sync Mail with Exchange. May be I need to configure the Exchange but how? Could you send me Exchange'screenshots to [email protected] with IMAP layer and others you decide they necessary? I will be appreciated for any support. Thanks in advance.

Duplicate Notes in Mail.app w/Exchange server

Latest version of Mail.app and Exchange 2007 server.
What we are experiencing is that a users NOTES will not replace when edited but leave new versions over and over and over again. Mail is not cleaning out the old versions correctly.
If you go back later and open the most "recent" version sometime the old ones will disappear sometime not.
This is a mirror of the "drafts" duplication issue which was corrected in 10.6.3
Anyone has seen this issue please contact me through this thread.
Thanks
Robert

I'm having the same issue with an Exchange account. I cannot create non-Exchange Notes, and every note I work on drops a new one not just with ever save, but every few seconds as I edit the note. After a few minutes working on a long note, I have a dozen older "revisions" that it plonked down as I was working. I have to delete them when I'm "done", and sometimes if I delete all but the last one... the last ("real/current") edit also disappears.
On top of that mess, I have it set not to display notes in the inbox, and yet it does. What a mess.

Cannot sort emails sent from Mail App and Exchange

When trying to sort emails on Outlook in Windows, lets say by "Flag", emails coming from a mac using mail app and exchange get placed at the top of the list.
Have tried sending emails from the same account via webmail and iphone and they get sorted correctly.
Anyone has had this problem?

So, Here's what happens:
1) Send email from Laptop (Snow Leopard) with Exchange Integration
2) Send email from iPhone (3.1) with Exchange Integration
In Outlook 2003 sort by flag (neither of these messages are flagged). Any email sent from the Snow Leopard is sorted first in the Unflagged category in Outlook. Any of the email sent from the iPhone is sorted normally.
There's no differences in the headers to cause these to sort differently. The only headers that differ are the Date, Subject/Thread-Topic, Thread-Index, Message-ID, x-ems-stamp. But, in the Message-ID it has the same domain.
Both Snow Leopard and iPhone are configured to use the same Exchange OWA/OWS.

Is it possible to unsubscribe specific Public folders in Mail + Exchange?

We're using Mail connected to IMAP/Exchange accounts and have a lot of Public folders that we would like to unsubscribe to - since they update some 68.000+ mails which causes some speed conflicts. Its possible in Outlook(PC) and Thunderbird(Mac) but is it possible in Mail?

Thanks
Lets just hope these basic improvements will be included in the 3.0. - guess I'll have to start using Thunderbird for a while!

Mail.app with Exchange - all folders will not sync - is there a fix or is this a defect

I am tryinf to switch from Outlook to Mail - running Mavericks and new 7.0 mail app. Inbox appears to have synced but other folders within inbox are empty and have tried to rebuild several times. Thoughts? I do have a lot of messages.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

Mail.app and Exchange 2007 with Rollup 3 ... anyone get it to work?

Spent way too much time on this...
After finding our our Exchange 2007 server didn't have the legacy components installed to ensure WebDav would work, we can now connect to our Exchange 2007 mail server from Microsoft Entourage for all Windows Active Directory accounts.
For Apple Mail however, this is not the case. Opening mail, the account information does default in accurately (email, userID, exchange 2007 server) when I enter a users password, it says that it is unable to connect to mail server user/password failed.
If I manually create the account, the same thing occurs, a pop-up appears prompting for a password, which I enter and it comes back saying it isn't valid.
The password is valid because on the same Mac I open up Entourage and log in.
Keychain is NOT used and none of the passwords are held because of the headaches this causes.
Looking for ideas, thinking this is more of an Apple Mail.app bug not working with Exchange than a Microsoft issue.

Just want to add to this...it was resolved the Advanced tab is very important on mail.app.
The Advance tab authentication must match what the Exchange server/Active Directory is using.
For us NTLM is what we need to use.
Also we found that one exchange server had a bad installation while another had no problem connecting via mail.app.
Thus the installation is going to be looked at.

Public folders are not wisible in exchange 2007 EMS

Hello!
I'm experiencing some troubles with public folders. Few months ago I migrated to exchange 2013 CU3, server OS is 2012R2. All public folders are working OK, users can see them in outlook, can send mail to and from them. But in EMS I cannot see public folders

Hi,
I recommend you refer to the following article to migrate the PF from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013:
Migrate Public Folders to Exchange 2013 From Previous Versions
Exchange supports moving your public folders from the following legacy versions of Exchange Server:
Exchange Server 2010 SP3
Exchange Server 2007 SP3 RU10

Unable to open Public Folders in Outlook or OWA (Exchange 2010)

Exchange 2010 Public folders can not be opened from Outlook or from OWA, in the ADIS I do not see Folder Hierarchies. Under the public folder Management Console,i get an error that states "You cant perform this operation because public folder
database isnt mounted. Please mount it and try afain, It wsas running the command ger-publicfolder -getchildren -identity "\"-server 'MBXserver'"

Run "Get-PublicFolderDatabase" and see what it says the status of the database is. This error implies that the database in offline. You will also want to find the status of your public folder copies.
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | Ft
or
Get-PublicFolder -Recurse | Export-Csv PublicFolderStatus.csv -NoTypeInformation
The first will work if you are checking a small number of folders, but you'll want the latter if you have many of them.

Folders in Mail.app

For the life of me I can't figure out how to make folders work the way I want in Mail.app.
The hierachy of folders is as follows when imported from my Exchange account:
Inbox
     Exchange Email
          Sub-Folder
          Sub-Folder
          Sub-Folder
These are when I do the initial import from my Exchange account. The issue is when I want to add a new folder, mail.app puts the folder all the way down on the left side, with no way of moving the folder back up under the hiearchy like the other folders.
For instance
Inbox
     Exchange Email
          Sub-Folder
          Sub-Folder
          Sub-Folder
VIPS
Flagged
Drafts
Sent
Exchange Email
     Deleted Items
     Newsfeed
     RSS Feeds
     New Created Sub-Folder <------------      Do Not Want It There!!!!!
Any ideas? Did this make any sense?

I know. Everyone keeps saying that and says they can't believe I'm still using POP.
However: Does that not mean that all my mails would sit on the server, even the very old ones I've read? Usually I keep at least 5 years worth of emails (and even after that I archive them), resulting in a very large mail DB. Would my email provider not have a limit on storage of files? And once I delete some mails on the server, would they then not also disappear from my local client?
PLUS: Can I still read my old mails locally when I'm somewhere w/o internet access?
iMap seems a bit like having my post office keep all my personal mail and only send me copies of them. Seems a strange way to go to me. (for business it actually seems a bit dangerous--what about audit trails, etc. and the fact that it would be so easy to get access to all thge old mails on the server?)

Mail app with Exchange memory leak

I have Mail 5.3 on 10.7.5 running with one Exchange account and no other accounts. Every time I press the "Get new messages" button, or when it automatically does that, memory usage for the Mail app jumps by 3-5MB. Over time, this becomes substantial. I left Mail running on my work computer over the long weekend and came back to find it using over 4GB of RAM! A quit-restart of Mail drops it back to 70MB usage, but it grows again.
Anyone else experience this? Is it related to the Exchange account? Any known fixes?
Thanks!

I think I found a solution. I was having trouble with Exchange, so I deleted the account then set it up again. After that process, I found that the Mail app no longer eats memory. Give it a try!

Mail app through proxy

Mail app works(on a gmail account), but only when connected through a network directly, not through a proxy.
Is there any way to make mail work through a http proxy on port 8080, or is the mail app simply ignoring proxy settings (which are, of course, correctly set)?
If this is impossible with the standard mail app, is there any mail app that would solve my problem?

I'm having the same problem. I can't find a solution. Did you ever find the problem?

Email Folders & iOS Mail App

As I have quite a few cntacts on my email account I have folders set to recieve e emails from specific coontacts. I noticed that folders don't appear and junk mail doesn't get sorted for my hotmail. But I was wondering do other supported email providers show custom folders users may have on their account? I attached a screenshot (pixelated a few things) to show my folders (that you see under my Inbox. I am wondering If any email providers supported by mail can show custom folders like mine (scouts, sent 2 myself, online news and so on are custom folders I have). DO any email accounts from suppor providers show custom folders like mine in the screenshot in the iOS mail app?

Is your Yahoo account a POP email account? If so there is no way to sync the folders to your iPhone. Only IMAP accounts sync folder. The best you could do is log in through Safari.

Assertion Failures using Mail.app with Exchange 2007...

We have been implementing and migrating our end-users to Exchange 2007. In doing so we found that Mail.app end-users were experiencing Assertion failures in Console.app. They used to cause Mail.app to crash and lose connectivity frequently to the Exchange 2007 server. We made a change to the firewall to allow communication to happen between domain controllers, but haven't been able to determine if this in fact resolved or helped hide the root cause. We seem to be no longer crashing Mail.app or losing connectivity, but the same logs when we would crash/lose connectivity are still happening when you look in Console.app.

We are getting these Assertion Failures for other end-users as well that are using Mail.app and connecting to Exchange 2007 Server. I have wiped my mail.app account and started from fresh and that didn't help. I did it manually as well ensuring that preference files, caches, and passwords related to mail.app, ical.app, and Address Book.app were removed. That did not work. I just went from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 hoping that would correct the issue, it did not. I even set up on another Mac a baseline Snow Leopard and patched it and then configured my mail account and still got the same errors.
What I am hoping for is not a miracle (Fixing the problem), but being told what these errors mean and if there is any risks to be concerned with. In other words, can I ignore these error messages or should I be concerned? Like I said it was causing us to get the sideways thunderbolt or triangle with an exclamation point and even crashing Mail.app at times. That hasn't happened since we let the all of the domain controllers talk to each other, even though they shouldn't have to.

I echo your hope for someone shedding a light on this. I too am geting Assertion failures, every few days, though without much in the way of crashes.
