Growlmail may cause Exchange email sync to stall

I just was looking at another closed thread that mentioned that the problem with Exchange email on Snow Leopard Mail.app no longer downloading could be related to certain plugins or addons.
I would see the sync spinner turning but nothing happening and nothing would fix it including restarts of the computer and/or the application. Note that I did not want to delete my email account due to the obvious setup hassles and the worry that my smart mailboxes would be compromised.
I found that simply clicking disable on the GrowlMail 'enable' checkbox in Mail's preferences and then restarting Mail solved the problem immediately.
I am posting this here in case it would be of help to others. I have not tried re-enabling GrowlMail (v 1.2.1) yet.

I get this same problem. When I delete the sharepoint messages it works again. Anyone know a fix for this?

Exchange Email sync issues

I have my Microsoft Exchange email account setup on my IPhone 4S(5.1.1). My email account has several folders and rules to sort emails into those folders. Even though I have selected those folders in the "Folders to Push" setting, they don't show up in my normal mail app. I don't get an alert (by showing the number of email in that folder) either. If I browse those folders in the account on phone, the emails are there, so I can that the sync is working.
Is anyone else facing this issue?

I usually keep them at 1 week, but I had been working with the default of 3 days after setting up the accounts so many times.
Update: We tried setting up a different exchange account from our server onto my iPhone, and it worked. I am convinced that it is an issue with my account, however that still doesn't solve my problem. I would delete this thread since I no longer believe that I need apple support, but I can't figure out how!

OS upgrade kills Exchange email sync and flattens battery

I did the upgrade to 10.0.10.90 on Saturday. Since then my Exchange email account stopped working, the device often feels warm, and the battery goes flat in a few hours (even without use).
I saw another problem KB33828 wonder if this is related. Vodafone can't/won't help.
Everything else still working, including 2 other non-Exchange email accounts.

Hey peter_r_miles,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
That KB article would be related if your email account gets re-added every few minutes. Since this is a new issue we will need to gather logs to find the root cause. Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry.
Thank you.

1.1.1 update fixes Exchange email sync issue

Before the update, when I deleted an email on Exchange on my PC and then hit the wireless/update button on the iPhone, the message would be deleted on the phone. But when I deleted an email on the device, it would never get deleted on the Exchange server. This was a huge pain and has been documented, and I (and I'm sure others) reported the issue to Apple.
After update 1.1.1, everything works fine.

Thats because during the update it cleaned out your system and then when you sync'd with iTunes...it reset your outlook. With an IMAP setup, its designed to do that but only when you allow itunes to sync the account to your phone.
If you hand built your account into the iphone and then with the sync you established a conflict and that is why your IMAPing didnt work right.
Glad its working as designed now.

Exchange Email Syncs for a while then stops

So my iphone 3G (2.1) will synch my email from the company exchange server just fine for a day or two then for no reason (that I can tell) stops. It goes into an endless connecting to server state and never gets past it. If I fully restore the phone, wiping the account clean, starting over it will validate the account, start synching mail, work for a while (a day or just a few hours) and then stop. I have the phone set for manual fetch. Any ideas?

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Close the Camera app on the device that took the photo. Photos won't upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until you close the Camera app.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

IPhone Exchange Email Sync - Can it go beyond 2 weeks? is there a way?

Using the exchange, I have noticed when using the iPhone & syncing with an exchange account you can only sync as far back as 2 weeks. Is there a way to go further back than 2 weeks?

That depends on the settings configured on the Exchange server. Check with the server Admin.

Exchange email sync of reply and forward tags

hi,
We are using Exchange 2007 and whenever we make replies or forwards on the iphone the tags are not updated back to the server to show that the email has been delt with when looking at it in outlook, i.e. the mail icon does not have the reply or forward arrow next to it. When connecting to exchange 2010 the tags appear to update without issue.
Any ideas?

Having the same problem.
When i answer from Outlook it is marked as Replied of Forwarded in Outlook only. This mark is not shown on the iPad or iPhone.

Exchange Calendar Syncing but no events showing in my calendar

I have a palm pre plus from verizon and am using active sync with an exchange account. My email and contacts sync perfectly. I know my calendar events are in sync because I get my reminders pop up for events right when they should be (normally 15 minutes prior). The problem is that when I open the calendar it shows no entries at all! I have the exchange account set as default and have tried adding and deleting the account about 10 times to no avail. I can even enter a new entry on the pre and it shows up in outlook shortly after. When I am done entering the new appointment on the pre though and go back to the calendar page, it does not show. I've tried only viewing the exchange calendar and showing all calendars and neither way shows me my calendar. HELP! Thanks everyone!

Same problem here.....latest webos installed, email and calendars downloading fine from Exchange, email sync'd working both ways, but calendar events entered on the Pre are not uploading to Exchange. Problem has been going on since year 2010 bug fix in latest webos release. What is the fix? Palm Pre from Sprint.

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

755p - How to sync only Exchange email but not calendar or contacts?

I successfully set up my new 755p to sync with our Exchange server at work, but I noticed that ALL of my work contacts were now on my Treo, and vice-versa. When I go to the settings for email by using Options -> Preferences -> Auto Sync there are 3 check boxes, one each for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts. I thought this was my solution but unfortunately when I check one box, they all check. And when I uncheck one box, they all uncheck. Why are there 3 separate check boxes here if they all work together or none at all? And if there is no way to individually check a box, how can I have my Treo 755p only sync with my Exchange email, and not with my contacts or calendar? I do not want all my personal contacts on my Treo getting sent to my work Exchange contacts. I only need the sync feature to get my work email delivered to my Treo when I'm not in the office. Thanks.

Unfortunately EAS in Versamail 3.5 is an all or nothing option. In the product information if you were purchasing Versamail 3.5 is the Using built-in Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, wirelessly sync Calendar, Contacts, and email with your company's Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (access enabled by your IT administrator). Or, access business email using POP or IMAP and a compatible Virtual Private Network (VPN) client (sold separately). The Guidelines for EAS on Exchange Server 2003 with MSFP (message and security feature pack) puts out the specification for Windows Mobile devices to sync Email, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks to Exchange server and any other partnership can do files, favorites, notes, media but the PIMS once enabled to go through EAS will only go through EAS until that partnership is removed. On a Palm OS based device the 755 is compatible for Direct Push email, calendar and contacts sync as well as some policy enforcement from the Mobile Access Admistrator plugin for Exchange 2003 such as PW enforcement, remote wipe. The specifications made the rules. Versamail 3.5 on the Treo 755 just follows them.

I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you

Connect Exchange email without active sync just as I do on Mac mail on Mac book. Using OWA site.

I am trying to connect my exchange email to my iPhone without using active sync. I am able to connect it to the Mac mail program on my MacBook pro with out ay issues. Can this be done on the iPhone? Please instruct.

Hi,
I have a similar issue, just purchased Iphone4, can't get my enterprise emails because i get the typical "Unable to verify" message. My It guys (which are totally unfamiliar with Iphone because we are a blackberry-organisation ) tried to create an acoount on my iphone with no succes, afterwards they said that our email application is not compatible with iphone and that "we will upgrade it but don't know when".
After googeling (without understanding much ) i found that:
Active Sync is needed for Iphone to get emails, Active Sync works only with Microsoft Exchange SP2.
We have Microsoft Exchange 2003 RTM (6.5.6944.3) so no SP1, no SP2.
Is this the issue why we can't get it work? If yes, is there any other way to get my emails without this ActiveSync?
(we have OWA in case this is usefull).
Thanks a lot!

Any way to sync with Google Contacts and activesync with Exchange emails?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Sync my iPhone contacts with Google
2. Have my private calendar synched with Google
3. Have my work calendar synched with Exchange
4. Get push email from my Exchange server
5. View Google email
I have done 1 & 2 using Google Sync for iPhone, but since this is done via ActiveSync it blocks my ability to add my corporate Exchange server as I am only allowed to have one ActiveSync account on the iPhone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Adam,
As you probably discovered, the problem is Google Calendar. The iPhone can get email directly from Gmail - without Google Sync - but the Calendar won't work. There are two main options
1. The simplest option is to view your Google calendar via CalDAV. The iPhone supports CalDAV and can sync with any any CalDAV compatible calendar system. Unfortunately, I believe that it's read-only: using CalDAV, you can't update your Google calendar from the iPhone. However, if read-only is fine, that's the simplest option. Then you'd use Exchange for your work stuff, Mail on the iPhone to talk directly to Gmail, and CalDAV support in the calendar to view your Google calendar.
2. The more sophisticated option is to use Mail on the iPhone to get Gmail, then use Exchange for everything else. You'd then add SyncMyCal on your Windows PC to sync your Google calendar with your Exchange account. The sync is two-way and works very well. With your Google calendar available in Exchange, the sync from Exchange to the iPhone will now have your Google calendar items too - and you can create new events on your iPhone's calendar that'll end up in Google calendar.
Regards,
Fergus
