Help with setting up a basic mail server for Notes sync

Hello,
I have managed to setup a CalDAV and CardDAV server for local syncing of my iOS devices with Mavericks via Mavericks Server.
I wish to also sync notes.
I understand a mail server is required and I have been trying to set one up solely for notes sync.
After turning on the mail server I can sync notes to the server on my Mac but I cant figure out how to do it on the iOS devices.
Is it possible to setup a local mail server?
Can someone provide me with a basic guide?
Thanks

Thanks for reply Simon.
I havent been able to find a guide so I have been guessing trying to setup the email server. Basically ive tried to setup a user email [email protected] (syncuser is also the account I use to sync my calendar and contacts)
I have turned on the mail server, made a new account on my Mac in mail:
Description: OS X Server
Email Address: [email protected]
Full Name: syncuser
Incoming Mail Server: myserver.local
User Name: syncuser
In the user account I have added the email address.
Im guesing I have to make the mail account somewhere in the server settings but I cant find anything. If turn off SSL in the mail settings I at least get a response from the server:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “OS X Server” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “myserver.local” on port 143 failed (error 49: Can't assign requested address)

The settings are not generic for all webmail accounts, only your office IT department would know what the server address is for their outgoing email server. You'll have to ask them about it.

Need help with setting up a photolibrary on server that can be accessed/edited by multiple users

Hi:
I would like to develop an in-house photolibrary for our graphics department. The goal is to be able to add keywords to all our images so that we could have a more dynamic means of searching through our countless scanned images. Lightroom works great with regards to keywording and searching.
To make it so all the computers in our office could have access to the images, I created a photolibrary on our server that can be accessed by any of the computers in our graphics dept. However, when one computer adds keywords to an image, that info does not show up on any of the other computers. Perhaps this is an issue with the trial version and we need to get the license? A few other people suggested that it might have something to do with my export settings - I tried to play around with the settings but had little luck...Any Advise?
Thanks,
Leo

Thanks for your thorough reply. Is there a way to have one MASTER computer that could create the keywords and have the other computers access the master computer's catlogues - or something of that sort. We are small graphics dept. with three people so even that would suffice.
Lightroom is not a networked application, and cannot be set up so that multiple computers can access LR via a network.
The only real workaround with LR is to put the catalog and photos on an external HD and then physically connect the external HD to the computer of the person wanting to use it. So only one person can use the catalog at one time.
You can look up Digital Asset Management (DAM) software on Google if you really need to have multi-user access and networked.

Help with setting up pointing clients to server..

Okay, here is my situation. We have many macs on the network that currently don't login, open machines. We do have Blue Socket on the wireless, but otherwise the machines are all open. We want to get most, if not all, the macs to authenticate against LDAP or AD (preferrably AD). So I guess we need the Macs clients to go directly to the AD and authenticate, and also have the Macs controlled by the server (privledges, software update, printing, etc).
Question one:
Best way to approach this?
Question two:
How do you get the clients to point to the server if they are getting their IP's from another DHCP server.
(would this be done in directory access via ????)
All the info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

My macbook pro with OS 10.6.7 'mail' program does not send my mail through the IPS wireless, I am connected to. The message is my 'e-mail is rejected by the server'. It has been working until 5 days ago. The connection doctor says I am connected and no log in required.
After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
Thanks for your help

I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.

Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

New computer ~ Help with setting up

Hi everyone, Newbie here!
I am going to set my new computer up tomorrow. The computer I am using at present was installed and set up by someone else so this will be a great learning curve for me. Also I had Infinity installed by the engineer.
Is everything I need to install relating to my broadband available to download? What do I need altogether? I spoke to a BT chap on the phone and he said he would help by remote access. I am a bit nervous of this!
I need to ensure my computer is safe and secure and it all seems technically daunting. Norton security came with my Microsoft Office package. Is this better than McAfee (Net Protect Plus), do I need both? What about a key code scrambler (someone mentioned this to me). As you can see I need reassurance and help arghhhhhhh.
A step by step guide would be great!
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is best not to install any of the BT software, just connect your computer to the BT Home hub using an Ethernet cable, or by using the wireless key, if its a wireless connected computers.
See http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14964/~/getting-started-with-wireless
Using a direct cable connection is best, if you want to get maximum speed.
I would not allow anyone remote access, but if you have no choice, and cannot resolve the issue any other way, then make sure that it is as a direct result of you ringing BT, and not some random person ringing you at home, pretending to be from BT or even Microsoft.
Many people have been caught out by that type of call, and had their computer infected with spyware.
If you already have a trial version of Norton Security, then by all means use it until it expires, then uninstall it.
After that, you have the choice of using the free Microsoft Security Essentials, which is preferred by many forum members, or using BTs Netprotect which is free with some broadband packages. This has been known to make computers run more slowly though.
That is all you need.
If you have any problems, then please return here.
If you have any problems with BT Infinity, then please visit the Infinity board on this forum.

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
Any help is appreicated!
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,
Amy Wang

Mail Sent Items not Syncing with Rackspace Server

Hi,
My sent items are not fully syncing with my rackspace email account. Some items sent through Mail show up in the rackspace sent items and some do not. I am worried that emails are not being sent. Also, when replicating, Mail will show something like "outgoing messages 35 of 35", when I send a single email to a single individual. What is that all about?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi All
Just to add my solution in here. I was gaving the issue where all of my mail had synchronised, and all of my ical and all of addressbook. However, my sent mail folder was not syncing, and worse still, no new sent mail was being saved off in sent mail.
Initially I thought it was a mailbox size thing, so I archived off the majority of my mail on another machine, deleted the sent mails, and then let the other machine sync with Exchange.
However still the same issue on a tiny mailbox. After seeing this thread (pointed here by Apple Tech support - thanks Clement) i deleted all sent mails on another machine, jumped back onto mac mail.app and all was well.
I still have a weird issue with delinquent emails in sent mail that wont delete, but I can live with that.
I too wish that Apple would make a more robust mail application - Apple ProMail as part of the iwork suite anyone??

Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

I would like help with setting up time machine for backup.

You will need an external hard drive (formatted for a Mac).
Then you plug it in and go to system preferences>time machine and select the external HD and turn it on.
The backups are automatic.
