I cannot set-up my EXCHANGE account with Apple Mail 4.0

I'm a school teacher for a charter school. I check my emails at home from
http://mail.starsmiddleschool.org/exchange/
When I arrive at that page, I type in my username and password.
I have a Macbook 2,1 laptop with Snow Leopard updated and installed. I really want to have my Exchange account synced with my laptop so that I don't have to constantly be visiting the website.
I have looked online for days and days for suggestions, but nothing's worked. My administration isn't too helpful on this matter.
If someone could please tell me what I need to do. I know that I go to my Mail: Preferences--> Accounts--> click on "plus" sign --> type in the password and username...
After that I get lost.
Questions:
1. Exactly what should my outgoing and incoming servers look like??
2. Am I a "Exchange 2007" or "Exchange IMAP" account??
I am sooooooooo appreciative of any responses...Thank you all!

"Actually, it's always been marketed as interaction with Exchange 2007 only."
No, that's not correct. Not even a little bit. It was MARKETED as providing Exchange support. The fine print said it was only with 2007. One of the first truly underhanded things I've seen Apple do.

Problem setting up ATT email account with Apple Mail

I have a main ([email protected]) and sub email account ([email protected]) with ATT/Yahoo (formerly SBC).
I set these accounts up on Apple Mail for the first time, and selected the option "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message "RIGHT AWAY". But Apple Mail would not allow me to select that option for both the primary and sub account. It allowed me to select that option for the first account I set up (the sub account), but when I tried to select that option for the second account (the main account), it would not permit me to save the option and gave me the following error message:
The account path /Users/edelbert/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.att.yahoo.com is already being used by the account "GIFilm"
It will allow me to select the option to remove the copy AFTER ONE WEEK, but then I receive the same message over and over each time Apple Mail checks the ATT server.
ATT claims that it is the result of an SSL conflict between its software and Apple's, and claims that Apple has created a bug fix, but I can find no evidence of such a patch.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

As far as I can tell, the problem might be with my password. It's working on my iPhone, but not my computer.
If it's just a matter of changing the password, it's cool. But I can't figure out how to change the password.
Any ideas on changing the password in mail preferences?
Thanks,
mhh

HT1277 why i cannot set up my exchange account into my iphone 4s. everything that needs to input has been provided right, but error says cannot get email not connected to the srver.where seems to be the problem?pls help.btw,i have an outlook for macbook

please help me find out the solution to the problem.
My iphone 4S was not able to fetch mails from the server ( outgoing and incoming)
I was trying to configure my exchange account and follow all the procedures correctly but am having trouble in sending and receiving mails as the error says " cant get mails cannot connect to the server? where seems to be the problem?
Have read from the support services that if you using a Pop3 account into another device which I did ( my email was configured via outlook for mac in my macbook) there might be a lock out problem and cannot get emails on the second device which is my iphone? ( I want to set up my exchange account to my iphone so wherever and whenever i go i cant still access to my email easily. Please help.

No one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.

how do you set up and exchange account for google mail

If it's a free gmail account, you don't. Google no longer permits free accounts to be set up using Exchange Active Sync. Only paid google apps accounts can be set up as Exchange accounts.

No problems in setting up the same account on the Mail client on my iPhone and iPad, but each attempt on my iMac gets me this message: "There was a problem setting up the Mail account. Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "myaccount.com".
Any ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
FYI -- what you are attempting to do is use your BB, via BIS, to access your work email via their OWA environment. While that is supported, it can be tricky. I, honestly, could never get mine to configure via the device interface to BIS (Setup > Email Settings). Only by using a PC and going to my carriers BIS website could I get my OWA configured in BIS. You may need to do the same.
You can find your carriers BIS website via this portal:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F
And you can find the specific detailed instructions for configuring OWA in this KB.
There are some limitations concerning OWA, but let's hold off on discussing those until you try out the above procedure.
Oh...btw...you will have to create credentials for your BIS account so that, when you log into it from a PC/browser, your carrier can identify and authenticate you. Typically, I find it easier to create the BIS credentials on the BB interface to BIS...then you can enter them in the BB interface, with the 'Remember Me' checkbox so that you only have to enter them one time on the BB itself. Then, when you use your carriers web interface to BIS, you will use those credentials to log in and conduct the OWA configuration.
Cheers!

Problems setting up multiple exchange accounts with same user name

Hello,
I have two email addresses on the same exchange server at work that I would like to configure on my iPhone4 running iOS 4.3.3. I can setup the first email just fine but when I set up the second email iOS tells me " Cannot Create Account: An identical Exchange account already exists". Here is a working example:
[email protected]
[email protected]
username and password for both email1 and email2 are the same credentials. Am I getting this error message b/c the username for both accounts is the same? if so is there a workaround for it without having to change the username for one of the accounts?
Any help would be appreciated. Also, we are using Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. From all the information I can find, iOS doesn't allow you to access multiple Exchange accounts using the same credentials. I'm not sure if this is a restriction of iOS or a restriction of Exchange ActiveSync.

Character encoding problem by Gmail set up as exchange account on IOS mail

It was maybe asked before but I could not find any solution. If someone can help I would appreciate it...
If I set up my gmail, which I use very heavily, as Gmail on the IOS mail installation it would be set up as IMAP and does not push the emails. If I choose it to install as exchange account via m.google.com everything is OK and I get my mails instantly. But the way over exchange disturbs because of the character encoding problem. IOS mail does not show me the turkish or some german characters like "ü" and the mail is almost not readable... By version 1 also as IMAP there is no problem with the characters but I must start IOS mail everytime to see if I have new mail...
Does anyone know a solution for it?
Thanks...
Mel

But I cannot set the the gmail app as standart email program, or? I mean if I want to send a page on safari and click send via email, the mail.app would start and not the gmail.app.... I am using Iphone since a few weeks and as far as I know a customisation is not possible.

Set up exchange account in apple mail 2.0.5

hi-
we have a user who is the only mac in a windows network environment. he is currently using pop3 to access email from our exchange 2003 server, but now he would like to start using Exchange for access. all of his settings look right, although when apple Mail tries to connect to the exchange server, an error comes up:
"Connection Failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "Exchange Account" or try again. The server error encountered was: The server "server.domain.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143"
also, in the mail connection doctor an error says:
"Could not connect to this Exchange server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences."
can anyone help? should i be changing any settings on the server, or using Entourage or IMAP? what do you guys think?
thanks a bunch - i appreciate it!!

Can I copy emails between an IMAP account and an Exchange account, via Apple Mail client?

If I have an IMAP account configured in my Apple Mail client profile, and then I also add an Exchange 2010 Server account to that same profile, can I use the Apple Mail client to copy folders and messages from my IMAP account, into my mail store on the Exchange Server account?

Pop mail accounts must be set up to 'leave messages on the server'.
check this before using.
* Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
or
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
select: 'leave messages on the server'
optional: select: 'for at most xx days' this will delete anything older than specified number of days select 'Until I delete them' when you delete an email it will be deleted off the server.
click on Ok to save settings.
Pop mail accounts only look at Inbox and download whatever has not been previously downloaded regardless of whether it has been read or not. They cannot access nor download from any other folder on the server.
If you wanted to download emails in other fodlers, you would have to move emails into the Inbox in order to download them and this may not be very practical in your situation.
What you can do is synchronize your IMAP folders to get a copy downloaded to your IMAP mail account.
Then go into 'offline' mode to stop any further synchronizing as synchronized folders do get updated.
MozBackup tool could now be used to backup the Profile as synchronising created mbox files which contain emails.
You can also do the following to get a copy outside of the IMAP mail account:
Create the same folders in 'Local Folders'.
Then right click on email and 'copy to' and select Local Folders and the folder you require.
Putting a copy in Local Folders means these emails are also on your computer and they are not influenced by anything you do in the IMAP folders.
You would need to backup emails in these folders.

Exchange 2003 with Apple mail

Issue setting up new imap account on apple mail

I’ve had a number of comcast.net email accounts for many years. They were originally set up and continue to use POP protocol. They all work fine on Apple Mail. I recently set up one new comcast.net email account. This new account is IMAP and it appears that’s the only choice one now has for new accounts. I asked Apple Mail to set up an account for this new address and it did so.
It works maybe half the time. The other half the time, I get an error message on Apple Mail for this one account only that says,
“Unable to open “xxxxxx” The connection to the server “imap.comcast.net” on port yyy timed out.
The referenced port would appear to be the correct one for sending secure imap email.
Any thoughts as to why connecting to this one imap email account on comcast is problemmatic???
