Mac Mail and Exchange Account errors

I'm using Mac Mail 2.1.1. and having errors when trying to set up an Exchange Account. I can get all the way to the end and then when I click the done button, it quits on me. When I re launch, nothing was created.
I've tried and tried with no luck.
Any ideas anyone?

I have the same problem. I also find that partial sent email end up in my drafts. Deleted email ends u nack in my inbox. Mail I move to floderes ends up back in my inbox.
My productivity has gone to zero!!!

Mac Mail and aol accounts

I have a friend running an IntelMini Mac who has just switch his adsl from aol to talktalk. (UK). His OS is 10.5.2.
I have spent two hours on it this morning trying to retrieve his aol emails from the AOL server but each time it requests a password which it says is incorrect. Logging into the AOL website and his email shows 141 messages unread but non will download into Mac Mail even though I believe it is set up correctly. Incoming is imap.aol.com and outgoing is smtp.aol.com. The username and password is correct (as used on the AOL web page) but nothing comes in. I've even tried his settings on my mac with the same effect. I'm baffled completely. The fact is his settings worked before the switch to talktalk and I'm now wondering if it could be a setting in his adsl router.

I've been having the same problems recently with AOL using 10.4.11 and Mail 2.1.3. It started about 2 weeks ago suddenly. I have been using Mail with AOL about a year now, without problems. I can retrieve my incoming mail, but have lots of trouble SENDing mail. At times, it rejects the password; at other times, it sits and spins, and then comes up with "can't send" message (takes 5 secs to as long as 2 minutes for this to happen); AND at other times, it goes through lickedy-split! I don't get it. I am using the correct settings (see above post by ali brown) as I always have. I think it is AOL.

Outsourced IT Department and their fear of Mac Mail and Exchange

My company recently outsourced a portion of our IT Department (the "mechanical/e-mail server" portion) to a local Enterprise Level IT Company. The service so far has been well above average for the Windows side of the company. While on my side of the company (the Mac side), the side where everything we sell gets created and then churned out to the production floor; the service has been riddled (in my the common employee's opinion) with fear of a Platform that they have no want nor desire to support.
Now to the crux of my post!
Does anyone anywhere have tips, know of a book ,or series of webisodes that for dyed in the wool IT Guys; explains that the Mac's we run and the software on them will not cause their servers, clients or themselves any undue harm?
Or at the very least something that will say that there will not be more harm from the Mac side of things as the PC side of things?
If you have anything that might be considered relevant to my cause please let me know!

Mac Mail and MS Exchange Syncing Issues

I have seen this issue mentioned in the forum, but have not found any answers to help.
I have receive mail through Exchange from the university for which I work. I get the mail on my iPhone just fine. However, it does not come through on my MacBook Pro. I have to go into preferences and disable the account and then enable it again and then everything comes through. I am not sure what the problem is. I have updated my operating system to 10.9.2. This has worked fine in the past, but is not working properly now. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I can assure you that integration between Mail and Exchange is possible, at least in some scenarios. I am the primary Exchange system administrator for a medium-sized university that uses Exchange 2003 with an OWA (Outlook Web Access) front-end server.
I currently have Mail and Entourage 2004 running side by side on my just upgraded Mac. I used the mail account configuration wizard with ease. Go to the the Mail Preferences and click on Accounts. You can use the '+' button to add an account. Supply your full name and email address to the wizard and click continue. In the Account Type selection, choose Exchange. Type a friendly description such as "Exchange - Your Name". To get things to work correctly, you may need to know on what backend server your mailbox resides. You will also need to know what your OWA server is named on the network. You will also need to know what server is your outgoing mail server. This will likely be the same as your OWA or backend server. You should be able to retrieve those items from your Entourage settings. In my configuration, I was able to put the name of my OWA server (ex. owa.company.com) in both the Incoming Mail Server and Outlook Web Access Server fields as well as the outgoing mail server.
I am not sure how the configuration will vary with Exchange 2007 or in an environment without an OWA server. There are also issues with Address Book Integration of the Global Address List in Leopard in situations where there are multiple domains in a single forest. In that regard, contacts won't automatically resolve as they do in Entourage in many cases.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

I accidentally deleted all my husband's Mac mail and now it is also gone from his gmail account. How can I retrieve the deletd messages?

Did you also empty the trash can? If you did not empty the trash, then likely mail moved the messages to the trash folder on GMAIL.

HT201320 how do you set up and exchange account for google mail

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.

UAG problems with OSX - same problem with Mac Mail and Outlook 2011 (via EWS)

Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix the last snagging issue I have with OSX clients in a UAG / Exchange 2010 deployment:
When trying to connect Mac Mail or Outlook 2011 the connections are very slow to start up, both at initial config and thereafter.
On connection I see lots of the same error re Session Cookies in UAG and no connection in the mail client. If I leave it for a few minutes, sometime many minutes, the errors stop and I eventually get a working connection.
The error is:
"Sesson Attempted to Access Restricted Application"
User with source IP address x.x.x.x tried to access application Exchange EWS that was restricted that was restricted for the session. This might indicate an intrusion attempt by misusing the session cookie.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Many thanks
Steve

Ruud, no, we didn't find a solution, or rather our solution (so far) is to tell users not to use Mac Mail and to use Outlook 2011 instead, which seems to work fine (after some Office updates!)...and we haven't upset anyone with that requirement
(yet).
There are some very long discussions on Apple support forums about the whole Mavericks / Mac Mail / Exchange 2010 issues.
I do hope to have another go at this problem sometime soon, I'm sure there must be a solution (and my money says it relates our hardware load balancers).

Mail and Exchange 5.5 Server (Round 2) "Rejected Passwords"

Mail and Exchange 5.5 Server (Round 2) "Rejected Passwords"
This one is huge, as you may have seen in my other replies to Mail and Exchange Server, I have had this working for over a year no issues.
Every once in a while I get a user that I setup and all of the sudden their password on the Exchange (5.5) Mail server (running IMAP, OS X Mail app)
is REJECTED.
This is just no good, and still to me a Mystery.
Has anyone seen this?
It seems there is some corruption happening on the Exchange Server, with the users accounts, preferences, settings.
The one way to fix it, (that I have seen) and the Windows server guys hate this, but I say too bad, completely move the afftected User's Exchnage e-mail account to another Exchanage NT mail server (they have 6 old NT 4, Exch Servers), once that is done, Mac OS X Mail app connects fine and ha no more issue with Rejecting passwords.
Any feedback appreciated, thanks,
[email protected]

I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
Thanks for any info and help!

Problems accessing mail on Mac Mail and Safari

I'm having problems with accessing my email account, both through Mac Mail and Safari. The domain appears to be blocked. I receive the following error message when I click on the alert icon beside my inbox in Mail:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “***” or try again.
The server returned the error: The server “email domain” cannot be contacted on port 993.
In Safari, I receive a message that it can't find the server when I try the URL.
Both methods of accessing email work on my laptop on the same internet connection, so it appears to be a problem unique to this machine.
What should I do?
Will

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
wmail.speakeasy.net
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

Mac Mail: Gmail IMAP Connectivity Error

Hi,
"The server returned the error: The server “imap.gmail.com” cannot be contacted on port 993"
I am having this error when connecting to my google gmail accounts via IMAP. It works on and off. Mostly the symptom occurs after waking up from sleep mode. It started with Maverciks, but got worse with latest 10.9.2 release. Quitting the Mac Mail and restarting it fixes it.
It is getting very annoyying as the frequency of this issue has gone up.
ramana.

I also have this problem with paid Google Apps service using Mail.app on 10.9.1.
The syncranisation is very slow, and during the sync process the mail application is not responsive and Inbox does not show any new mail that has come in.
Performing a packet capture ("netstat -na | grep .993" to find IP address of Gmail server connected), and then runnning "sudo tcpdump -w ~/Desktop/gmail host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" shows that in 20 minutes, total amount of data transferred to/from Gmail is only 1.6 Megabytes!
The "All Mail" folder is disabled for IMAP under Gmail settings. There is a lot of mail on Gmail (6GB), but Mail.app has already 11GB of data in the accounts ~/Library/Mail/V2/[email protected]@imap.gmail.com folder.
Mail.app -> Window -> Activity shows very slow "Adding Messages"
It looks like the users which have less than 2GB of mail, do not seem to be affected.

Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders. Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).

I recently installed OS 10.8, and now my mail and calendar accounts want to default to my sister and her email address?

Here is my situation:
My sister and I have shared an Apple ID ever since I bought my sister an iPhone on my cell phone account. We each have Mac laptops and had no problem syncing to separate Gmail/Exchange accounts but still share an Apple ID for convenience.
However, after I installed Mountain Lion, the account settings in Systems Preferences will default to having my sister's name instead of mine. I would change the name to my own, enter my own Gmail and Exchange accounts and everything will appear okay, but then, when I come back, the name automatically reverts to my sister's! (The email address and other account information remains my own though.)
If this were the only issue, I would be able to deal with it, but the most bothersome aspect is when I try to make an appointment in Calendar and set an alert email to myself, the only options are my SISTER's email addresses. I don't even have an option to change it. When I was running 10.6.8, the email address options were my own address.
I am flummoxed as to where my computer is getting my sister's name and email address. I went into my Apple ID account and no where does it list my sister's name or email address. How do I remedy this?
Thanks in advance,
Tuan
***I figured it out by the answers that popped up after I posted. Apparent this is a frequent problem. Somehow, my sister was assigned as "Me" in Contacts after the install (I still don't know how.) But after I changed me to me, the alert email address were mine.

When I wake my computer up from sleep all the Mail and Calendar accounts are offline?

Now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I wake my computer from sleep all of my Mail and Calender accounts are offline. This includes Gmail, AOL, and iCloud accounts. The connection doctor in Mail says that Mail can connect to the internet but puts red dots next to all of my accounts stating that connections to both the IMAP and SMTP servers could not be made. This issue has shown up only after upgrading to Mountain Lion, and the only way to resolve it seems to be to manually quit and relaunch Mail and Calender at which point everything goes back to normal until I sleep the computer again. Any ideas?

Further to my previous post... I think I may have stumbled uppon a solution.
Summary: When I fixed a problem with dictation, mail started working again.
Background: I noticed that after upgrading to 10.8.1 the dictation feature no longer worked. When I pressed [fn] twice the dictation bubble would appear, three dots in it would shake and then it beeped. No dictation. I searched for a solution, tried it out and dictation worked again. Then, this morning I opened up my Mac and mail sucessfully downloaded without having to restart mail.app!
Solution: This is a fix for dictation issues so don't blame me if it messes up your perfectly working dictation! However, it appears to have fixed my mail problems:
Locate and delete the file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.assistant.plist (Finder’s Go and press and hold Alt option). Then restart your Mac, turn off Dictation (Apple > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, and then click Dictation) and reboot your Mac a second time and try again.
The original thread is here.
So, a random "solution" with beneficial side effects! Let me know it works for you.

C6-00 mail for Exchange account consumes a lot of ...

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up push mail for my gmail account. I have tried RoadSync application and built-in 'Mail for Exchange' account in my phone. While RoadSync after one hour of instance connection consumes about 100kB of transfer built-in account consumes mega bytes of transfer. It activates connection every 10-20 sec and send and receive data. In both cases I didn't receive any new message.
Does anyone of you has the same problem and can explain me why my phone is updating all the time? Push mail suppose to receive data only when new email is on my inbox, not all the time. Do you know how to reduce this data consumption? I don't care if my phone reads a lot of data because I have unlimited Internet but it also takes a lot of battery and that's my major problem.
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
JaCKubi

I had this same problem with my C6-00 and my older E71. I could not get GMail to successfully syncronise using Nokia Mail for Exchange.
I ended up purchasing another client from the Ovi Store (RoadSync) which works perfectly.
I am not pleased that Nokia's client doesn't work with my service, but the RoadSync client was quite cheap (US$6.60) and hasn't failed me once.
