Mail App connecting to Exchange via IMAP - Address Book Images

Not a life or death problem, I have multiple accounts in Mail App - some using POP3, Some using IMAP. The IMAP accounts don't show Address Book images at all. The POP3 accounts are fine.
Odd one, any ideas why?

For the best Mac compatibility with Exchange, I suggest you use Microsoft Entourage, part of Microsoft Office.

Mail app and GroupWise mailbox via IMAP

I am using the Mail app to access my GroupWise mailbox via IMAP. I am experiencing the "neverending cache update" problems that others have reported in this forum, without any relief (shy of killing activities that appear to have stalled).
That aside, I have a question. The folder that stores mail message that I have sent in GroupWise is "Sent Items". The Mail app has gone ahead and created a "Sent Messages" folder in my mailbox for the same purpose. While this is somewhat of an inconvenience, the greater problem is that messages that I send via the Mail app are not recognized by GroupWise as "sent messages" by nature of not appearing in the "Sent Items" folder, which causes, among other things, filters to return incorrect results.
So... is there a way to control what folder the Mail app uses for sent messages on an IMAP mailbox, such as my GroupWise mailbox? (Other mail clients, such as Thunderbird, handle this situation well.)
Thanks.

Thank you... I suppose I should have said it didn't "seem" as flexible.
So, that is an improvement... now sent messages appear in the "Sent Items" folder as desired, rather than the "Sent Messages" that the Mail app created. One thing that I noticed now is that the message in "Sent Items" appears like it were a message stored in that folder, rather than one originating for the mailbox. Let me explain... messages sent from a native GroupWise client have attributes such as # recipients, # opened, # deleted, # accepted, #accepted, replied#, etc. None of these attributes appear for Mail app-originating messages. Is this a limitation or is there more magic to be aware of?
Thanks,

Mail doesn't seem to honor my address book

I recently updated to Tiger and since then all the rules I had set up previously are not being honored by Mail, nor is it recognizing addresses in Address Book when I am receiving my emails. It's as if I'm starting out with a blank Address Book and having to add all the addresses on incoming mail to my address book for Mail to recognize they are there. Messages are being directed to the Junk folder unless I have gone in and rewritten the rule for a specific address or group - then Mail recognizes that part of my address book and responds to the new rule.
Oddly enough, when I am composing, Mail sees my Address Book just fine and shows addresses as I type.
Has any one else run into that and if so, what did you do to correct the problem?
G4 dual, iBook G4, G3 desktop, Apple IIsi Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have sort of the same problem. I bought a new iMac a couple of months ago. Since then Mail does not seem to recognize my address book entries. It continues to ignore rules based on my address book. I got curious and looked at my previous recipients log. It shows address that are in my book as non members. Why. What would I have to do to fix it. I know its a small problem, but is very annoying.
Example.
Say [email protected] is in my Address book.
Mail refuses to see her in my Book. My previous recipients log shows it as a non address book entry.
Could it possible be because it is not the main email address. ie, it's a work address not a home address? Any help would be appreciated.
Thx in advance

Address Book Images Folder = 3 gigs and 30,000 files

Can anyone tell me why Address Book's images folder (Library/Application Support/Address Book/Images) gets to take up 3 gigs of space and contain more than 30,000 files? I like to have photos for people and companies in my address book, but I can't imagine why an address book with 354 cards would have a supporting images folder that friggin huge. Is this just bad programming on Apple's part? Using Quicklook, I can see that there are several images that are duplicated with different file names. What actions generate these duplicates? Is there a way to clean up this folder without completely dumping the contents?

HI Paul,
There's no way that is right.
Your profile indicates you are running 10.4.8 but you posted in the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum? If you have updated to 10.6 please click My Settings on the right side of this page and update your profile. Thanks. (iMac G5... PowerPC)?
Unless you have copy/pasted information for Address Book and contact information from the internet or e-mail, that's the only way I can think that could happen.
I don't see why you can't delete those images if they aren't in use.
If you are running 10.4, try installing the 10.4.11 combo update.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
As with any update, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

How to NOT use address book image as user icon?

Is it possible to not use my address book image as the user account icon in MacOS X?

I have the same issue and did not find any work around...
I use my address book on 2 machines (my macbook pro a@ work, my iMac @home).
But I want to have my user access with another icon @work (actually,my company logo)...
Despite removing it from the address book, it keeps on coming back...
Any hint will be welcome...

Connecting Mail.app to an exchange server.

     I am trying to connect up to an exchange server at work. I have gotten an iPod to connect with no problems and it linked to my work calendar. A fellow employee has done the same with their iPhone.
     The problem comes when I try and link up my mail.app to the same account. While it will allow me to link up with the exchange IMAP service it will not allow me to link up the exchange service. When I try and use exchange rather than IMAP it states that the exchange server is not responding.
     Using the networking tool I see ports for SMTP, IMAP and POP3. I am not sure which port would be for exchange but I do not see IMAP4 or any other promising leads. I am not sure which version of exchange this is but I am trying to find out.
     I am fully updated on all devices. I am not sure how to proceed here and would appreciate any advice.

Bueller…. Bueller….Bueller
Looks like I am connecting to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2. I know at one point pre-2007 was not supported, is this still the case? If it is how can I get the calendar to connect up to the server?

I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.
I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:

Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
Tools console.
Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario. With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

Corrupted attachments in Mail.app connecting to an IMAP server

Hi,
I'm using Mail.app to connect to our local IMAP server (over SSL). For a long while, I've had problems with large attachments being corrupted when I open a message in Mail. If I view the same message in our webmail client (which also talks to the IMAP server), the attachments are uncorrupted.
If I save a message as source and decode using a mime64 decoding tool, the attachments are corrupted in the same way as from within mail. This is most clearly visible when the attachment is a large jpeg.
If I remove the locally cached messages by deleting the /Library/Mail/IMAP-xxxxx folder, then re-download all the messages, the attachments will be often corrupted in a different position in the image.
Using another IMAP mail client (Thunderbird) on the same machine to connect to the same IMAP server shows no corruption in the same messages which are corrupted in Mail.app.
I can't say whether this problem was introduced with Tiger, but it has persisted for a long time. This problem is only for INCOMING attachments; I have had no problems with corruption in the attachments I send to others.
Other Tiger Mail.app users in the building have the same issue. Any suggestions to identify and fix this problem will be greatly appreciated. It's possible it's bug in Mail, and I would be happy to contribute any information or perform any testing required to fix it.
Using:
Mail.app v2.1 (752/752.2)
Thunderbird v1.5.0.7 (20060909)
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Build 8L127
1 Ghz Powerbook G4 with 1.25 GB RAM
Best regards,

The right way of doing that would be rebuilding the
mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox >
Rebuild. Does that make a difference?
Rebuilding the mailbox — no difference. The attachments are corrupted at a different position in the image, but still corrupted.
Another thing to try would be trashing the Mail
cache, i.e., quit Mail, in the Finder go to
Trashing the Mail Cache — no difference. The attachments are not re-downloaded from the server, and so the position of the corruption in the image doesn't change.
What happens if you move or copy the message to a
local "On My Mac" mailbox, and open the local copy
instead?
The local copy then has corrupted attachments.
/Library/StartupItems/
Empty.
/Library/InputManagers/
SIMBL
~/Library/InputManagers/
Empty.
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Empty.
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
GPGMail
Mail.appetizer
A quick test — disabling these plug-in components has no effect on the corrupted messages, even after re-building the mailbox in question.
I should point out again that it's not just my machine that's affected by this problem. I verified today that other users of the same server are also affected. This isn't likely to be caused by a quirky configuration on my machine.
Also, open System Preferences, and go to
Accounts > Login Items. What do you see
there?

Mail Sender Adapter for Exchange 2007 IMAPS account

Hi everybody,
I have the following todo:
I configured a Mail Sender Adapter that is supposed to fetch mails from an IMAP account.
The mails contain text files with data to be processed by XI 3.0 SP 22.
The mail server is Exchange 2007 and requires IMAPS. IMAP is not enough. I read the notes
- 893590 - XI 3.0 Mail sender adapter with IMAP or POP with SSL problem
- 856599 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 Mail Adapter
and configured the sender apapter as follows:
URL:                     imaps://<ip address>/owa
Authentication method:     Plain
User:                    <domain>\<user>
Password:                       topsecret
Poll Interval: 5
The first challenge is to setup the adapter with SSL. To do so, I added the Exchange server's
root SSL certificate in the default truststore service-ssl via the KeyStorage service.
This is necessary, as far as I know, to successfully validate the Exchange server's trusted
certifacate which is being transfered to XI during SSL handshake.
Since the communication channel in RWB is in status error with following message:
mail client job stopped completly
exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 001I NO owa doesn't exist.
mail client job scheduled,
I do not know how to setup SSL for IMAPS. I successfully tested a PING to the Exchange server.
Are there already experiences with Exchange 2007?
What I have to do to fetch mails from an Exchange 2007 IMAPS folder/account with a Mail Sender Adapter?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi,
It should be imap and not imaps.
You can try imap://xxx.xxx.de:993/Inbox
Make sure that port 993 is correct. If you have doubt, then you may try 143 which is default port instead of 993 in the above url.
regards,
ganesh.

How to make friends Apple Mail.app vs MS Exchange:-)

Hi,
Help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange local adresses. 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.

Was an issue with Exchange public folders and IMAP clients (like MacMail)

Why won't Mail.app connect to iCloud mail?

I'm having a problem getting Mail app to connect to iCloud, iOS and iCloud web mail seem to be working fine with my @me.com/@iCloud.com address but Mail app on my mac is showing wh I try to add my account:
The iCloud IMAP server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
Gmail has/is connected fine, why not iCloud?
Thanks!

My internet connection is fine, but it won't let me change my incoming mail server to the icloud address. What do I do?
When you set up an iCloud account, it should set the correct incoming and outgoing mail servers. Why do you wish to change the servers? What are they showing that you think is not correct?

Mail + IMAP + Address Book = Phantom Inbox

I searched the archives and found some topics that I thought might apply, but none seemed to. So here is a new question.
I have two accounts in Mail, all are IMAP. Both are hosted on Dreamhost.
I am able to confirm this is a consistent behavior and not a one-off thing.
When contacts that are in my Address Book send me mail, I get an indicator in Mail's Dock icon that I have a message.
However, when I switch to Mail and click on "Inbox" or any of the individual mailboxes, there is nothing there. At this point, the dock icon usually stops showing a new unread message indicator.
I did figure out, however, that if I log into Dreamhost's webmail that the messages show up in my inbox there.
Only after the messages are marked read, and sometimes only after they are moved to a subfolder in webmail, do they show up in my inbox in Mail.
This is particularly frustrating because of the fact that these are Address Book contacts – my wife and important business contacts. I end up missing mails if I'm not paying attention or don't check webmail often.
Summary:
2 IMAP Accounts
Mail dock icon shows new unread messsage
Inbox is empty
New unread message indicator disappears
Check via webmail
Messages show there
After marked read or sometimes moved to a subfolder and back to inbox, message shows in Mail
Only happens with contacts in Address Book
Reproducable behavior
Through testing (adding and removing a Gmail account to Address Book and sending from there), I have confirmed that if the person is removed from Address Book, the message shows. If they are added and another message comes, the message does not show. Removed again, the same message appears in inbox.
I'm using:
10.4.6 (this has been happening through multiple OS updates)

Either you have a rules problem or your mailbox needs to be rebuilt:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.0, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
4. Launch Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering again, and configure it however you wish. You may want to shut down the Internet connection before launching Mail to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled.
5. Determine whether the problem persists or not. In either case, quit Mail and move the rules files from the Desktop back to HOME/Library/Mail/, replacing the new files Mail may have created there.
Now, if moving the rules files out of the Mail folder fixed the problem, then you know there is something wrong with them. Otherwise, your mailbox probably needs to be rebuilt. Select it in Mail and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

Mail Setup Fails- Pop, Exchange and Imap- Desktop Mail works fine

I dont know whats going on with this iphone. I cannot configure mail to connect to any of the connection styles. We use exchange. owa, pop and imap are enabled. Desktop mail client connects fine to POP and Exchange.
I double checked all the settings. No luck. I get an error saying the server is not responding. I've tried the ip address as well.
On a whim, i disabled FBA on the exchange server. no luck.
Security setting were checked. Password was authentication method. Just like the desktop.
We are using exchange 2003. Anyone have any info to share.

Rebooting the Mac fixed the problem. I have no idea why. Still unable to locate the mail ssl certificates.
