Mail App to my exchange server in order to download my global contact list?

I am trying to configure my Mail application to my Exchange Account. It syncs up with no issues but I am unable to download my global contact list and use it within the app itself? Any suggestions?

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?

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.

Mail.app problems with Exchange Server

Hi,
I've got a Mail.app 4.2 version and a company Exchange 2007 e-mail address account.
Recently, I've changed from Entourage for Mail.app since, we couldn't configure the new account to Entourage anymore. This is because we've changed Exchange Service Provider.
I've changed to Mail.app without problems a few months ago. But, recently, since 3 weeks ago, I receive my e-mails just fine, iCal and Address Book keep all sync. Everything is fine except when I delete an e-mail from my Exchange Account or even drag them to another folder, it doesn't work. It remains always at the Inbox Exchange Account.
I guess it started to do this after a software upgrade from Apple.
Anyone has a solution for this? I tried to rebuild the Mailbox and Delete and Create the account again, but doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Finally I've figured out what happened for not syncing anymore what I did on the Mail.app mailbox of my Professional Exchange account.
So, the problem was the MailTags plugin: http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
I don't know if it was after the Trial Period that went rogue, or this has happen since the install, but when I've uninstalled it, it worked just fine.
Hope this help someone with the same problem.

I use the MAIL app with Microsoft Exchange server- prob with attachments

Occasionally I get an email in MAIL that I KNOW has an attachment but it doesn't appear in my MAIL client. I see no attachment icon at all. I have to go to WEB-MAIL to retrieve it and sure enough it's there. Has anyone else encountered MAIL's idiosyncratic behavior in this regard?
Another "sometimes" problem is with HTML emails. Sometimes they come in with no graphics, mostly text, lines etc, and sometimes they even look like CODE.
I think (hope) these things will be solved with Snow Leopard, but in the meantime... Anyone?

I gave up on mail for exchange and use Entourage for my exchange mail - not helpful I'm afraid but mail simply does not work well with exchange in my experience (and in lots of other's)

Mail is changing my Exchange server address

So I work offsite from my office and the office has it's own Exchange 2007 server. When I add my email to Mail.app, it autodiscovers my settings and properly sets up my account.
The issue happens when I exit the app and re-open the app, I start getting errors and find that Mail.app has changed my internal server address to something different, and I have to change it back again to the right one, ie:
Correct address:
mobile.xxxxxxxxxx.com
Wrong one that Mail.app changes the address to:
exchange.xxxxxxxxxx.com
Anyone know how to keep it from doing that?

Figured it out.
I let Mail.app change the internal server to the exchange.xxxxxxxx.com address, and added the mobile.xxxxxxx.com address to the external server field, and everything works without errors now.

Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server

Is anyone here using Apple Mail with Office 365 Exchange server on Mountain Lion? I have just upgraded to Mt Lion and decided to switch from Outlook to Apple Mail.app. My account was added successfully. Even contacts, calendar, tasks and notes work very well. My problem with Mail.app is that it does not sync any emails in subfolders prior to the day I added the account to Mail. For any older emails I have to open Outlook for Mac and look it up there. Other than this issue Mail is working well for all new incoming and outgoing emails.
Thanks

I Found a workaround. Please look at this other link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6615135

Apple Mail random messages disappear Exchange Server 2007

I've had this problem for several months and have been biting the bullet. I am a tech at ASU.
Seemingly random messages don't appear in my inbox. From any source or domain.
I have noticed some consistency in that messages are more likely to disappear if I have viewed them with a blackberry. Also, after a reply, I am more likely to not see the original message.
*I think the problem is related to synching, not sure if it's on the Mail client or an exchange server setting.*
I have tried rebuilding everything, changing my settings to not delete or move things --no rules etc.
I have observed this phenomena when the blackberry is out of the equation. I have observed it after a fresh install of Leopard. It has been close to a year. Out exchange admins are not familiar with AppleMail and are not inclined to change any settings to be more Mail friendly.
I am willing to keep my exchange mailbox down to a certain size, apply whatever changes or third party synch clients if it will resolve the issue. This is clearly a incompatibility with Exchange and Mail, but the rest of my peers at the University do not have this issue :/
Your help and advice would be sooooo appreciated, you have no idea. Thanks ~Steve

I have the latest version of Snow Leopard, 6.1, installed. I've been trying to hook up Mail to our Exchange 2003 server for a few days with no luck. Any hints? I've trying to use the same settings I have in my Entourage account. No dice. I've tried both Exchange 2007 and Exchange IMAP.
Anything I should know besides our Exchange server address? I've tried from within the Company and from my home. The message I get is always the same:
+"The Exchaange IMAP server "xxx" 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"+
Maybe something needs to be done at the server end to accept Apple Mail?
Anyway, any hints are welcome.
Thank you, Cerrense

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

How to create global Contact list using OSX Server Contacts Service?

My goal is to create a global contact list for the use of my department at work. We currently have 5 MBP's and a Mac Mini Server running OSX Server.
I have read so many forum posts and so called "solutions" that my head is completly spinning... like a record... right round... you get the idea.
I talked with Apple Support, and they are going to walk me through the process of changing our network from "local" to a legitimate internet network. Enabling DNS and setting up open directory are some of the steps, and all in all i was impressed with the support i received. We did a complete walkthough of all the steps it would take to change everything, without actually making any changes (because I could not shut down the company server at the time I called).
All that being said, I have been reading that actually creating and sharing a global contact list (and enabling specific user access for read/write for said list) is not as simple as Apple is telling me. I have read so many horror stories about not being able to edit the list, having duplicate lists and entries, and many other problems. It seems that this "Contact Service" is not really what its billed as.
Im just looking for someone who has this already setup to shine some light on my questions/concerns. I have scoured the internet for information, and either i'm looking in the wrong place or I just happen to have the WORST possible combination of OS X versions, server versions and so on. I would expect a company who charges such high prices for its products to design them to ACTUALLY WORK how they are advertised to work!
Thanks in advance and a thousand kudos to anybody that can help!!!
-John

That sounds like one viable option...
The only problem is that I'm not sure how that would behave once the client MBP's are taken off site and connect to the network over a VPN or something of that sort.
I figure since we have purchased the Server App and it contains the Contacts Service, I should try and get it to work that way (through that specific service on the server app).
I would really prefer to not have to install yet another piece of software just to do something that should already work (or have the ability to be configured to work). None of us here are "Power Users", and we are all learning as we go and I got the role of the "IT Guy" when it comes to setting everything up. I'm dealing with lifetime Windows users here, and I feel there is a need to keep everything literally as easy as possible to use.
I will keep your solution in the front of my mind though, as it sounds like that may work. I am not exactly 100% familiar with the OSX Server or the Mac OS yet, and I'm not positive where you would add the users (I couldn't just sit down and do what you suggested, i unfortunately would need a step by step solution so I don't fuss up our entire system).
If you feel like giving a step by step, that would be awesome just for future reference or for anyone else having similar problems. If not, I don't blame you at all.
Thanks for your reply, and if I find a clear-cut solution I will post it here!
Thanks,

All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
No need ,by design exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
Please reply me if you have any queries .
Regards
S.Nithyanandham
Thanks S.Nithyanandham

I lost my contacts and mail folders on my exchange server but they are still on my MAC. How can I resync?

I run both a MAC and a PC with two different mail clients Entourage vs. Outlook. I have never had a problem with the clients syncing with the Exchange server until I did an archive of all emails in outlook that were older than this year. Now some subfolders have disapeared on the PC and the Exchange server but still show up in Entourage. How can I resync Entourage to the Exchange and have Exchange server "accept" the Entourage folders as correct?
Also I use an Iphone and backup to the icloud. So why did my contacts disapear from the iphone and are not restored via icloud? The missing contacts also disapeared from exchange.
Iphone 4s ver 5.1.1
Exchange 2003
MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.x ( I think - since the finder->about this Mac button doesnt work)
Entourage 12.3.3
Thanks so much.

Mountain Lion / Mac mail disconnects from MS Exchange server.

We use an MS Exchange account for our company email. We bought 2 new retina display MacBook Pros running Mountain Lion last Fall. My old laptop is still running Lion. Lion / Mac Mail works fine on the old laptop, never losing contact with the MS Exchange server. Mountain Lion / Mac Mail randomly loses contact with our exchange server on a regular basis. This results in a slow and painful re-download of 2 years worth of email while I have to resort to my old laptop to keep up with new incoming email. I check these discussions occasionally when I can find a spare moment and I have found some similar symptoms being complained about, but no solutions yet. There have been a couple of OS updates since we bought the new laptops, but alas, no mention of this problem. It seems no one is doing anything about it. Have I missed a post? Anyone have any suggestions? This is getting really old.
Thanks!

I was having the same issue! I finally found a solution to it!
1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them). Just to be safe, I'll list the files and folders you should delete or rename and their directory paths:
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers
com.apple.Notes.plist - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences
com.apple.Notes.savedState - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved
4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
NOTE: I also deleted all the stored information related to the exchange account in Keychain Access when I deleted the 4 com.apple files. This may or may not be necessary, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

I can't see my sent mail in Mail 6.1 using Exchange Server

In the past two weeks I've lost all sent mail in my Mail app (I'm on Exchange.) The mail is apparently still on the server because I can see it on my iPad and iPhone, but not on my MacBook Pro. "Store sent messages on the server" is checked and "Delete sent messages" is set to "Never" in my preferences and I'm on Mountain Lion and have installed all updates. Would appreciate any guidance. Also, all messages in Trash are showing just fine.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Any fix for mail stuck in outbox in Mail 5.1 (using Exchange Server 2010)?

Every couple of days I will notice that mail hasn't been sending from my Exchange email account in Apple's Mail 5.1. There doesn't seem to be any issues on the server side so it is probably something on my side of things.
I have checked my settings with our Exchange Server representatives and everything should be fine. The 'stuck' messages will send only if I take the account offline temporarily, move the messages to a draft folder, bring the account back on line and then drop the messages one by one back into the outbox.
First, I had to 'unhide' the Outbox just to notice the problem. Now, the outbox doesn't even show the unsent messages unless I take the account offline temporarily.
Anyone find a solution to this?

UNfortunately, the only "clue" I now have is that the emails get sent ONLY when I restart my computer!
This morning, I had a similar problem on my Mac Pro, but it was solved by quitting the Mail app. Not so this afternoon on my MacBook Pro. I had to restart.
This laptop has much less space left upon the HD than does my MacPro. But I must add, the problems on both have been getting worse over the last two days or so.
So, I am not encouraged.
As far as I can tell, I too have only been using one server--but the connection doctor does show two.
I have tried with both, with no difference in performance.
I am one of the people who had a dot.mac account from many years ago. I opted to continue with this, instead of going to the dot.me naming. By some strange chance, it that your situation, too?
At the moment, I can think of nothing else to try. Let's hope we solve this, for I think it bad for the computers to have to restart just to answer an email.

Mail.app and Netscape Messaging Server v3.6

We are trying to track down performance issues with Mail.app in both Tiger and Panther. Issues include how long it takes to download large attachments (PDFs upwards of 10MB), how long it takes to synchronize and cache, and other things that appear in Mail's activity window and never go away. Downloading large attachments puts a large CPU load on our mail server. We are looking at all variables -- switches, network configs, local client settings, etc. We are on a switched network with a mix of Gig and 100BT to the desktops. But my question here is: What might be the advantage of upgrading to a newer mail server? Our Netscape 3.6 software is very old, but the Sun hardware it lives on had a CPU upgrade last year. Even though the IMAP protocol itself has been pretty stable for years, would we find newer platforms more efficient with modern needs such as large attachments and inboxes that receive dozens of messages a day?

Wow, this is dusting off the cobwebs. NS 3.X has a different format for mail message, the IMAP data is contained in the first 400 bytes (or so) of the message file. So sending them through the deliver program is not an option, unless you strip the bytes off.
When you ran upgrade on an individual user, did you first remove the 4.15 mailbox with mboxutil -d?
