Mail.app with MS exchange deletion/fail to sync

Hello,
A couple of days ago I had my mail.app crash upon reload all my exchange folders and emails were deleted.  However, I can send and receive emails in my mail.app and they are kept in my computer.  However, all my previous emails and all the subfolders are gone.  When I go to my online exchange email account they are all there.  They don't sync with my computer. I have tried to reset my account through mail.app and all I get to sync are post crash.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
Thank you

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

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

  • 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)

  • My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

    MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
    My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
    Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App.  It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
    Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
    Thank you.

    Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
    the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this!  I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did.  Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
    The lesson learned, never assume - always double  check!  All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
    Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
    Cheers

  • Hi  i'm trying  to delete my bulk mail messages but it keep telling me this message"The IMAP command "DELETE" failed with server error: DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved "

    Hi  i'm trying  to delete my bulk mail messages but it keep telling me this message"The IMAP command “DELETE” failed with server error: DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved " is there any way to   delete of stop messages from coming into it ??
    thanks

    Sounds like the mail server thinks you are asking to delete the bulk-mail mailbox instead of some/all of the messages within it.
    How are you trying to delete your bulk mail messages? That is, what are you doing, step by step, up to the error message.
    What you should probably be doing is selecting the bulk mail mailbox, selecting one of more messages inside it, then hitting the "delete" key.

  • Multiple mailboxes when using mail.app with google in IMAP.

    Hello,
    I have just started using mail.app with IMAP and my google mail account appears to be in two place. The mail.app has the following interface in the left pane.
    MAILBOXES, REMINDERS, RSS and GMAIL all in grey. Below the MAILBOXES i have got the following folders, inbox, sent and trash and below the GMAIL, i have got a replication of the structure in my google account.
    which set of folders should i be using?
    when i deleet the mail in the MAILBOXES it does not seem to delete it in All Mail folder under GMAIL.
    IS the synchronisation between the mails in the mail.app and the google server on a periodic basis. can i force the synchronisation?

    Mail works fine with Exchange 2003. This is how our accounts are configured:
    Incoming Mail Server:your exchange server.domain.com.au
    eg. server2.bunnings.com.au
    Username: domain\User alias\Full username
    eg. bunnings\bobs\bob.smith
    SMTP: smtp.bunnings.com.au
    Web Access Server: webmail.bunnings.com.au
    You can then setup the LDAP options under the composing tab to get the email list from your Exchange server.
    And no i do not work for Bunnings!
    Good Luck!

  • Messages getting corrupted in Mail app with Gmail

    I'm having a following recurring problem with Mail app and my Gmail (company) account: At least once a day Mail app database is getting corrupted / out of sync with Gmail account. Mail is showing most of the mails correctly in the UI but some of the new messages are not the right ones but rather copies of older, typically already deleted emails. I.e. Instead of showing the real new msg content (subject, sender, msg body) it is showing in its place an older already deleted msg. How do I know: I go and check what Gmail webmail shows in browser window.
    Rebuilding account sometimes works, often not. Usually I have to rebuild, close mail app, start again to get it back in sync. I have tried once deleting all Envelope-index files in Mail Library so that it did a longer rebuild. Helped for few hours and then this started again. Mail app is getting corrupted at least once a day. Very annoying because I cannot trust what I see, but have to check constantly webmail, which I would rather not use as my main tool for mail.
    This problem started already with Lion and continued with Mountain Lion.
    I guess next step is to delete all my account & setting and re-configure Mail app. Any other tips?

    I'll chime in here to say that it affects me too.
    Using gmail and mail ActOn to move messages around in mail.app. I'll start trying to see if I can make the corruption happen without using ActOn. I didn't have this problem in 10.4; and I only spent a week with 10.5 so I don't remember it happening then.
    How do you identify the messages in the the finder for deleting so they can be re-downloaded? I've been accessing my corrupted attachments through gmail's web interface, so your work around would be easier than mine, assuming there is an easy way to find the right message.

  • Configuring mail account in Mail App with restriction account on

    Hi there,
    How is possible to create an account in Mail App with the restriction Accounts enable?
    I explain myself. I configure all the iPads of my business with the restrictions enabled and select "Don´t Allow Changes" on the Accounts tab.
    Settings > General > Restrictions> ( Enter Passcode ) >Enable Restrictions> Accounts > Don´t Allow Changes
    It suppouses to prevent any change or create an account on Mail App, but I´ve found a couple of iPads with a Yahoo and GMail account configured in the Mail App while the restrictions still enabled.
    Of course, users doesn´t know the Passcode and any of the general setting where modified.
    Is there any other way ( via web perhaps, no high tech at all ) to configure an account in a restricted iPad?
    I´m using iPad 2 ( iOS 5.0.1 )
    I can´t figure out how, and it´s driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks gyrhead for the answer.
    I do have Installing and Deleting Apps turned on so users can´t install or delete anything.
    Guessing a four digits passcode in 10 attemps is very dificult, I discard that option.
    There is somehow to add a Yahoo o Gmail account with account Restictions Enable.
    Safari has no restriction indeed, except "private brownsing", so it might come from that way, but I can´t figured out how you might configure a Gmail o Yahoo account straight to the Mail App using just Safari...

  • 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?

    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?

  • Remove attachments from mail app with imap account

    Hi Folks,
    I am quite frustrated. I am using Apple's mail app with Gmail (IMAP) and I want to remove all of my attachments from Gmail. I am using the 'remove attachment' feature of mail app to do this. However, it removes the attachment, then uploads a copy of the original email without the attachment. Therefore, I end up with two emails: The original and a copy without an attachment.
    I don't get it. I just want to remove the attachments from my emails. I don't want to delete the original email.
    Any thoughts?

    I am not sure when I will get the chance to test this -- maybe this afternoon. But I had not understood that what you called original continued to have the attachments. If so, this strongly suggests to me that it indeed may be the way Gmail maintains the All Mail folder that is causing this. See:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6581
    If there is a setting to help this, it will have to be one that is selected in the Settings webpage of Gmail, I suspect.

  • Mail.app with gmail setup question

    hello,
    i have a large gmail account i have been using with mail.app for a long time and all works normally. however the "gmail style" is getting a bit out of control for me with the duplicates in sent/all mail. my processing is simple, after reading an email i archive it (so my inbox is always clean) so it means i move it to all mail. but since sent messages are also in all mail i'm pretty sure mail.app is storing these messages twice and whenever you search for messages you always have to filter through the duplicates. I think there are some newer ways to sync mail.app with gmail and i just wanted to ask what's the best solution to this common issue?
    thank you,
    rick

    thanks for the reply. yes that is what i do sorry if i wasn't clear enough. actually the messages coming in are not duplicated since once i move them to All Mail there is only one copy there in All Mail. it's the sent messages since they are saved once in Sent and once in All Mail. does that make sense and how do other deal with this?
    thanks again,
    rick

    Whenever I send a email from iPad mail app with an attachment from pages or numbers, the receiver is getting only attachment in the email. They are getting the email content. How to troubleshoot this issue.

    Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line.  Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it.  It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

    What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
    If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

  • Mail app with Exchange memory leak

    I have Mail 5.3 on 10.7.5 running with one Exchange account and no other accounts. Every time I press the "Get new messages" button, or when it automatically does that, memory usage for the Mail app jumps by 3-5MB. Over time, this becomes substantial. I left Mail running on my work computer over the long weekend and came back to find it using over 4GB of RAM! A quit-restart of Mail drops it back to 70MB usage, but it grows again.
    Anyone else experience this? Is it related to the Exchange account? Any known fixes?
    Thanks!

    I think I found a solution. I was having trouble with Exchange, so I deleted the account then set it up again. After that process, I found that the Mail app no longer eats memory. Give it a try!
