Mail disappears/re-appears with exchange imap?

first off the specs and versions:
mbp running os 10.6.7
mail version 4.5 (1084)
i have been using mail.app for my email for over a year now, and have had this issue all along. i have my fetch timer set to one minute, and what happens is that i will receive an email, and then a minute later it disappears for a moment, then immediately re-appears. this happens with all of my email messages regardless of where or who sent them.
i connect to an exchange 2003 server, so my account is setup as an exchange imap. i have tried deleting and rebuilding the account to no avail. i have also tried to rebuild my inbox, and that didn't work either.
this issue does not happen with entourage 2008 (version 12.2.9 (110113)), but i don't want to use that for my mail.... just personal preference...
any ideas what else to check or things to do? i've lived with this for over a year, but i'd like to get it resolved....
thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you could try deleting the current keychain entry, then quit Mail.app. Open Mail.app again, when it asks for the password go ahead and type it in then just click Always Trust, etc. to see if it can hold onto that certificate this second time around. You also might have more than one entry in the Keychain list, so hunt around there a little to make sure you get everything deleted related to your Zimbra/Exchange IMAP accont.

Huge Macmail on ML issues with Exchange Imap

I can't seem to get Macmail on a new Macbook Pro with ML to work with our Exchange Imap server. The weird thing is that we have another new Macbook (with ML) that I created using an older Mac's Time Machine and had no issues with Macmail. The mail settings are identical!

Mails missing after sync with Exchange

Hi Community,
in my company I'm using my MBP (15", late 2013, i7, 10.9.4) in a Windows network with Exchange. I have an VM installed using Parallels 9, Win 7 64bit. Sometimes I have to use MS Outlook to send mails with a larger attachement (almost always as pdf) since some of my customers have difficulties to view mails from my MB correctly.
These Mails are properly shown in Outlook but don't show up in Mail. If I'm searching them via search in Mail, they were not found, doing the same with spotlight they show up properly in the search results.
All other mails are synced without any problems between Outlook and Mail.

It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
try this:
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Mail won't synch with Gmail IMAP

Same problem as so many other loyal Mac users on these forums...
New Macbook Pro 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).
It's been synching fine with Gmail IMAP for months. Then two days ago, was no longer to synch incoming mail. I can still send Gmail fine. just won't receive new mail.
Yes, I checked my settings. They're fine.
I've spent hours on these forums looking up and trying the various home remedies: Repair Permissions, Take All Mail Offline/Online, Uncheck SHow All Mail Imap, nothing works.
Can we just get the %&*%&$ Mail to WORK?
What else can I do?

Mac Mail stopped synching my inbound GMail last evening. Was working fine for several months on 10.9.x. Non-GMail accounts worked okay. Connection Doctor was all green. Restarted Mail and the laptop a few times. Tried Safe Mode, repaired permissions and system disk.
There's a link to Google support at the bottom of the Mail > Preferences > Accounts window so I clicked it, poked around and found this troubleshooting suggestion on the Known Issues page a few minutes ago (link is below):
IMAP client stopped syncing mail from the server
If you are experiencing problems with your IMAP client, try changing the visibility of “All mail” and “Drafts” labels from the (GMail web) settings:
Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings on the top of any Gmail page.
Select the Labels tab.
Ensure that the "Show in IMAP" checkbox is selected for both "All mail" and "Drafts".
Neither of these were checked as I didn't want "All mail" sent down to my Mac. But changing these settings caused unsynced mail to be delivered. Permanent fix? Who knows? Thought I'd mention it though.

Emails disappear from iPhone with exchange

I have gmail set up with exchange and after a period of time the emails disappear from the iPhone, but remain on my computer and gmail account. I have changed the 'days to sync' to no limit, but no change. I have also changed the 'show email' setting to the max (200 messages) but nothing changes.
Thanks

UPDATE - the emails have not reappeared! It must have taken a moment to re-sync

Mavericks Mail not working properly with Exchange server after upgrade from Lion

Mail will no longer maintain a stable connection to my company's Exchange server after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion. Nothing has been changed on the Exchange server. It has only partially downloaded the messages that are on the server. It seems to download current messages when they hit the server. It has difficulty sending messages. When I send a message, it gets stuck in the Outbox. It is constantly losing the connection to the server. The problem is only occuring with Exchange email. My iCloud email works properly as well as a POP3 account.

No shortage of pre-existing threads on Mavericks mail issues...

Mail now having trouble with exchange server

Hi There,
We use a hosted exhange server for email which has been working fine for the last year but all of a sudden we seem to be having issues copnnecting - Mail just sits there with the spining animation and the Activity window displaying a variety of messages such as:
"Syncing Inbox"
"Requesting latest information"
"Traversing mailbox hierarchy"
"Adding messages"
I've talked to our provider and they say nothing's changed their end but we're seeing this issue several times a day accross both 10.7 and 10.6 macs and in different locations (work, home and when traveling).
Normally a restart will fix the issue but I know have a Mac that is just stuck - and a restart doesn't work.
Does anyone know how I might trouble shoot this issue and how I can help our provider to understand what might be happening on the Mac side?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

So it looks like the issue was an untrusted certificate as overnight, all my email is back.
However, any messages that came in during that time can't be filed or even deleted - I see this error:
The message “Re:message subject"” could not be moved to the mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
Does any one know what the problem might be?
Cheers
Ben

Mail unexpectedly quits immediately with gmail imap

I added my gmail account as imap to mail and now mail immediately quits when I open it... Now I can't get to my company mail because of this. I'd glady remove the gmail account since it appears to be the problem but can't because the app quits so stinking fast.
anyone?

After a lot of head-scratching, and experimentation, it turns out that the problem was with GrowlMail. Even though I had swithced Growl off, and disable the GrowlMail plugin, it still appeared to be loading, according to system.log.
I had to uninstall Growl, and manually delete /Library/Mail/Bundles/GrowlMail.bundle. That FINALLY did the trick, and Mail appears to be working OK now.
Once I've successfully sync'd with GMail, I'll try reinstalling Growl, and see what happens.

Mac Mail refuses to work with exchange

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. My job uses Outlook Web Access for e mail, but it goes to my iPhone and iPad just fine. I tried setting up the same exchange settings on Mail 4.3. It completely destroyed my program. I had imap gmail set up in Mac Mail and both accounts refused to send or receive any e mail at all. I deleted both and emptied my cache (essentially resetting mail to factory) and set up just the exchange account. It connects to pop and smtp, but refuses to send or receive anything. I don't even get the rotating circle that it's even trying. I've had to dump the program and use Entourage, which I hate.
I really want to use Mac Mail is there anything else I can do? My IT department is pretty unknowledgable when it comes to Macs.

Anyone? I'm now using Outlook and it's worse.

Mail.app stops synching with Exchange server

It's my second day using Lion at work, and things have been going pretty smooth. That is, except for mail.app. I opened my copy of Exchange on my PC in the office (to set the out-of-office message (if there is one in mail.app I havent found it)) and was surprised to see a bunch of mail waiting for me. I right-clicked on my Inbox in mail.app, chose Synchronize and... nothing. I figured I would close it out and restart it. When I choose Quit, nothing happens. If I go back again Quit is greyed out. There are no apparent dialogue windows or anything open that should stop it. Finally I have to Force Quit the app and restart it. Upon restarting most of the messages appear again in seperate windows as if I hadn't hit sent yet. I close them out and all of my mail is waiting in the Inbox like it should be.
I'm using the Exchange connect feature introducted in Snow Leopard.
This is the requisite "I had no problems with this setup until upgrading to Lion" line.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a fix?
Thanks!

Is Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes checked? It shouldn’t...

Is there a mail client that works with exchange 2003?

my company Exchange is 2003 and neither Outlook 2011 or Mail work. Is there a way to make either of these work without upgrading Exchange? Is there another email client that might work?
Thanks

OSX's Mail uses the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol, which is only available on Exchange 2007 and later. Outlook 2011 relies on OSX for connectivity to Exchange, so that is why Outlook 2011 doesn't work either. As stated, if you can get your IR department to enable IMAP, you can get email funtionality. (No calendar or contacts.)
There is Davmail. I'm told that it's still a bit buggy, but AFAIK, it is the only thing that would do what you want. As mentioned by Glenn, I also recommend that you suggest to the company to upgrade the version of Exchange, mostly due to Microsoft ending mainstream support for Exchange 2003 back in 2009 (with extended support only for SP2 for an indeterminate amound of time.) As a bonus, Exchange 2010 supports Safari for OWA, which is a good indication that Microsoft is at least making attempts at better Mac support.

When I attempt to forward e-mail a box appears with the message: unable to load null status:404, thus preventing me from forwarding an e-mail.l

I checked this out with Verizon tech and it was determined that the problem was with the Firefox browser. With Safari I have no problem forwarding e-mails. This box appeared for the first time on June 15. I have never seen it before. I still am able to send and receive e-mails. The only function that does not work, since 6/15, is the ability to forward an e-mail. I have Firefox version 31.0. I work on an Apple IMac.
I have already re-installed the default version of Firefox, deleted all my history. Nothing has worked to eliminate that message. The Verizon tech person said that there seems to be a problem between my router and Firefox. I don't understand how this problem suddenly cropped up 4 days ago. Will I be able to resolve this or will I have to switch to another browser? One more bit of info: my O.S. is Mac 10.6.8.
Thank you.

Hi leonbolo,
Oh noz, I am sorry to hear that there is an issue with Firefox and the router and that clearing the cache and reinstalling is still causing this issue. We are happy to help.
Please see these also for reference:
*[[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
*[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
Two things I can think of:
*Ping the router from Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pingler/ Pingler addon ]
*See if the smtp that the Verizon mail uses is ping able as well. (rebooting the router is the default troubleshooting if it was working before. )
Please post back, it could help other users as well!

Mail no longer functions with Exchange server update

Yesterday, the IS dept. where I work applied some updates to the MS Exchange mail server and now Mail will no longer retrieve my email from the server. I can send email, but not receive. The mail shows up in my queue, but never reaches Mail's inbox. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and if so, do you know why this might be happening? What did you do to fix it?
Currently, their solution is to switch us to Entourage but, in my experience, that app is too buggy to act as a real solution to any problem. And unfortunately, our support people are very Windows-oriented and usually won't bother with Mac issues unless prodded or given a good hint as to where to look. Any pointers I could pass along would be helpful.

Here's my 2¢:
We (the Mac folks) ran into the same thing when CORP upgraded to Exchange 2003. IT decided they did not want to support alternative e-mail clients (Linux/Mac, or other), so they shut down port 143. In doing so, they forced us to use Entourage, or the web client.
I know that Mail has an 'exchange' server when setting up account, but it uses port 143.
Well, that my story...and I still really dislike Entourage.

Mail not connecting well with exchange

I connect with office 365 exchange for my mail.
Since Yosemite, I'm getting really inconsistent syncing. Sometimes it's just not receiving, sending, transferring email etc at all.
I have to keep restarting the program, but it inevitably happens again.
Very frustrating!!

Me too and it's causing a world of hurt since I use this at work. Sometimes it acts like it cannot send an email and I hit resend and people tell me they got my email 2-3 times or not at all. Some emails stay in outbox for 10-20 mins. Also not syncing well. Some emails I read on my phone act like there are unread on my mac. I have mine set to get new mail every minute, but sometimes 15 minutes go by before I see a new email. I get endless "Drafts" since it thinks I'm never finishing sending my emails. I called Apple this am and a senior tech acted like he had never heard of this happening. Now I do know Microsoft is having some issues with 365 in the last 4-5 days, but still my Windows based co-workers hardly see any issues, so it's got to be Yosemite. It was fine in Mavericks.

TS3276 OS X Mavericks Mail does not sync with Exchange Server

After moving to Mavericks, mail, contacts, anc calendars do not sync with our exchange server. It will set up the first time and then stop sycning. Is there a way to delete the mail app and reinstall. All other Apple devices sync with the exchange server with no issues.

It was my DNS settings. I had my Airpot pointing to OpenDNS, and for some reason iCal and Address Book could not find their way to my exchange server. I changed the setting to use my ISP's DNS and now everything works fine.
