Mail & Exchange problem - cannot connect to exchange server

I am having a problem configuring MS exchange on Mail 5.2. I am not able to connect to exchnage server. The error message is consistent 
MFEWSErrorDomain error 56
I can connect to the same server using Mail on iPhone 4 but from what I understand iOS and Lion use different protocols?
Thanks

YAY MEEEE!!! After hours of looking for this i Have figured it out.
Log into the OWA actt. (Web Outlook) and hit the ? mark in the right hand corner > About.
Grab the data in the about page. Complete your wizard and when you get the auto discovery error message and it requests the server name copy the HOST ADDRESS - not the "Exchange Client Access server name"
Thank ou KK Pan, Csound1, and this guy here http://eightwone.com/2013/01/26/the-case-of-the-not-updating-outlook-for-mac/ for leading me down a path to discovering this.

  • Apple Mail Application Problems - Cannot connect to Server

    Hello Apple Community.
    For the past two days my Mail application on my iPad and MacBook do not. It is as if there is a problem with the internet but my internet it working fine. The app opens and loads and continues to load but then says it Cannot Connect to Server.
    Is there any way to fix this problem. I do not have OSX Mavericks.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    If the problem exists on two different devices (different operating systems), your router or ISP is probably the reason. Contact your ISP for help.

  • I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server

    I updated to mountain lion and now mail cannot connect to my server.  It says check your user name and password are correct.  Well they are, and were.  Nothing has changed except the mac OS. 
    Has anyone else suffered this and knows a way around it?  Too annoying to log into my mail every 15mins via a web page anymore.
    Efforts tried to resolve this so far:
    retyped user name and password, removed account and created a new account, restarted computer, software update, searched forums.  so far all have proved unsuccessful.
    I have also written to my mail provider and am waiting for feed back from them, but if anyone has any advice it would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks,
    Mike

    Many users upgrading to Mountain Lion have run into this problem, myself included.  You likely have corrupted settings for your  "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" for each of the failed Accounts.  Open Mail>go to Mail's Preferences>Accounts>select an Account in the left column to work on>then set up your Outgoing Mail Server which will INCLUDE resetting up your Password, as its asking you to.  Click on "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server" near the bottom of the Accounts window while your mail account is highlighted in the left hand column.  When you click on SMTP... you will see a drop down box icon offered at the right side of the line.  Click it and then select at the bottom of the the list "Edit SMTP Mail Server".  Fill in the required settings for your ISP mail account using their recommended settings.

  • Can't set mail exchange server on new MacBook Air

    Can't set mail exchange server on new MacBook Air. It used to work on iphone and iPad. Now the same exchange doesnt work on ipad and not working at all on Mac Air. It just keeps on telling me the server does not response but IPhone gets the mail!!

  • Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

    I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
    The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Same is happening with me.  Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
    After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application.  I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
    I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
    Any insight would be helpful.
    Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

  • HT1430 on my iphone I am getting a "Cannot Get Mail" prompt says " the connection to the server failed. My mail last updated 1-31-14(the last time it would retrieve  mail

    on my iphone I am getting a "Cannot Get Mail" prompt says " the connection to the server failed. My mail last updated 1-31-14(the last time it would retrieve  mail) Ive done the turn on and off thing,thanks

    i had this problem a couple times. Try:
    1) to restart your iPhone (turn off and then on)
    2) connect to a different network or use cellular (it may be a network problem)
    3) delete your mail account from Mail app, and then add it back in
    4) create an icloud backup of all your data, restore through iTunes and then restore from icloud
    hope this helps. cheers!

    Cannot connect to the server.  What to do?

    Hey LauradellLaurawidder,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with mail on your iPad. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
    Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
    1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.
              - Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
                        1. Try a different Wi-Fi connection
                        2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
                        3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    3. Restart your iOS device.
    4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
              - Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
              - Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
              - Add your account again.
    * If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.
    Additionally, if you are using a Gmail account you may find the following steps helpful:

  • Apple ipad 'Cannot connect to the server'

    When using Mail,  iPad says ' Cannot connect to server'
    it's an icloud mail account.
    The original ipad has internet connectivity.
    I've set up the same account on a different ipad and no probelms.
    I've tried deleting the acocunt and reinstalling but still the problem persists
    Any ideas?

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.
