Mail help! Looking for an additional Mail App for Exchange!

I have been desperately looking for an additional (not the built in) app so I can read my corporate email on my iphone. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks...

With the general Mailbox I got 4 mailboxes. 3 that I always have to be alerted when mail comes in, the general one I have to check in only once in a while. I always have all mailboxes open, however if I have the darn general mailbox in there i loose control over what's important. So I use safari right now for that busy mailbox which is cumbersome.
I just wanted a separate mailbox that doesn't alert me every 2 minutes of incoming mail, yet easy enough to check what's in it when I need it.
I'll give ibismail a try. Thanks.

Mail.app to Exchange connection issues...

Hi Everyone,
First off...I'm new to the "Mac world", but well versed in the Windows environment...
I'm having trouble getting Mail to work with my Exchange account. At first, I couldn't send email (but received fine), I still get occasional "connection" errors, but not too concerned....yet
The problem I'm still having is after receiving emails, and reading them, they show up as "read" on my PC within seconds of opening them (I'm running a PC & Mac side by side to get this problem sorted out), but any deletes or filing in different folders from the Mac DO NOT get reflected on the PC.
I know the problem is not my Exchange server (I set it up for our office) because I'm able to connect all the following devices & configurations to it:
iPod Touch (with 2.x software)
Assorted Blackberries
Windows Mobile 6.x devices
Outlook Web Access
both local & remote Outlook connections (either via OWA, or VPN connection)
I've tried playing around with the various account settings in Mail, but none seem to have any impact... I've even deleted & re-created the profile, and have the same results!
Any help is appreciated .... thanks in advance!

Hi, help me please to resolve my problems with Mail.app via Exchange. I can sent mail no futher than the Exchange name space. 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.

Duplicate Notes in Mail.app w/Exchange server

Latest version of Mail.app and Exchange 2007 server.
What we are experiencing is that a users NOTES will not replace when edited but leave new versions over and over and over again. Mail is not cleaning out the old versions correctly.
If you go back later and open the most "recent" version sometime the old ones will disappear sometime not.
This is a mirror of the "drafts" duplication issue which was corrected in 10.6.3
Anyone has seen this issue please contact me through this thread.
Thanks
Robert

I'm having the same issue with an Exchange account. I cannot create non-Exchange Notes, and every note I work on drops a new one not just with ever save, but every few seconds as I edit the note. After a few minutes working on a long note, I have a dozen older "revisions" that it plonked down as I was working. I have to delete them when I'm "done", and sometimes if I delete all but the last one... the last ("real/current") edit also disappears.
On top of that mess, I have it set not to display notes in the inbox, and yet it does. What a mess.

Cannot sort emails sent from Mail App and Exchange

When trying to sort emails on Outlook in Windows, lets say by "Flag", emails coming from a mac using mail app and exchange get placed at the top of the list.
Have tried sending emails from the same account via webmail and iphone and they get sorted correctly.
Anyone has had this problem?

So, Here's what happens:
1) Send email from Laptop (Snow Leopard) with Exchange Integration
2) Send email from iPhone (3.1) with Exchange Integration
In Outlook 2003 sort by flag (neither of these messages are flagged). Any email sent from the Snow Leopard is sorted first in the Unflagged category in Outlook. Any of the email sent from the iPhone is sorted normally.
There's no differences in the headers to cause these to sort differently. The only headers that differ are the Date, Subject/Thread-Topic, Thread-Index, Message-ID, x-ems-stamp. But, in the Message-ID it has the same domain.
Both Snow Leopard and iPhone are configured to use the same Exchange OWA/OWS.

Looking for exchange calendar sync groupcal *****

Looking for exchange calendar sync system to replace sucky groupcal.
I've had nothing but problems with it. I get duplicate calendars, duplicate calendar entries, and the daemon stops updating from the
then the support folks are threatening to cut off support and no longer help me to fix their broken code!
I wasted money and so much time on this app, is there anything else out there that does a better job?

Not to mention that it doesn't work with Leopard now! I wish there was a way to get my Exchange calendar to sync to a third party that would sync with iCal 3.0. Since there is not support for CalDAV it would be nice if Exchange would support this!

Assertion Failures using Mail.app with Exchange 2007...

We have been implementing and migrating our end-users to Exchange 2007. In doing so we found that Mail.app end-users were experiencing Assertion failures in Console.app. They used to cause Mail.app to crash and lose connectivity frequently to the Exchange 2007 server. We made a change to the firewall to allow communication to happen between domain controllers, but haven't been able to determine if this in fact resolved or helped hide the root cause. We seem to be no longer crashing Mail.app or losing connectivity, but the same logs when we would crash/lose connectivity are still happening when you look in Console.app.

We are getting these Assertion Failures for other end-users as well that are using Mail.app and connecting to Exchange 2007 Server. I have wiped my mail.app account and started from fresh and that didn't help. I did it manually as well ensuring that preference files, caches, and passwords related to mail.app, ical.app, and Address Book.app were removed. That did not work. I just went from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 hoping that would correct the issue, it did not. I even set up on another Mac a baseline Snow Leopard and patched it and then configured my mail account and still got the same errors.
What I am hoping for is not a miracle (Fixing the problem), but being told what these errors mean and if there is any risks to be concerned with. In other words, can I ignore these error messages or should I be concerned? Like I said it was causing us to get the sideways thunderbolt or triangle with an exclamation point and even crashing Mail.app at times. That hasn't happened since we let the all of the domain controllers talk to each other, even though they shouldn't have to.

I echo your hope for someone shedding a light on this. I too am geting Assertion failures, every few days, though without much in the way of crashes.
Here is an example of a log entry describing one recent such failure:

Mail.app and Exchange 2007 with Rollup 3 ... anyone get it to work?

Spent way too much time on this...
After finding our our Exchange 2007 server didn't have the legacy components installed to ensure WebDav would work, we can now connect to our Exchange 2007 mail server from Microsoft Entourage for all Windows Active Directory accounts.
For Apple Mail however, this is not the case. Opening mail, the account information does default in accurately (email, userID, exchange 2007 server) when I enter a users password, it says that it is unable to connect to mail server user/password failed.
If I manually create the account, the same thing occurs, a pop-up appears prompting for a password, which I enter and it comes back saying it isn't valid.
The password is valid because on the same Mac I open up Entourage and log in.
Keychain is NOT used and none of the passwords are held because of the headaches this causes.
Looking for ideas, thinking this is more of an Apple Mail.app bug not working with Exchange than a Microsoft issue.

Just want to add to this...it was resolved the Advanced tab is very important on mail.app.
The Advance tab authentication must match what the Exchange server/Active Directory is using.
For us NTLM is what we need to use.
Also we found that one exchange server had a bad installation while another had no problem connecting via mail.app.
Thus the installation is going to be looked at.

Finding Public Folders in Mail App through Exchange

I am using Outlook on the Windows side and all my Public Folders are there. Where can I find them in the Mail App in OSX Lion? I noticed that there are two choices to make a new account in the app. One is Exchange, and the other is Exchange IMAP. I chose the Exchange, and I'm guessing that has something to do with it. Its just that if I chose IMAP, all my junk filtering goes away that I set up in Outlook.

Its not there. I have not found a way ever to get public folders in Mail App. I wish there was, but i cannot find any solution.
I have been looking for about a year on this, but no luck

Windows 8.1 Mail app and Exchange Autodiscover

An organisation Im currently supporting has exchange 2010 and autodiscover setup. I've used nslookup to verify autodiscover settings and everything seems ok. When I launch the Windows 8.1 Mail metro app, autodiscover is not working. I have to enter all the
required fields to get email working.
Is this anything additionally for Windows Mail autodiscover to work that is different from autodiscover for the Outlook client that needs to be in place?
Is it a requirement for Exchange Active sync to be enabled? I've been told they are using a 3rd party tool, possibly Sophos,
thanks
glen_cni

Hi,
As far as I know, Mail APP doesn't have autodiscover ability to identify the confirguation of Exchange. While, in my opinion, it would be better to contact the Mail APP support for further assistance:

Mail.app and Exchange issue

Hello. I have 7 exchange accounts (45,000 letters in them) in my mail.app and every day i have a problem that mail.app delete all messages and start downloading it form server. Can any one help me with this problem.
p.s. on the other macbook i have 1 exchage account with 18.000 messages and it works fine.
Is this problem because to many exchange accounts or to many messages or because i use VPN for take mail from this accounts? Help me please.

I can't even get the Exchange Mailbox to appear in Mail.app. The same account works for Calendar and Reminders (Tasks). Configuring as an "Other" type account also does not work. Instead I end up with an IMAP style account that can't be deleted from mail.app.

Mail.app and Exchange Server Problems?

I am an Apple Mail user and my university just switched to an Exchange Server 2003 for student e-mail. The university is only supporting Entourage, but I have configured Mail to work with Exchange without any major problem. This week, I have noticed that I have a problem where Mail.app will say that I have four new e-mails in my Exchange in-box. When I click on my Exchange in-box, no new e-mail appears. After experiencing this problem for about a week, I finally logged onto our Exchange web access site for the university. I discovered that I did indeed have four new e-mails in my in-box, but these e-mails were not showing up in Mail.app. Interestingly, all of the e-mails were undeliverable e-mails that had popped back because I had the wrong address. I am wondering why these e-mails would show up in on web access, but not show up in Mail.app.
I have spoken with our university tech. support numerous times and they have been unable to figure out the problem. It seems this may be a Mail.app isse as opposed to an Exchange problem.
Thanks,
Joe Biedlingmaier

I use Exchange at work and have 5 Macs working with it w/o problems. The trick is to correctly specify SMPT and Outlook Web Access Server.
Do the following:
When you create a new mail account, choose IMAP or Exchange (if it shows on the list)
for Email Address specify your exchange email address
continue
for Incoming Mail Server: use name of the server without any prefixes such as mail. (The example shown under the box is wrong. It took me forever to figure it out)
for username and password use the same one you use when log in into exchange webmail
continue
for outgoing email server use the name of the server, again without smtp.
you may need to use authentification in order to send mail. In that case use the same user and password as when you log into your exchange
I was doing it as I was writing this to make sure it workes. It does.

Mail.app with Exchange - all folders will not sync - is there a fix or is this a defect

I am tryinf to switch from Outlook to Mail - running Mavericks and new 7.0 mail app. Inbox appears to have synced but other folders within inbox are empty and have tried to rebuild several times. Thoughts? I do have a lot of messages.

Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

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!

Mavericks mail.app and exchange online - crash

Hello everyone!
I want to setup my exchange online account within mavericks 10.9.2. Everytime i try this the mail.app crashes with the following errorreport:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** setObjectForKey: object cannot be nil (key: serverName)'
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
With OS X 10.8 (Parallels Desktop installation) and Outlook for Mac 2011 on Mavericks the setup of the exchange online account works as expected wihtout any crash.
The Mavericks installation was a clean install (no upgrade)
Have someone else the same problem and maybe a solution for this? The problem exists since 10.9.0 and my hope was 10.9.2... still the same shi...!
- Cyberspace

I don't know if you found a solution yet but this is what I found, tested and verified to work for me. (Osx Mavericks with all latest updates).
1) Disconnect from Internet first (unplug network cable or turn off wifi)
2) setup the Exchange account
3) the lack of Internet connection will force the wizard to ask for server name
4) input the server name (outlook.office365.com if you are using exchange online)
5) connect to the internet THEN click OK or CONTINUE
6) then it will work like a charm...
here is the link to the thread that I foudn the solution from
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25166000#25166000

Does mail.app support exchange 2010 contact pictures

Hello,
I am using mail.app ver 6.2 on Mountain lion 10.8.2 and connecting for email to my corporate Exchange Server 2010. I can see the GAL entries and send/recieve email fine, but in my company we heavily utilise employee photos (i believe its via the AD attribute thumbnailphotos) and that does not appear to be syncing or working on mail.app or contacts.app. I spent ages on google trying to work out wether this is an unsupported feature of something isnt working right on my setup? I am begining to think Exchnage 2010 is not fully supported yet as IOS seems to have the same issue when adding users from the GAL to contacts they dont appear in the sync'd contact on the iphone either.
thanks
Andrew

Yes, OSX's Mail in SL works with Exchange 2010. (I was running that combo before I upgraded to OSX Lion.)

Help: looking for Serialization suggestions (on strategies and products)

Hello,
I'm looking for suggestions on how to tackle a Serialization issue. Suggestions on tools to use, and approaches for "do it yourself" coding are both needed.
I need to serialize a large evolving codebase with a minimum of rewriting (overriding readObject... for each class is out of the question, likewise embeding metadata comments for all classes is also out of the question). Currently the codebase is using Java's default Object Serialization (to a binary array). This is completely unacceptable for the long term (object versioning and migrations are a nightmare).
As such I've determined that JSX/JSX2 looks like a feasable solution (the pricing is nice; the mechanism wrappers readObject, writeObject (so a minimum of recoding); they automatically map objects back and forth and don't require Objects to be constrained (with meta data, being a given format (such as beans...))). I was leaning towards Object -> XML because:
1) it is easy to read and therefore parse / upgrade / version
2) it would fit into many different types of databases without need of specalized decompositions (just put the whole object in a data cell)
however, management really wants to go Object -> tables. I am a bit leery about this but I keep hearing "we have no plans to move to any data technology other than RDB". Given those assumptions, it kind of pulls me in another direction. Namely a table serialization would have greatly enhanced performance (one could scan for objects with the highest value of some instance var quite quickly; with the other scheme it would be rather expensive...). So now I'm looking for suggestions on products that serialize Object -> table. The product at www.objectmatter.com looks like it might work well, but the licencing seems expensive. JSX/JSX2 might have Object -> table capability in the future but not now.
Likewise, loathe as I am to reinvent a complex wheel, I am looking for strategies on rolling my own object -> table mapping code.
On the one hand I think I might implement the serialization in a way similar to JSX (wrapper readObject...) as this would seem to give a direct route to the relevant instance variables.... On the other hand this would be even more slow than Java's current serialization, and I think I might go a bit blind parsing the binary stream. I could write some "stand-alone" that scans .java or .class files and auto generates a mapping file, then I could use some tool like Castor (however, given the complexities of some of my classes I think they might break Castor). The big problem is that my classes are complex and ugly (inner classes, anon classes...) so I get the feeling developing an algorithm for serializing them will be difficult and error prone. I was thinking of using Reflection and some guesses on getter/setters but now I'm thinking of using Java's security model (basically to turn all instance variables into "public" ones for my serialization routine).

An update:
Actually Castor didn't look as "full featured" as I originally thought...
So for now I'm trying to write my own persistance manager. Its along the same lines as the article "Using Reflection to Automatically Map Objects to a Database" (which can be found at URL http://www.ajug.org/meetings/2001/DBMap.html ).
The cool thing is that I have permission to make my work open source (I think that will help my company and others). My project goals are:
1) create the persistance manager
-the manager can be easily extended for any backing DB (within reason); so not just RDB but LDAP.... This will enable the user to easily "plug & play" DB technologies.
-the manager will have a very simple (and limited) API similar to
serialization. Basically one will be able to save, delete, and
retrieve objects without needing predefined DB-Object mapping
files.
Likewise the user will be insulated from DB specific details.
I am going to add a "context" which is basically a level of
transactionalism (either the backing db supports it or you code it
into your db wrapper layer).
There will NOT be much in the way of query support.
2) hook into existing "bridge" technologies
-when I get done I want to see if I can get my auto-mapping & my
persistence manager... to "cooperate" with stuff like Castor,
Hibernate, OJB, TJDO.... This is a much lower priority but I see
it as strategic for the long term growth of the project (it will
enable users to transition from "dumb" auto-maps to "smart" custom
ones seemlessly
I'm going to open another thread about this on the forum.
