Mail in Mountain Lion acting up... Not syncing Exchange correctly

the exchange mail account is not syncing correctly.. It fails to show up any messages

I had the same issue. My hypothesis is that the internal server address for the exchange server (configured on exchange and not on your client) was being used and this address is typically only accessible through your corporate network. The update process of checking for emails was not finding the internal exchange address and hence the mails show up as blank (not really deleted).
The way this got fixed for me was to connect from my corporate network to the exchange server and after that it had no issues using my external IP address. So if you cannot go to the corporate network physically, I would recommend connecting to your network through a VPN for one time after which the problem should not manifest itself. Its been 2 weeks for me now and no issues.

  • Using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion - issue with inbox syncing across multiple machines

    Hi. I am using Gmail through Mail in Mountain Lion on my iMac, as well as Mail in my iPad and iPhone. Generally speaking Mail seems to sync well across the three machines. However for some reason when I view an email in my inbox on either my iPhone or my iPad, the inbox on my iMac does not reflect the fact the email has been read: ie, while the email is marked as having been 'read' across both my iPad and iPhone, it remains 'unread' on my iMac. It is really frustrating and stuffs up the process managing the flow of emails. Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks so much.

    Hi SB. Thanks for your advice. I checked and I am using the recommended settings. I'm still not sure how to fix this. It's very irritating! I will read an email on my ipad, then hit my imac and see that the email is sitting unread in my Mail inbox.

  • Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

  • OS X Mountain Lion calendar app not syncing with iPhone 4 calendar.

    After installation I noticed that my OS X calendar was not syncing with my iPhone 4 calendar running version 5.1.1. Any sugestions to fix this issue.

    Please note that all my settings are exactly the same as they were in Lion. I do not use iCloud and I like to sync thru iTunes via WIFI and USB. After further research I have discovered that this issue is seems to be with Mountain Lion. Obviously, Apple needs to update iOS 5.1.1 or release a fix for Mountain Lion.

  • Mountain Lion Contacts app not syncing properly

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
    Following the advice in the article DID NOT resolve my syncing issues with the contacts app. Contacts that I create on the Mac DO NOT sync to iCloud or my iOS device. However contacts created on my iOS device or iCloud DO SYNC to my Mac. I have done the following which HAS NOT resolved my issue.
    1) Systems prefs ---> iCloud
    2) Disabled and enabled Contacts
    3) Rebooted
    Is there anything else I can try?
    Also I am still getting duplicates in my contacts and I am having to manually delete a number of entries even after following the advice in this article which cleared about 80 of my duplicates but thats all.
    Thank you for your help

  • Recently downloaded Mavericks to my iMac to replace OS X 10.9.2, everything good except can I revert to the look of "Mail" on Mountain Lion, new format not detailed enough?      by Cozzie

    Recently downloaded mavericks to my imac, to update OS X 10.9.2., everything went good except would like to revert to the previous format for mail.....new format does not separate inboxes etc.  I hear it can be done, any ideas how to do that?

    Hi bhcozzie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can change the preferences for Mail in the Viewing tab to Use classic layout if that layout is more familiar to you.

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • I got another mail regarding mountain lion free upgrade program !! But its saying OS X server not able to download ?

    I got another mail regarding mountain lion free upgrade program !! But its saying OS X server not able to download ?
    Plz Help

    You are not alone in this, Maddy. I had the same thing happen. Apple obviously sent incorrect codes that redeemed for OS X Server instead of Mountain Lion. I called Apple Care who said that it must be some server fluke and that they would get back to me within 24 hours.

  • How can I change order of email accounts in Mail on Mountain Lion?

    In Mail on Mountain Lion I have only two email accounts, but the wrong one has been set as default (because it was an account I had overlooked and added later). I cannot find how to change the order of the email accounts. One possibility is to delete the non-default account and re-add it, so that it becomes the most recent and thus (presumably) the default, but this would delete all the email messages in that account, which I cannot afford.
    It's a great flaming pain to try to remember each email I write to select the second account option, and yet I can find no way to change email account order---not in Mail and not in System Preferences. Dragging them certainly does not work.
    Can Apple have really missed this? Is there any solution?

    Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
    Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
    cd ~/Library/Preferences
    plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
    Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
    open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
    Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
    You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed.

  • Exporting OS X Mail from Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail was a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade. But I think I found a way to Export Mail from ML to (a clean install of) SL.
    Try this:
    1.  Open Mail in ML. For each folder you wish to have back in SL, Export it to your ML Desktop as an .mbox file. Depending on the folder size, this can take from a few seconds to several minutes. You'll see an .mbox icon for the particular folder on your Desktop. If the word "partial" appears between the folder name and the .mbox suffix, wait a few moments for the Export to complete, at which time the word "partial" will disappear. E.g., for a folder named "Mary", if it's a huge one, the icon will first appear as "Mary.partial.mbox"; when the Export is done, you'll see "Mary.mbox".
    2.  When you've Exported all your desired folders as above, you can exit ML and re-start your Mac in SL. Open Mail in Snow Leopard, and once again, for each file you just Exported in ML to the Desktop there, select "Import Data From Apple Mail" and choose the folder from the Desktop in ML to which your mboxes were Exported. When the Import starts, you can see via a progress bar how far along it is. When done, you'll see a new folder in your SL Mail called "Import"; click on it to reveal the folder you just Imported!
    3.  Then drag the folder you just Imported out of the Import folder to "On My Mac" in SL Mail; you can then delete the Import folder.
    4.  Repeat until all your folders are where you want them (in SL).
    5.  When you have time, go back into ML and clear all those .mbox files from your Desktop.
    There MAY be an easier way, but this is what worked for me.

    The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
    Mountain Lion itself is.
    My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
    ** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
    Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
    Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
    No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
    "Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
    No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
    ** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
    iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);

  • How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

    How to fix slow mail in mountain lion in a easy way

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mail on Mountain Lion is a total shambles....

    I am trying to decide to switch to Mail from Outlook and my first foray into the latest version of Mail on Mountain Lion suggests that it is a total shambles..
    I cannot get a consist view in my inbox of messages received, although if i go to the  iCloud.com it all seems fine. I have some simple rules set up to identify messages and copy them to local folders on the MAC and i am getting inconsistent results. For example i  have 5 messages coming in from the same sender. My rules are set up to copy all of these messages to a local folder on my Mac, only 2 out of the 5 messages are being identified and copied.
    I have another rule that copies other messages to another local folder if they are not recognized as being a member of a particular group and none of these are being recognized and copied.
    Providing feedback to Apple on Mail also seems a joke as they are only interested in you allowing them to access certain data about your confignuration......
    Anyone suggest an alternative to mail and Outlook?
    Thanks
    John

    Yes i have but i get similar issue with them.
    Thanks
