Mail keeps hanging with my Exchange account

When ever i setup mail in 10.5.2 to connect to my work exchange account (augh how i hate entourage), mail hangs and hangs. It gets the info eventually, but receiving, sending etc takes 15/20 minutes.
None of this happens with the same account in entourage 08. Any ideas?
HR

Greetings,
I have different Macs set up to use our Exchange Mail on both "Mail" and "Entourage 2008" - In my case the Mail is faster responding to our Exchange server than Entourage is. They are the same identical Macs with nothing running in the background except Mail on the one machine and Entourage on the other.
The difference isn't dramatic, but you can see Mail is slightly faster overall.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

    I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
    I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop. 
    In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
    connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
    Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
    when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
    This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
    properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
    email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well. 
    The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
    accounts are installed and working properly.
    I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
    As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
    on my laptop.
    The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
    I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
    Can you help?

    Hello ronontheright,
    Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
    Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
    Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.

  • I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.

    I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
    In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
    My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
    I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
    I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey kabsl,
    Thanks for the post.
    What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange).  Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
    Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account.  I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email.  I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem.  Hat am I missing?

    I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account.  I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email.  I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem.  Hat am I missing?

    I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
    My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
    My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.

    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.

  • Mail keeps hanging on .Mac account

    Hello,
    I have a .Mac account and running Mail with Tiger on an Intel iMac. Most of the time it works just fine. But lately it's been driving me crazy. My two other mail accounts (one POP and the other IMAP) work just fine. But .Mac keeps hanging, refusing to connect to the server. When I try to quit Mail, I can't. I have to force quit it to be able to move on. If I restart the computer, things are OK. But within a couple of hours, it happens again! Any help would be appreciated. (I've checked and my connections are correct [password, etc.]; I can access my .Mac account from the Web, but, increasingly, not on Mail.)
    Again, Thanks

    I am presently afflicted with this mail ailment as well. Sporadic and acute attacks. I am a student and it is unraveling me. Help!

  • My mail won't sync with microsoft exchange account

    Macbook pro 10.8.1
    I have my Mail setup to sync with a Microsft Exchange Account. All syncs between my exchange account, my iPad and iPhone. However on my laptop, old messaged that I deleted ages ago are still there. I get new mail, so I know that it is syncing at some level. When I try to delete the old messages, it tells me I cannot delete them....they are like a lingering shadow that is annoying as there are about 20 of them!

    Add it as an Outlook account, but still use your full email adress as a hotmail address.
    Use this link if needed: ssl.apple.com/support/mail-settings-lookup/

  • Mail has stopped sending via exchange account after syncing with Mobile Me

    Hi There,
    I'm having trouble tracking down the cause of this issue, but after resetting sync data on two macs (10.6.7) neither can send emails using our work account (iPad and iPhone seem fine).
    When I reply to emails for work (on a third-party hosted exchange server) I receive an error saying that it can't send and suggests choosing another server. The only server in the list is Mobile Me which has the word (offline) next to it.
    1.
    Should the exchange server appear in the list of available servers?
    2.
    It looked like Mail was trying to use mobile me to send the work emails but was failing because it rejected the address, so I deleted mobile me from the SMTP server list in an effort to force mail to use the Exchange server but no joy.
    The connection doctor sucessfully connects to the exchange server so it obviously sees the connection and the exchange account is set to only use the exchange server (it appears in the dropdown but not in the edit servers list).
    Has anyone else seen this - need to send a few work emails!
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Never Mind got it... I did find the answer after a bit more searching Thanks to anyone who read the message...

  • Mail with two exchange accounts

    Hi,
    I am using 2 exchange accounts in mail on Lion and on my iDevices.
    Since I added the second one I got strange reactions.
    On mail I see all accounts but mails from the second one does not appears. If I remove the second account from my iPhone then it appears in mail but the first account does not show new mails (but on the iPhone yes).
    I probably missparametered something but what?

    Others at the same issues.
    Here is the thread I was referring to. Hopefully you may find some solutions inside.

  • My mail keeps hanging due a 'stuck' email.  Help is appreciated it!

    I am not exactly sure what happened with an IMAP account I have, but keeps trying to send an email and re-saving it to my drafts, and after displaying 3 or 4 times the below message, it hangs and blocks all my email.
    I have gone in off-line and tried to delete it without success. Anyone knows how to handle this? Can i rebuild the mail database? I am basically without mail at this point in the middle of a business trip.
    Message:
    'Some actions taken while the account "Martin [mhsp]" was off-line could not be completed online.
    Additional information: The IMAP command "APPEND" (to drafts) failed with server error: invalid mailbox name..
    Thanks for your help. Martin.

    First try highlighting any undesired message in Drafts, click on Edit, choose Cut. This would bypass trying to move the message to any other mailbox, and simply make it disappear. Does the problem persist?
    If so, does the Drafts mailbox have any messages of value to you, would all be expendable? If expendable, open Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailboxes Behaviors and deselect to store Draft Messages on the Server. Quit Mail, and immediately relaunch Mail and see if any messages in Drafts (and/or Drafts even remains) remain. If not, then repeat the earlier exercise with the Outbox.mbox.
    We might have to force a reindexing, but maybe not.

  • Outgoing mail keeps defaulting to a secondary account rather than the account I sent the message from?

    I have a new MacBook Air. I have two google mail accounts set up in the mail app  - one primary account and one secondary account. For some reason my outgoing messages keep defaulting to the secondary account. Even when I create a new message or reply to a message from the primary account and have the primary account highlighted, replies keep coming back to the secondary account. When I hover over the outgoing email address, it looks like it was sent from the secondary account even though I sent it from the primary account. I've gone into settings and looked at everything, and I still can't figure out what is causing this problem.

    i know it may sound crazy, but it does.
    I sent the same email out through my outlook and the person received the correct version. There is an issue with my Mail but thanks for the advice tho.

  • Mail 8.2 (2070.6) - Exchange Account Authentication Issue

    Hi All,
    Two days ago my Mail application started to prompt me for passwords on my exchange accounts. I would enter the passwords and then get re-prompted. I subsequently logged in to the webmail version of the exchange accounts and was able to log in without issue. Lastly, I removed all the exchange accounts from my Mail app and added them once again. I was able to add the accounts but then immediately started getting password prompts again. Anybody experiencing similar issues?

    I have a mail issue and am getting the following:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (MCMailErrorDomain error 1030)
              Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    I had to go to my provider to fix the issue you're having;  OS X apparently doesn't save your password in settings...check that, it's a PITA, but the reality of the OS... Check with you provider, might be helpful as they would have lots of experience with this sort of thing.

  • Mail unable to connect to Exchange account in Macbook

    I have an Exchange Account for my work email and calendar. I recently had to change the password and as I updated the login information in my iPhone (IOS 7) and Macbook (OSX) I have found that the Mail app in the iPhone connects to the Account just fine... The Mail app in my macbook however is unable to connect (using the exact same login information).
    The password has many special characters, could this be the issue?

    Hey Oscar,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Mail account in OS X. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting information. You can also try deleting and re-adding the account from System Preferences or Mail Preferences:

  • Mac Mail Outgoing SMTP Settings for Exchange account

    I can't seem to get my Mac Mail client outgoing smtp settings correct. I am receiving fine but cannot send. My companies IT person does not have any Mac experience and has asked that I use webmail. Please help.

    Thank you sooo much for getting back to me. I am back to trying to figure this out.
    I have tried to set it up with the mentioned settings without success.
    I think the problem is with the Outgoing Mail Server address that was given to me by the IT person - "webmail.outdoordimensions.com".
    Typically, when setting accounts up, I have used an address respective to the web access provider - i.e. "smtp.att.yahoo.com". However, this "Exchange" account is something very new to me.
    Thanks again for your help. Also what is "TLS-wrapped"? I didn't find a setting option for this.

  • Email in subfolders not available with my Exchange account

    Two questions:
    1) Is there a better email client than the built in one? I need something where I can navigate my folder structure. Having all folders open at all times makes reading archived email impossible.
    2) I seem to have a problem when browsing to a folder in my Exchange account. Some folders, which definitely have email in them, appear empty on the iPhone. It appears to only show the last couple of days of email, and it gives no way to see older emails. On my non-Exchange email accounts, I can always go to the bottom of the screen and click on "Load More Messages"

    1) You can check the app store. When you are in the listing of all your accountsin the mail app select your exchange account from the bottom list in the "accounts" section and you should see all your folders and can expand them.
    2) Not sure, it takes a few seconds for my exchange folders to populate sometimes but they do load. I only use gmail with exchange. You might want to ask your IT support about it.

  • Mac mail outgoing mail not working with wildblue gmail account

    My outgoing mail keeps saying offline. Cannot connect on the default ports. Tried changing ports, with and without SSL. Anybody have any solution?

    I've recreated the account multiple times and finally have mail coming through under an "All Mail" label under "Gmail" on the left hand side of the application. The one thing I did do differently was uncheck the SSL box in advanced settings, save changes, recheck the SSL box, save changes. Mail started working after that.
    Before this problem existed, I had [Gmail] in the "imap prefix" box in advanced settings in order to get rid of the gmail labels. I did this because I only wanted the Inbox and Sent Items to show in the far left. Right now, i'm only able to view my mail under an all mail folder beneath a Gmail Folder on the left had side. Can I get rid of all these folders and simply use my inbox and sent items icons?
    Thanks,
    Ryan
    Thanks in advance.
