Mail (Lion) & Exchange 2007, periodically stops receiving messages, does no hang

As the title says, we are having this issue. I saw another post last year about Exchange 2010 hanging, and an old certificate caused the issue. Our network admin is looking into that.
We are not experiencing any hangs. Mail "works" fine. We have multiple accounts setup (all Exchange) and 2 of the 3 are sending and receiving fine. The last mailbox, the actual use account, will stop receiving. There are no errors or indicators. Typically someone will call and ask why she isn't responding. She closes Mail and reopens and the emails come in. Sometimes it's once a day, sometimes more. I've removed the Exchange account and added it back in and it helped, but didn't resolve the issue.
Any thoughts?

After having the same error ("opening mailbox - Requesting latest information" - hang) and fighting for months on my Mac (Lion) to solve it, including writing angry bug reports to Apple - I think I finally found the source of the problem:
There was an old (invalid) certificate installed in Exchange (2007, in my case), enabled for SMTP.
Nobody seems to care about this - including Snow Leopard Mail, Outlook and all iOS devices - but Lion Mail cared, and just stuck. Typically after some time - maybe sleep/wake or just a couple of hours - Mail was stuck and did not receive any new mails anymore, until I Force Quit it.
I got the hint from another forum (somebody suggested changing the properties in the locally installed certificates in Lion - but this was not the solution) and after seeing the question popping up once in Mail Preferences (do you want to trust this (old) certificate).
After removing the old certificate from Exchange (good luck with this admin user interface - no wonder we did not notice it) - everything works ok for me, already a day without any hangs.
Hope it helps! (Let us know the outcome...)

Mail stops receiving messages after a period of time

Every since installing Mavericks my Mail app stops receiving messages after a period of time. I know because I get the email on my phone, but I try to grab them in Mail and nothing. If I restart Mail then they come through.
I'm using Gmail as my email provider. Is anyone else suffering with this? Is there a work around?

Workaround or not, this is an annoyance, and that's a nice way of putting it. Coming from Mountain Lion, when Mail was working flawlessly, having to deal with this issue is just plain ridiculous. What happened to the Mail application? I don't understand how Apple could screw this up to badly.
Every time I restart or reset the connection to the servers, the Mail app is downloading thousands of messages (I can see the display on the bottom-left). I have no idea what it's doing or why, for that matter. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, I will seriously be forced to look for an alternative, which saddens me greatly. I really like Mail, but if it cannot reliably get my mail simply because I've left it open too long, or hidden it behind another window, I will stop using it.
What's worse is that I've had similar issues with other applications like iPhoto and iTunes. Whatever is happening to Mail is probably not just application-specific. It's probably OS-specific. I hope Apple is working on it and that we will see a major update to Mavericks soon. All I know is that, right now, I'm seriously regretting upgrading to Mavericks.

Mail and Exchange 2007 Assertion Failure

I have been using Mail with Exchange 2007 on SL since it came out without issue, until last week. Once I start Mail I experience the following issues:
1. Mail folders sometimes show as empty. Occasionally synchronizing the account corrects the issue, but often I need to restart Mail.
2. Messages are duplicated in my Inbox. The only way to correct this is to delete and readd my account.
3. Sent mail creates a draft message after the message has been sent. This usually goes away in 5-10 minutes of normal use.
4. I get the following error message around 5 times per second in the system log while Mail is open and connected to Exchange:
Mail[718]: * Assertion failure in -[EWSConnection sendMessage:forRequest:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-1077/MessageStores.subproj/EWSConnection.m:374\nRe ceived an unexpected error: Error Domain=EWSExchangeWebServicesErrorDomain Code=277 UserInfo=0x118be9740 "The operation couldn’t be completed.

I have only seen one person report this issue so far and the fix was to remove /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. I tried that, but the issue was not resolved.
I am running Mail 4.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on a MBP 15" unibody. Any help is appreciated.

I too have been using Mail.app x Exchange 2007 since SL came out without issue. Very similar issues started exhibiting themselves last week for me, as well:
1. Mail folders sometimes show as empty (including the inbox). A restart of Mail fixes this.
2. New messages occasionally only show headers. A restart of Mail fixes this.
3. Mail will occasionally hang forever retrieving new messages.
4. Sending a message will occasionally return a failure message, when it was, in fact, delivered. If I choose to "Send Later", a duplicate message is immediately sent.
#1-3 are annoyances, #4's caused me to switch away from Mail.app--comes across as incredibly unprofessional to my user base and associates.
Here's just one of the hundreds of messages that appears in Console (these literally pop up every 2-5 seconds I have Mail.app open..):

I'll try deleting and reinstalling the Developer Tools as hinted at in the above post, but I'm not so sure it'll make a difference for me, as my Mac Pro was immediately loaded with SL.

Durable Subscriber Stops Receiving Messages

We have a durable subscriber using an asynchronous listener that randomly stops receiving messages. After the application is restarted, messages delivery is re-activated. When the durable subscriber is in this state (where messages are not being delivered), the JMX Mbean "isActive" attributes is true. There are other durable subscribers on this same destination that receive messages as expected.
Has anyone observed this behavior for a durable subscription?

What is the MQ version shown at beginning of the broker log ? Could you please give more description of your application and what the subscriber clients do ?

How can i stop receiving messages (SMS) On my noki...

I Want to stop receiving messages on my Nokia 1661 So no one can send me any kind of messages (Text.SMS.Multimedia)
Please Help!!!!!

I don't think that is possible, if it is you have a better chance of getting it done via your service provider than directly on your phone. Do you by any chance no any other mobile device that can do this?

Mail stops receiving messages and then stops responding

I have been using mail for over a year now with no major issues, until now. When I open mail it appears to open fine, and then it automatically starts taking the accounts online. The progress bar shows that there are 200+ messages to receive, and it shows the data rate at about 100ish kb/sec. Once it hits around 60 "received messages" of the 200+ the data rate consistently starts dropping until goes to 0 kb/sec and I can no longer take any accounts on line or even quit mail. The program responds reasonably well, but when I select "quit mail" the window will disappear, but the program will not quit. The only way I can stop it is to force quit. The accounts I use are pop3 and gmail accounts. I thought that maybe it was one account that was messing me up so I removed the accounts systematically and none of them are working properly. I also have been using wireless, so I connected via ethernet, but the issue persists. Any help is appreciated.

Exact same problem here. I tried moving the index file to the desktop and reopening mail. It rebuilds fine but then this problem starts again. It is only with one account, a pop3 account. Gmail works fine. I've deleted all mail in that account via webmail. It still hangs even though there are 0 mails to receive. The indicator shows it is still trying - and that will go on forever. Quitting just like movie_man describes.
Disabling that account solves the problem - but reenabling it brings it back.
I have the accounts sync'd with iPod touch and another home Mac. It has worked fine for years and then this, suddenly.

Mail and Exchange 2007 won't allow customizable "From" Header

I use Mac Mail with an Exchange 2007 server. In Preferences > Accounts, under "Account Information," I have two different e-mail addresses (e.g., the address for that exchange server and a gmail address) listed in the "Email address" field. When I create a new message, there is a pull-down menu next to "From:" that is supposed to allow me to choose which of those two e-mail addresses should appear in that field.
However, regardless of which e-mail address I choose, the e-mail message always has the "From:" address for the exchange server. In other words, it won't allow me to customize the "From:" field. This worked properly in the past and I've been using it for awhile, but it quit working when I re-installed Mail. Everything else works perfectly.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Thanks for your message.
Actually, changing "Reply-To" isn't what I need. I need the proper e-mail address to show in the "from" field; for example, because I need to send messages to a server and those messages need to come from a specific e-mail address.
And, the pull-down message is definitely next to the "From" field whenever a new message is generated.
I actually don't receive messages in Mail for the other two accounts (e.g., I use Gmail's web interface for Gmail messages). I'm simply needing to modify the "From:" field in OUTGOING messages, something that used to work but quit working recently.

Mail.app exchange 2007 Assertion failure in EWSConnect sendMessage:forReque

Snow leopard hasn't worked properly with our exchange server for months, I was hoping this would be sorted in 10.6.3 but it seems not.

One fix is to switch the outbound SMTP manually to be the exchange hostname or say a home ISP but this is a hack considering sending mail clearly works purely over SSL and web services, it's just certain attachments that are failing. It's also a pain for travelling users with laptops who won't always have access to SMTP due to blocked ports etc.
Similar issues but no fixes

Trashing mail.app and the .plist makes no difference which does seem to fix it for some people (still a hack again though)
This is also not related to the issues of sending attachments of 10meg+, for e.g.

Exchange 2007 - content-language in message header

Exchange 2007
The Regional Settings on client computer is set to Bulgarian (Formats/Location/non Unicode/System Account)
The Regional Settings in Outlook Web Access for user1 is set to Bulgarian.
On the exchange server, the language of mailbox of user1 is set to Bulgarian with powershell command
Set-Mailbox -Identity "user1" -Languages "bg-BG"
And the check shows
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$Mailbox = Get-Mailbox -Identity "user1"
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>$mailbox.languages
LCID Name DisplayName
1026 bg-BG Bulgarian (Bulgaria)
If user1 sends a new message using Outlook, the message header contains:
Accept-Language: bg-BG, en-US
Content-Language: en-US
But if user1 sends a new message to same recepient using Outlook Web Access, the message header contains:
Accept-Language: bg-BG, en-US
Content-Language: bg-BG
The recepient uses some Blackberry smartphone.
The problem comes with cyrrilic text in the message:
If the messaqge is sent using OWA, the recepient can visualize and read cyrillic text.
But if the message is sent from Outlook, the recepient see symbols "????...?" instead cyrillic text
Is there a way when use Outlook the message header to be
Content-Language: bg-BG
This problem with incorrect cyrrilic text can be observed only on this Blackberry smartphone. There are not any problems if recepient uses computer with correct regional settings and various mail clients

Mail w/Exchange 2007 Account- Reply arrow appears, but reply not found

Hello out there,
I'm really hoping someone can help with this. I have a problem, and it affects all three of the Macs I regularly use: an iMac at home, a MacBook on the road, and and iMac at the office. I have three mail accounts configured identically on all these Macs: Gmail, MobileMe, and an Exchange 2007 account, which uses the Web Services Edition. In short, everything is completely up to date all the way round. Oh, and I also use an iPhone which accesses my Exchange account for mail as well.
My problem is this: I reply to a message in either the MobileMe or the Gmail account and presto, the reply arrow appears and clicking on it instantly reveals my reply. Works as advertised. In the Exchange account, the arrow also appears, and shows up on whichever Mac I happen to be using. However, clicking on the arrow I get a message that says something like "reply not found, you may have deleted it." Which, of course, I haven't. If I search the Exchange account's sent mail folder I find it easily, so I know it's there.
I've tried all kinds of stuff, deleting the plist file, completely removing and reinstalling the Exchange account, rebuilding folders, all to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to resolve this and find it a major flaw, at least as it appears, in Apple's implementation of Exchange server support.
Thanks in advance!

I have 10.6.3 running on my iMac and the problem still exists - all reply and forward status arrows are basically inert; clicking on they does not show my my reply or forward. I don't believe that there is any preference that affects this behavior so it can only be some kind of bug.

Mail displaying Exchange 2007 tasks

I have tasks in my Exchange 2007 Tasks folder. iCal sees them and displays them in its "Tasks" calendar, but Mail does not seem to display any in its "To Do" folder. Is this intentional?

Message was edited by: Link Dupont

I create a To Do.... and it will display that there´s 1 To do item... but then I restart Mail Mac and it will show me that I have 2 To do item...... like it get´s duplicated but only one is shown.... any ideas???.. same problem anyone???.... also I cannot create events on iCal.... anoying..

Exchange 2007 Export-Mailbox Error Message on only certain mailbox

I have searched high and low for a solution to this, but no such luck. Hopefully someone has had the same issue and can help me out.
I am attempting to export and then remove a date range for mailboxes before I migrate to an Exchange 07 server. The mailboxes range in the 10 GB range. I am attempting to use the Exchange 2007 cmdlet to do this with due to it does not have a 2 GB limit like the Exmerge of past.
The command I am using is as follows:
[PS] C:\>Export-Mailbox -Identity User -StartDate "01/01/07" -EndDate "01/30/08"
-IncludeFolders "\Inbox","\Sent Items" -PSTFolderPath c:\PST\pst.pst
This command works fine on some of the mailboxes in the Exchange03 system. But on some of the mailboxes I am getting the following error.
Error occurred in the step: Moving messages. Failed to copy messages to t
he destination mailbox store with error:
MAPI or an unspecified service provider.
ID no: 00000000-0000-00000000, error code: -1056749164
Any ideas?

Hello Joe Rod (and others)
Thought I'd bring this over as a cross post because no-one seems to be picking it up in the 'admin' section. I believe I'm having a similar issue to yourself, as detailed below:
Hi all,
I've already posted this same question elsewhere, but if anyone here can resolve the issue or suggest a better way (without using archiving software - yet!), I'd be most grateful. I'd even be happy if someone can replicate the problem so I know I'm not going mad... I'm trying to set up a quick & dirty quarter year pst mail archive for one of our users on our Exchange 2007 (SP1) box. Using the command:
export-mailbox -id userA -pstfolderpath \\testpath\test.pst -enddate "01/03/2007"
I come up against this error:
Error occurred in the step: Moving messages. Failed to copy messages to the destination mailbox store with error: MAPI or an unspecified service provider. ID no: 00000000-0000-00000000, error code: -1056749164
Which I understand is a fairly standard permissions error. Problem is that I know the permissions are set correctly, having tested the function by removing the -enddate parameter; and getting a successful export.
I worked out after a while that the command seems to fall over when it hits a subfolder, so I tested this by using the -includefolders parameter. The command:
export-mailbox -id userA -pstfolderpath \\testpath\test.pst -includefolders '\inbox' -enddate "01/03/2007"
will fail if there are any subfolders under '\inbox'. Add the names of the subfolders:
export-mailbox -id userA -pstfolderpath \\testpath\test.pst -includefolders '\inbox\subfolder1' -enddate "01/03/2007"
and as long as those subfolders don't have any subfolders, I will get a successful export.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Dan
If anyone is able to replicate this, please let me know, I'd love to get this sorted. If it is a known problem - can I use someone's PSS contact please?!

Server 2003 R2 DC migration to 2008 R2 worked? but exchange 2007 has stopped

Hi everyone,
This is a single DC running on Server 2003 R2 which I migrated to a fresh install of Server 2008 R2. This appears to have worked without issue. DNS is working dcdiag and netdiag didn't report problems.
When I demote the 2003 server however Exchange 2007 stops working. It appears that it is still looking to talk to the 2003 server based on this
EVENT ID: 2012 All DC Servers in use are not responding DC.mydomain.com
Can anyone help fix this issue pls. I cant find where Exchange has stored the old domain name.
TYIA

TY both for taking the time to reply.
I have gotten to the problem. The fact you both pointed me to event 2080 was instrumental in guiding me down the right path. Once I read this MS article I could see the new DC was missing
the SACL rights. This was a tad frustrating as I had previously checked that Manage auditing and security log was correctly configured in the Default Domain Controllers Policy, was applied to Domain
computers and the new server was in the correct container.
However when your up to your ass in a croc filled swamp you sometimes forget the odd thing; I didn't run RSOP, if I had at the time, I would have never have had to post for help. Yes you guessed it the policy wasn't enabled!! A quick enable and gpupdate
/force and all was well.
Still, always the optimist, I learned about event 2080, and uncovered and fixed problems with the clients servers where they had ghost nics....
Just to clarify in case others read this post.
This wan't SBS
It was a single DC domain running on server 2003 R2 x64
Exchange 2007 running on a seperate server 2003 R2 x64.
The domain name didn't change. What I meant was the new DC had a different name
the New DC is a fresh install of server 2008 R2, IPv6 is enabled
The old DC had adprep /forestprep then adprep /domainprep run on it
The 5 fsmo roles were moved from the old DC to the 2008 DC
Just need to move DHCP and other bits n pieces and job done :)
Thanks for the help

HT2500 Mac mail macbook pro 10.6.8 receiving messages hear chime but no mail notification. cannot see or open

Mac Mail. receiving messages. I hear chime. Cannot see notifications in inbox or mail icon in dock. Thus cannot open messages. Macbook pro 2009 10.6.8.

Hi Softwater,
Thanks for your kind and swift response.
It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
I've got to get my e-mail history back.
Thanks.
Best,
Michael

Virtual Mail Server (Exchange 2007)

G'day,
I have 10.5.4 server running on a 1.66GHz Core Duo MacMini. I'm desperate to have a push mail server running and I'm about to go ahead with this design. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about it first.
10.5.4 server as the primary system
VMWare Fusion emulating 2003 Enterprise Server R2 with 2003 Exchange Server SP1
Could have all the files locally based on the server and the beauty of virtual environment is that I can simply reboot to previously saved settings if anything is to go pair shaped.
Let me know what you think.

Actually I was thinking of doing the same thing, but with my PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8Ghz, 2GB Ram, 34GB Raptor 10K boot volume, and 150G Data store.
Does Apple's Leo Server have push cal/mail/contacts? I desperately need a simple setup as well for our office, and currently run a test Server 2008 environment running Exchange 2007, but its overly bloated and so many configuration options.
Thanks!
