Mail no longer functions with Exchange server update

Yesterday, the IS dept. where I work applied some updates to the MS Exchange mail server and now Mail will no longer retrieve my email from the server. I can send email, but not receive. The mail shows up in my queue, but never reaches Mail's inbox. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and if so, do you know why this might be happening? What did you do to fix it?
Currently, their solution is to switch us to Entourage but, in my experience, that app is too buggy to act as a real solution to any problem. And unfortunately, our support people are very Windows-oriented and usually won't bother with Mac issues unless prodded or given a good hint as to where to look. Any pointers I could pass along would be helpful.

Here's my 2¢:
We (the Mac folks) ran into the same thing when CORP upgraded to Exchange 2003. IT decided they did not want to support alternative e-mail clients (Linux/Mac, or other), so they shut down port 143. In doing so, they forced us to use Entourage, or the web client.
I know that Mail has an 'exchange' server when setting up account, but it uses port 143.
Well, that my story...and I still really dislike Entourage.

Mail no longer connects to Exchange Server

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5.
After the update everything was working fine, including Mail. It was talking to my Exchange server as it should.
But I had to dabble. While I was previously connecting using IMAP I noticed the Exchange server option in Mail so I decided to give it a go thinking it might enable some more of Exchange's features.
However, Mail will not connect to the Exchange server. Even trying to switch back to IMAP doesn't work. It just won't connect.
I KNOW the settings are correct and I have other machines here that are working fine (using the Exchange account option in Mail - I set them up last week, no problem).
I have enabled logging in Mail and it appears that the Exchange server is refusing my username or password - both of which are certainly correct.
Using identical settings (albeit with IMAP) in Thunderbird is no problem.
Any ideas on this? It's driving me nuts and I really want to go back to using Mail rather than Thunderbird.
Many thanks in advance.

I have just replaced an ailing emac running 10.3.9 so to get all my emails transfered, i imported them . I had by this time set up my old accounts affresh .now the old ones fight with the new and try to change the out going smtp server settings I can recieve on all accounts but only send out on one and that is after one and a half days plus a trip back to the dealership-still not right .And somehow it insists on sending my other email accounts through only the one main server which sort of works but changes each time you log in. The computer no longer recognises email addresses sent from my old folders - a serious pain when you have to look up each and every address in old folders.
When you go into the advanced settings the option none is not there but on one occassion all the options changed. Looking at this forum I think giving my emac the kiss of life might have been a better business proposition. As to your problem some info the guy at the store deleted in the key chain info. helped but not sure how he got there

Mavericks Mail not working properly with Exchange server after upgrade from Lion

Mail will no longer maintain a stable connection to my company's Exchange server after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion. Nothing has been changed on the Exchange server. It has only partially downloaded the messages that are on the server. It seems to download current messages when they hit the server. It has difficulty sending messages. When I send a message, it gets stuck in the Outbox. It is constantly losing the connection to the server. The problem is only occuring with Exchange email. My iCloud email works properly as well as a POP3 account.

No shortage of pre-existing threads on Mavericks mail issues...

TS3276 OS X Mavericks Mail does not sync with Exchange Server

After moving to Mavericks, mail, contacts, anc calendars do not sync with our exchange server. It will set up the first time and then stop sycning. Is there a way to delete the mail app and reinstall. All other Apple devices sync with the exchange server with no issues.

It was my DNS settings. I had my Airpot pointing to OpenDNS, and for some reason iCal and Address Book could not find their way to my exchange server. I changed the setting to use my ISP's DNS and now everything works fine.

Mail now having trouble with exchange server

Hi There,
We use a hosted exhange server for email which has been working fine for the last year but all of a sudden we seem to be having issues copnnecting - Mail just sits there with the spining animation and the Activity window displaying a variety of messages such as:
"Syncing Inbox"
"Requesting latest information"
"Traversing mailbox hierarchy"
"Adding messages"
I've talked to our provider and they say nothing's changed their end but we're seeing this issue several times a day accross both 10.7 and 10.6 macs and in different locations (work, home and when traveling).
Normally a restart will fix the issue but I know have a Mac that is just stuck - and a restart doesn't work.
Does anyone know how I might trouble shoot this issue and how I can help our provider to understand what might be happening on the Mac side?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

So it looks like the issue was an untrusted certificate as overnight, all my email is back.
However, any messages that came in during that time can't be filed or even deleted - I see this error:
The message “Re:message subject"” could not be moved to the mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Actioned — [email protected]”
Does any one know what the problem might be?
Cheers

Mail.app stops synching with Exchange server

It's my second day using Lion at work, and things have been going pretty smooth. That is, except for mail.app. I opened my copy of Exchange on my PC in the office (to set the out-of-office message (if there is one in mail.app I havent found it)) and was surprised to see a bunch of mail waiting for me. I right-clicked on my Inbox in mail.app, chose Synchronize and... nothing. I figured I would close it out and restart it. When I choose Quit, nothing happens. If I go back again Quit is greyed out. There are no apparent dialogue windows or anything open that should stop it. Finally I have to Force Quit the app and restart it. Upon restarting most of the messages appear again in seperate windows as if I hadn't hit sent yet. I close them out and all of my mail is waiting in the Inbox like it should be.
I'm using the Exchange connect feature introducted in Snow Leopard.
This is the requisite "I had no problems with this setup until upgrading to Lion" line.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a fix?
Thanks!

Is Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes checked? It shouldn’t...

All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
No need ,by design exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
Please reply me if you have any queries .
Regards
S.Nithyanandham

OS X Mail with Exchange Server

Yeah - OK - why dabble with the dark side.
I found emails I deleted in Mail where not disappearing in Exchange Server, whereas the other way round worked fine. Until I changed my 'permanently erase deleted emails' setting from 'after one week' to 'when quitting Mail'.
As soon as I quit Mail after this 96 PAGES of previously 'deleted' emails instantly vanished from exchange server.
So - what is it about 'after one week' that Mail doesn't like?
Note I had only unchecked 'Store deleted messages on the server' earlier in the day - but hey most of those deleted emails that refused to go away were years old.

Hi micmac74.
Mail crashed for no apparent reason.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
Note. You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely
Ketil Hothorp

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.
Regards,
Praveen

KB953804 for delegatesentitemsstyle in Outlook 2003 in combination with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 not working.

KB953804 Full title "Hotfix for An e-mail message does not appear in a user's mailbox if the e-mail message was sent on behalf of the user by a delegate in Outlook 2003."
We have this working for ok Outlook 2003 SP3 in combination with Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Now for mailboxes that are moved to our new Exchange 2010 environment the hotfix stopped working. The sent items get stuck in the outbox of the delegate instead
of moving to the user in whose name the mail was sent. It does not matter if the user mailbox is on 2003 or 2010 as long as the delegated user is on Exchange 2010 SP1 it fails. We use Outlook 2003 SP3 in online mode. Does anyone know how to fix this
or maybe someone knows an alternative way to move the mails to the sent items with Exchange2010 SP1.

Hi,
I'd like to know how did you set "send on behalf",from outlook give delegation permission or from Exchange Server give "send as" right?
Please try to use get-adpermission to verify if the user has "send as" right.
Manage Send As Permissions for a Mailbox
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx
Note: After you grant send as right, please try to restart Microsoft Information Store.
By the way, do you receive any NDR or error information when you send on behalf of others?

Can java mail be used for distributed exchange server?

H,
I am trying to connect to MS Exchange Server to read my mails using Java Mail API.
I have a questions about using it with Exchange server.
We have 6-7 exchange servers in our company and different users have mailboxes on different servers. My internet mail application will be used by everybody in the company.
But while connecting to exchange server using java mail I can only cnnnect to one server and port. What happens when user mailbox is not on that server. How can I use javamail in this scenario where user mailboxes are on separate servers??
Thanks

You said that you can connect to Exchange server my you help me with this because i cant connect to Exchange server, mayby you can post me a code example? Thanks

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:
Re: Calendar will not sync with Exchange Server
Thanks, again, for posting!

How to send mail in PL/SQL using exchange server details.

Hi Experts,
Business user has provided us the exchange server details to send mails.How can I send mails thru PL/SQL using exchange server details.

user595740 wrote:

Oracle supports the standard application protocol SMTP - it does not support a proprietary protocol like that used by Exchange that only works on the Windows operating system. It however provides you with the flexibility to code this yourself.
If you for example use Microsoft MAPI (Mail Application Programming Interface), you can integrate it with PL/SQL using the external procedure (extproc) feature of Oracle.
In a nutshell, extproc enables you to create PL/SQL wrappers for public DLL calls. I posted sample code that demonstrates this in {message:id=2271919}. The sample code is for calling a DLL interface on HP-UX, but the concept is identical on Windows.
