Mail search in iOS 7 doesn't allow me to select messages from results for Exchange account

I perform an Exchange mailbox search and after getting the results I tap on Edit to select some of the messages from the listed search results but I can't select any and the options for Move, Delete and Mark are greyed out.
If I do the search on the Gmail mailbox instead, the selection circle is available, I can select individual messages and the options for moving, etc. are all available.

OK - unless a miracle happens in the next 5-10 minutes - apple's current stance on this is that we (corporate users) are going to have to work on this problem on our side of it!
I asked - so you expect hundreds, thousands of server admins (internal employee supported and hosted) to change their settings for you  - rather than you changing the way the search app works?  Response was YES!!!!
They recognize that it is happening as a result of the 'expanded' search functionality, that WE asked for.  Uh-hum it was working before and not now - don't think we asked for that.
They say that they have no intention of fixing what's broken in the app.  They consider it to not be broken - but rather improved.  WOW!
They are CLEARLY catering to the 'hey where you gonna be tonight' crowd - rather than the 'We need to meet up at 3:00pm to go over these final plans so that I can authorize the next phase of building.' and the 'Go ahead and plan for the 2 mergers we discussed to move forward - I am canceling the third, though' crowd.
Yes - I am venting.....
I am supposedly being transferred to the 'enterprise support team' now.  Tech tells me I never mentioned that it was an 'enterprise' issue.  I'm like - really - exchange account - and I mentioned the corporate impact of the problem from the beginning.  Anyway - we'll see where I get.
Just FYI - their search tool is supposedly returning these results because ALL of our servers are searching and seeing a server setting that allows it to search historical info ON the server.  He says it happened this way in io6 - but it did not (thus we searched fine before and not now).  I have two users (iPhone 5) who upgraded and have the problem - and one user (iPhone 5) who has not upgraded and does not have the problem.
OK - just got off the phone with apple.  I was just transferred to the enterprise team - who said that rackspace could pay $700 and then apple would look into the problem.  No, I am not joking.  I recommend that you all continue to post your problems with the mail search as often as possible - and hopefully apple will take some responsibility and fix the issue on the app side - rather than asking us to all supposedly fix it on the server side.
I am contacting my exchange server admin to see if there is in fact a setting that will 'fix' the ghosting of the emails.  If there is in fact a server side work around - I will post back.  If apple gets smart and decides that fixing broken corporate features matters to them - I will also post back.
Any suggestions from the IT world reading this?

    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

  • C6-00 mail for Exchange account consumes a lot of ...

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to set up push mail for my gmail account. I have tried RoadSync application and built-in 'Mail for Exchange' account in my phone. While RoadSync after one hour of instance connection consumes about 100kB of transfer built-in account consumes mega bytes of transfer. It activates connection every 10-20 sec and send and receive data. In both cases I didn't receive any new message.
    Does anyone of you has the same problem and can explain me why my phone is updating all the time? Push mail suppose to receive data only when new email is on my inbox, not all the time. Do you know how to reduce this data consumption? I don't care if my phone reads a lot of data because I have unlimited Internet but it also takes a lot of battery and that's my major problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards,

    I had this same problem with my C6-00 and my older E71. I could not get GMail to successfully syncronise using Nokia Mail for Exchange.
    I ended up purchasing another client from the Ovi Store (RoadSync) which works perfectly.
    I am not pleased that Nokia's client doesn't work with my service, but the RoadSync client was quite cheap (US$6.60) and hasn't failed me once.

  • Deleting Mail For Exchange Account from Symbian^3

    Since buying my C7, I have been playing with the email settings to try and set up the correct account information that works best for my phone. In doing so I have tried both imap and mail for exchange. In the end I plumped for GMAIL imap and deleted all other accounts. Recently I have needed to set up a mail for exchange account again and when I tried to create a new account it confirmed that I could only set up one such account and that I should delete the other.
    I looked at my account list but there was only my IMAP Gmail account. I tried switching the phone off and then on again and the email app then confirmed that there was a mail for exchange account. When I tried to view the account settings or make changes it confirmed that it was not possible to access the account at this time. 
    I tried deleting the account but although it lets me do this, when I try to add a new mail for exchange account I get the same message as per above and the account is recreated when I next switch off / on?
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this......or will I need to factory reset?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have managed to sort this now. Obviously one of my previous mail for exchange settings had become corrupted and could then not be updated. To fix the problem I downloaded the Nokia configurator tool (available on the downloads section of this site) and got it to read my settings on the phone. I then unticked everything apart from the mail for exchange settings and manually entered them in the tool. I then sent these settings back to the phone and rebooted the phone. The mail for exchange account then appeared although strangely none of the settings I entered had been sent, but I could then edit the account and get it working. I then deleted the account again on the phone and this completed successfully and would allow me to re-add......phew.
    I just need PR1.2 so that I can use mail for exchange lol.

  • Is viewing Mail for Exchange account in Nokia Mess...

    I've got a XM5530 with the latest firmware installed. I've downloaded what i thought was the latest version of Mail for Exchange (from the SW update on the phone) v.2.09(208). I saw a v3 available on Ovi.com, but when I downloaded and installed, it still says v2.09(208) on my phone.
    My version of Nokia Messaging is also the latest version I can find (10.02(4)).
    Both are working fine independantly, but I want to have my Mail for Exchange account in my Nokia Messaging. Is this possible???
    I saw online that the latest version of Mail for Exchange supports Nokia Messaging, and when you set up a new email account you get an option to select an 'Exchange' account. But, I don't get this. All I get is enter fields for 'email address' & 'password' which I enter, but it does not recognise my details. (I get no 'exchange' option).
    Is this only available on certain handsets. Can I do it on my 5530??
    Please help

    Hello,
    Mail for Exchange 3.0 is not (yet?) supported on the 5530.
    I am also waiting, does anyone know if Nokia plans to release Mfe 3.0 for  the 5530 ??? Sure hope so, for the moment  I am using 2.9 but the support for subfolders and HTML would be a huge benefit!!
    Regards,

  • IOS 8.12 Apple Mail for Exchange Account Deletes Message from Server

    Both my computers are set to leave Exchange emails on the server, but I can't find how to set this on my iPhone. So, if I happen to first open a message on my phone, it's no longer available when I open Apple Mail on either of my computers. I need the messages on my iMac and MacBook Pro--not just on my iPhone. How can I change the settings on my iPhone so that Exchange doesn’t delete messages once they're downloaded to the phone? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer. --Bill

    Thanks, Glenn. I get as far as the Advanced Settings screen, and there are 3 items for choices:
    • Use SLL - on
    • Move Discarded Messages into:
      Deleted Mailbox - check
      Archive Mailbox - not checked
    • S/MIME
      S/MIME - off
    I don't see how I can choose to NOT delete messages. (I'm assuming that the Move Discarded Messages into: Deleted Mailbox is a setting to tell iOS 8 what to do with a message that I choose to delete from my iPhone.)
    Any further guidance?
    thanks,
    Bill

  • Can't Delete or Move Mail for Exchange Account

    I am using Mail to connect to my work e-mail.  It's an Exchange account.  Every time I try to move an e-mail I get: "messages could not be moved to the mailbox XXX".  If I try and delete an e-mail message I get "messages could not be moved to the mailbox Trash".  If I click on the question mark on the pop-up dialog, I get :
    The selected topic is currently unavailable.
    The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
    The lack of detailed error message doesn't allow me to send a detailed query to our IT support team.  I don't see how they can help me when I have no details about the error.
    I didn't get this error before I upgraded to Lion.  Anyone having similar problems?  Is there a way to get better error messages?
    ...Stephen

    I have the same problem regularly and also don't know how Mail can recover from this situation. One way I figured out is to delete the local Exchange folder when Mail is not running. If you then start Mail again it automatically rereads your whole mailbox from the server. But only remove the Exchange mailbox if you have any others .
    You can find it at <user>/Library/Mail/
    Actually, I have a folder V2 there and my exchange folder is inside this one.
    Hope that helps for a quick fix.
    Nevertheless, I'm also interested in a "user friendly" solution. It seems that Mail struggles at some points and then dos not resync with the exchange server again. Don't know why, because I thought that the Exchange server is the leading instance for that mailbox. By the way, I had this problem also with Snow Leopard.

  • TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

    Hi,
    I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
    I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
    As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
    I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
    This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
    This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
    My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
    However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
    For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
    I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
    Regards,
    Morten

  • After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

  • Mail won't retrieve messages from my primary Comcast account

    Apple Mail, Version 2.1 (752/752.2), downloads emails from my yahoo.com and gmail.com accounts, but it has suddenly stopped downloading emails from my primary Comcast account to my G5 iMac. I get no error messages.
    Trying to retrieve email in Apple Mail can sometimes cause the Comcast email server to classify all unread messages as read. If Mail is set to "remove copy from server right away after retrieving a message," then all of my new messages are deleted from the Comcast server before I ever see them, even though they have not been retrieved.
    Curiously, the only emails that Mail can access from my primary Comcast account are those that have been automatically forwarded from my secondary Comcast accounts. (Just out of curiosity, I tried manually forwarding a message from my primary account to my primary account; it could not be retrieved by Mail.)
    My wife and daughter, on the same hard-wired ethernet LAN, have no problem accessing their primary Comcast email accounts with Mail on their Macs (MacBook and G4 iMac). Our settings for Comcast accounts seem to be identical on all three computers.
    Perhaps coincidentally, I also have Comcast Digital Voice VoIP telephone service, and this email problem started while Comcast was troubleshooting problems with my voicemail. I use separate cable modems for phone (Arris TM402P) and Internet (Motorola SB5100).
    I've tried: 1) rebuilding all of the mailboxes in my Mail Inbox; 2) deleting all of my emails on the Comcast server and emptying the trash; 3) setting the outgoing SMTP mail server on all of my email accounts to Comcast; 4) repairing permissions and running maintenance scripts; 5) shutting down the computer overnight; 6) Comcast support -- they try, but then give up and say that they don't support Apple Mail.
    I'd appreciate any assistance.
    iMac G5 1.9GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1 GB RAM

    This problem was apparently caused by one of two things: 1) trying to use Mail with an AIM.com IMAP account; or 2) corruption somewhere in my Rules and Mailboxes.
    I had to rebuild my POP accounts from the ground up. First, I backed up Mail preferences and messages. After quitting Mail and deleting the preference file com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from Users/Home/Library, I launched Mail and created new accounts and new rules.
    Prior to this issue, I had been using Apple Mail for three years to retrieve POP mail from Comcast and other accounts. This was my first experience with IMAP.

  • Import selected messages from Mail backup

    I recently did a Carbon Copy Clone backup, switched my hard drive and cloned back to the new drive. So far, so good. But 3 days elapsed between the clone and the switch and I'd like to recover my Mail messages from that period. I have the old drive hitched up in an enclosure, am wondering if I can selectively import messages or do I have to import the whole mailbox?
    Thanks,
    Phoebe

    Thanks for helping David. I can see individual messages in the (archive) mailboxes and when I click on them I can see their dates. I only need three days worth. I eventually worked around this by copying the ones I wanted to the desktop and then opening them in Mail and resending them to myself to get them into the mailbox. Clumsy but effective. I guess I could have imported them all and then deleted the ones I didn't need too.

  • 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.
