Mail with exchange server problem.

I keep getting a connection failed message asking me to chdeck the settings for my exchange account. I've done this many times and even managed to talk our administrator into checking the settings.
The error message contains the information that the host xxxx server on port 143 failed. This port may be incorrect, but how do I chage it?
I have managed to sync with my exchange account and all messages seem present, just can't send or recieve from mail, via exchange server.
suggestions?????/

I think the problem of intermittent connections to the mail server is that it may be caused by OSX's firewall, so what I did was to go to System preferences>sharing>Firewall, I opted for a New port, I selected "other" and named it Mail and under the TCP port number I input 25 or you may input whatever you use (ssl requires a different number) or you may do several to cover all the accounts and name them mail2, mail3 etc. if you are wondering what UDP is, its the following: is a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network, in other words if you are not sure avoid inputing a number here. So far Im trying it out for stability, I have read many articles and the solution may be as simple as this, its easy to try and non permanent, any one trying this solution please post any experiences. Thanks

  • Mail sync with exchange server problem

    I started using Apple last year but have a problem with syncing to my exchange server. My iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air all sync fine but Mail on my iMac will only sync up to 20/08/2013.
    The MacBook Air runs 10.9.1 and Mail v7.1 and syncs my exchange and IMAP mail perfectly.
    The iMac runs 10.9.1 and Mail v7.1 and syncs my IMAP mail accounts fine but will not sync beyond 20/08/2013.  I have tried deleting the account but keep getting messages that this will delete the account from my Macbook as they are linked via icloud.  I can disable the account on the iMac but cant see how to delete it then.
    There are posts about deleting mail caches but I dont know which files these are.
    Can you help please?

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Make sure that you have enabled auto sync under settings > auto sync and under email > menu button > settings > your account > synchronize email. 
    If the settings is correct, you could try with another email client from Google Play to see if you experience any difference behavior.

  • Anyone else having sudden Mail Outgoing Exchange Server problems?

    I have a Microsoft Exchange account for work that I have been accessing on Mail for about 2 yrs w/o any problems until last weekend. Then, suddenly, I can't send emails from that account if I originate the email, but I can send it w/o difficulty if I'm replying to an email from that account!
    Also, when I do open a new email on that acct, it opens as an iCloud mail, and I have to select my Exchange server in the dropdown. When I do this, it doesn't add in my Signature for that acct, although it does when I'm replying to an email.
    I've made no changes to my account or server settings, nor has our Administrator. My Lion/Mail versions are UTD. When I check the Outgoing server info, I notice it keeps deleting it, and marking the server as Offline.
    I can log in as a webmail (owa) acct, and can also log in on my PC--same PW, etc.
    VERY strange--have been searching Discussions/Help/Knowledge Base since then and trying everything I can think of (with 22+ yrs Mac experience)--to no avail.
    Any thoughts from the Mail Gurus out there?

    Same thing. I'm in Mexico City right now and Mail stopped working two days into the trip. I reset all my email accounts in Mail and it still wouldn't work. I had to switch to Entourage to recieve and send emails (worked perfectly).  I prefer Mail but I've had this problem before with emails getting hung up. What's going on here?

  • Mail with Exchange Server 2007

    About a week ago our company upgraded from Exchange Server 2003 to 2007. Since Mail is more or less not working anymore. As soon I send an email Mail hangs. It tries to send the mail forever. As soon Mail check for new emails, this will hang too. After that point, I can not even look at emails already downloaded to my computer. Instead of the text, I only get an icon "loading".
    Has anybody had the same experience. And even more important, maybe a fix. Working with Parallels and Outlook is a pain in the a. I don not have Entourage.
    Thanks for your input.

    Go to your Exchange accounts web access (OWA) and see if the mail in Mail matches the Mail in OWA.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Are you set up for POP or IMAP? For POP, that's the normal behavior. For IMAP, try making sure you have the synchronize mail folders option selected. The is under Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Advanced.

  • 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.

  • I have problems to connect iCal 6.0 (Mountain Lion) with Exchange Server 2007

    I used ICal with Exchange Server 2007 without problems with Lion. After I adopted Mountain it has been impossible to use ICal and I have obliged to use Outlook because It was not possible to connect ICal with Server.
    I reinstalled Mountain and rebuilt Outlook data base, canceled cache and so on but without results. How cn I do?

    I was having problems with this too. I remember it working okay in iOS 7 and then it breaking in iOS 8.
    Fortunately, I'm now on the iOS 8.1 beta, and can confirm it's working fine for me. Just how it used to. - I guess that's one of the bugs that Apple's new software will bust. We'll just have to wait it out.

  • Send mail to exchange server with TLS

    Hi,
    last month I enabled an oracle wallet TDE for creating encription for TS.
    Today, development team needs to send mail to exchange server with TLS.
    So I found this procedure on oracle support Doc ID 1323140.1
    My question is, can I use the same wallet to send mails from db?
    The Oracle Database  11.2.0.3
    Or I need to implement a different type of wallet with certificate?
    Is there, in this case,  a procedure step by step?
    I have never implemented that and I'm very confused....
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi, I have implemented a new wallet with certificates (for test SMTP.gmail.com) and i'm tryied to use this procedure:
    DECLARE
    mailhost VARCHAR2(64) := 'smtp.mydomain.it';
    sender VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
    recipient VARCHAR2(64) := '[email protected]';
    wallet_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'welcome1';
    wallet_loc VARCHAR2(64) := 'file:/etc/ORACLE/FRMSSYST/SMTP/';
    user_name VARCHAR2(64) := 'HDC021319';  -- alias for '[email protected]'
    user_pwd VARCHAR2(64) := 'password';  -- password of [email protected]
    mail_connection utl_smtp.connection;
    BEGIN
    -- Make a secure connection using the SSL port configured with your SMTP server
    -- Note: The sample code here uses the default of 465 but check your SMTP server settings
    mail_connection := utl_smtp.open_connection(
    host => mailhost,
    port => 25,
    wallet_path => wallet_loc,
    wallet_password => wallet_pwd,
    secure_connection_before_smtp => FALSE);
    -- Call the Auth procedure to authorized a user for access to the mail server
    -- Schemes should be set appropriatelty for your mail server
    -- See the UTL_SMTP documentation for a list of constants and meanings
    UTL_SMTP.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
    UTL_SMTP.STARTTLS(mail_connection);
    UTL_SMTP.AUTH(
    c => mail_connection,
    username => user_name,
    password => user_pwd,
    schemes => 'LOGIN');
    -- Set up and make the the basic smtp calls to send a test email
    utl_smtp.helo(mail_connection, mailhost);
    utl_smtp.mail(mail_connection, sender);
    utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_connection, recipient);
    utl_smtp.open_data(mail_connection);
    utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This is a test message using SSL with SMTP.' || chr(13));
    utl_smtp.write_data(mail_connection, 'This test requires an Oracle Wallet be properly configured.' || chr(13));
    utl_smtp.close_data(mail_connection);
    utl_smtp.quit(mail_connection);
    END;
    This procedure, works fine if I try to send an email to smtp.gmail.com (I tried first with gmail with appropriate certificates), but now, when I try to send an email to the local enterprise Exchange server  I get this error:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 503 5.5.2 Send hello first

  • How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

    I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's.  We are running outlook and exchange server.  My email works fine.  My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky.  The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server.  What is the deal with this?  Is there a work-around?

    Let me fill in some blanks.  I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical.  My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server.  So here is the issue:
    a.     It first surfaced when we got iphones.  Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
    b.     THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical).  Everything works EXCEPT addressbook.  Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
    So my question is really this:  I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship.  I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices.  It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
    Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?

  • Can't set up Mail with Exchange

    Searching has shown that there seem to be a lot of problems with Exchange and Mail, but I wanted to check and see if there's anything else I can do to fix this. My Exchange server works fine with the iPhone and with Entourage, but with Mail it will never sync. I don't want Exchange calendar and contacts, just e-mail. I'm not sure if I'm setting it up wrong - there doesn't seem to be a place to put the domain name? Could that be a problem, or is this just a hopeless quest? I have heard that Snow Leopard should support Exchange, so maybe I will just wait it out. I'm just trying to get switched away from Entourage altogether and I don't like having to use two different e-mail programs. It just seems odd that it works so easily and well on the iPhone but not on a Mac.

    Same problem here. I've used Mail with Exchange for quite sometime but recently I can't send using the SMTP server. I can receive and even send to other email addresses on my Exchange network. But not to the outside world. Tried every configuration and authentication possible. Now I read (here in the discussions) that Mail 3.x (I'm using 3.6) is very unreliable with Exchange. I think we are desperately awaiting Snow Leopard. I will certainly not install Entourage on my Mac again that's for sure. I'm resorting to web access for my Exchange folders now.
    Anyone have any solution to this?

  • Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi All,
    My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
    My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,

    Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
    ERROR Says:
    Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
    The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
    Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
    !!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
    Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

  • 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!
