Mail won't auto complete Exchange email addresses after Lion

Hi there. I tried to lookup a solution for this problem on the support communities but wasn't able to. Since upgrading to Lion, the auto complete feature for email addresses in my University Exchange server won't work. Mail only completes addressees contained locally in my Mac. The feature worked fine with Snow Leopard and continues to work on both my iPhone and iPad. It's worth noting that setting up the exchange server itself wasn't a straight forward task either as the auto setup didn't work and I had to enter the exchange server address manually in Mail. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

The screenshot below is from SL, not Lion, but see if you can find something similar to this.
In Mail prefs, click on 'Composing', and look for the 'Configure LDAP' button. Click on that and add your server with the little '+' button.

  • Mail won't auto complete address completely

    Hello.  This may be hard to explain properly but here goes!  In Mac Mail, when I type an address in the TO line, it auto completes the address and it is highlighted in blue, but I have to click in the text portion of the message in order for it to become one address in the TO line.  I'm quite sure in Mavericks, that once I had begun to type the address, it would auto complete completely and I could go on to the Subject line.  Hope someone can assist in this. Thanks.

    Thanks Eric, that is a solution of sorts but I would find it better if it would be done without having to click in the subject area or
    hitting return as you suggest.  Thanks for your input.

  • Auto complete of email address

    Every time I put in my email address in a field I get a crazy substitute for my address! I thought that frequently used addresses would be remembered. Please help me solve this mystery....very, very frustrating.  Thanks;0)

    It doesn't just use addresses from Contacts, it uses addresses that have been used in sending and receiving emails over a period of time.
    Several people have sent feedback requesting that this info should be made erasable as it can become a bit of a pain after a while.

  • IPad Air 2 won't connect to exchange emails

    Hello, I've recently purchased an iPad Air 2 WiFi model. Everything transferred from my iCloud backup from my iPad mini except for 2 of my exchange email addresses I use for work. The emails work everywhere, in my iMac and iPhone 6. I've tried deleted the accounts and setup from scratch, and it looks like it sets up successfully but when I go to the mail app, it shows the inbox but nothing else comes in.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Hi Ya'll,
    I finally worked out why we don't receive Webmail.
    Webmail is restricted to a maximun of 10 partnerships with mobile appliances. Hence, just because you change iPads/iPhones etc., it does not automatically delete these on its server. So if you upgrade  from an iPhone 5s to a iPhone6 or an Air 1 to an Air 2, that does not automatically delete the old appliance.
    So here is the message that I got from Webmail:
    You have 10 phone partnerships out of the maximum allowed 10 partnerships. After you reach the maximum, you can't create additional partnerships until you delete existing ones from your account. To do so, sign in to Outlook Web App, click Options > Phone > Mobile Phones, and delete any unused partnerships.
    If you follow these steps, it should all work just fine.
    thanks,
    Gunaroo

  • I would like to find out how I can setup my Mac Air to allow me to have an email template open up in Outlook instead of Mail when I click on an email address on a website.

    Can anyone help me with setting up my Mac Air, to allow me to have an email template open up in Outlook instead of Mail when I click on an email address on a website?

    All the limits you mention 100 e-mails at a time and 500 in a four hour time frame are limitations imposed by your mail provider, not Thunderbird. Thunderbird places no restrictions on the maximum number of recipients.
    Have you tried turning your computer off for a few minutes?

    In Mail, is it possible to extract email addresses of senders from just one account inbox?

    Click on the arrow next to the number of emails in the conversation. That'll show you each separate email. You can create a new mailbox (call it what you want) and drag that email out of the conversation into that mailbox.

  • Changing ipod's exchange email address

    Hi, i recently deleted my old exchange email address ( it was old and childish ), but i can't change it to my new email adrdress.
    Here's the problem:  i have no idea what to fill out in the server field... (lol, iam really is bad technology) but what is it?? my email adress is ***.***@ GMAIL.com So is ''Gmail'' what i have to fill out? each time i fill ''gmail'' in the server field it keeps verifying and verifying but it always ends up saying: '' unable to verify account information''
    Please help!!!!!! It's really bugging me now because i can't check my emails from my ipod anymore!!!
    And if someone actually understands me, can you please explain step by step the things i have to do and fill out? i already checked out this site: http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2480, but from the 3rd step ( in the link below) i dont know what to do!!!!
    Thank you.

    Agree 100% with Ben.  SIP address matching the email address is best practice and is absolutely viable, nearly 100% of deployments I've seen use this with the exception of a small handful of internal-only shops.
    When users sign in with external/mobile they will need both the SIP address and AD address during sign in, but once entered it will be cached and will not need to be entered repeatedly.
    As Ben mentioned, the large benefit comes from federated communications.  You don't have to tell anyone your SIP address, they can just communicate with you because they know your email address.

  • Disabling auto-complete on corp address book

    Is there a way to disable auto-complete on corp address book on a per user basis?

    LDAP attribute for a per-user option:
    sunUCExtendedUserPrefs: corpDirAutoCompleteEnabled=true/false
    Per-user preference (option), if present overrides the system-wide setting.So it does. Unfortunately there is no way for the end-user to change this setting via the default Convergence interface.
    I've logged an RFE to have an option added however I still don't understand what the use-case is:

  • My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

    I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again.  I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

    I am trying to reset my security questions but it won't send to my email address

    If you already have a valid rescue email address, send the email to it, wait a few hours, and check the spam filter. If you don't, use the instructions in that article to contact Apple as if you had one security question and lost the Apple ID password.

  • Mail (Mavericks) replies with the wrong email address

    Currently using Mavericks, 10.9.5, on my MacBook Pro (15", early 2011 version), and the default Mail app.
    I belong to a fair number of email discussion groups, most specifically with Yahoo! Groups, and I've set up a specific account and email address for use with that service.  I also have currently setup several other email addresses within Mail, all seven of them are POP3 accounts.
    Yahoo! requires me to send email to the group from the address that is registered, but Mail doesn't use the correct email address as the default when I reply to the posts despite the fact that the original message was sent to the correct account.  Mail uses the email address from the account that's at the top of the Inbox listing for the address, not the one I want used.  I usually find out that messages sent were on the incorrect address when I get the bounce back from Yahoo! indicating I sent from the wrong address.  Digging through the sent items, setting the address correctly and resending fixes the original fault, but my iPhone (all versions of iOS 6, 7 and 8) replies correctly, but Mavericks Mail does not.
    Has anyone else had this happen to them, and was the upgrade to Yosemite the fix?  Or is it still broken there?
    TIA,
    Jon

    Open Mail preferences and select the Composing tab. Check the Send New Messages From box and see what is selected. Either select an account to send from as default or select Account of selected mailbox.
    Also open the Accounts tab and check the outgoing server for the account. Be sure you have the correct SMTP server set for that account and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do the same for all accounts making sure you have the correct server for each account. If there is a problem with that server, you will get a pop up asking to select a different server in the event of a failure. Otherwise, if that box is not checked, it will just select another server if there is a problem with the one for that account. That could be your problem.
    Send a test message to verify that. You can also reorder the mailboxes under the inbox by dragging each to the order you want. Depending on the settings in preferences, either the highlighted account will be the sending account or the default address you set in the list. Replies should always come from the address that was sent too.

    Hi pjerl,
    Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:

  • Keeping BT email address after cancelling BT Broad...

    Hi,
    I have recently cancelled my BT Broadband service (due to a move abroad) but would like to continue using my BT email service (currently an address @btinternet.com, still on BT Yahoo Mail).
    This page states clearly that the email service can be retained as long as I keep using it:
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13140/~/what-happens-to-my-bt-internet-email-account-...
    However, the cancellation e-mail I received from BT is also very clear about the e-mail service being lost unless I sign up for BT Premium Mail:
    FREE BT email - you'll be able to use your BT email for 30 days after 20 Aug 2014, but then we'll close the account and permanently delete your emails, contacts, calendar and notes. If you'd like to keep your BT email account, you can sign up to BT Premium Mail for just £1.60 a month (which you'll need to do before we close your account). With BT Premium Mail you can keep using your @btinternet or @btopenworld email accounts no matter who provides your broadband. Find out more at bt.com/keepmyemail
    Could one of the BT Mods please confirm that the email account will remain active and won't be deleted?
    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Hi guillem,
    I'm sorry about any confusion around the cancellation of your BT broadband. Your email will continue to work for 30 days after you've cancelled your broadband however if you wish to continue using your @btinternet.com email address after this time you will need to subscribe to the premium mail service.
    Thanks
