Missing Exchange account in mail sync options

Hi,
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, so I could access my Exchange accounts on my MacBook and iPhone 3G. I have successfully synced Mail w/Exchange. I can access my work mail, calendars, and notes on my MacBook. However, the Exchange mail account will not sync with my iPhone. It doesn't even show up in the list of mail accounts to sync in iTunes. Oddly enough, the calendar, notes, and contacts do sync and do appear in the syncing options. The only problem is actual mail account.
iPhone OS 3.1.3
Any help will be useful.
Thanks

If your Exchange account is not available below email accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you can manually create the account with the iPhone's Mail client. Select Add Account at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars followed by selecting Microsoft Exchange and follow the prompts.
When syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, you can also sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, but in this case the contacts and calendar events will be duplicated on your iPhone when doing so.

  • Can you only check one Exchange account using Mail?

    I use Mail to check multiple e-mail accounts - one IMAP, three POP, and one Exchange. All work great.
    I have an additional Exchange account that I would like to check and when I go to setup the account in Mail, it only lists POP or IMAP as the choices, whereas when I set up the last Exchange account, that was an option on the list. What happened to that choice? Does Mail only allow you to set up one Exchange account? I could not find any notes to this effect in the help, so I'm really confused.
    Thanks in advance for any clarification you might have.

    Spent a lot of frustrated time with my IT guys on this one. There are two equally frustrating solutions available.
    First solution is to access one of the Exchange accounts via IMAP, but the Exchange admins need to configure the server to allow that on their side and may not want to for security reasons.
    Second solution is to create a second user account for the second exchange account. Not elegant by any means.
    Barring that, you can always access the additional account vie webmail, or by installing Entourage.

  • What does the mail sync option do?

    Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro on Leopard. In iTunes i have the option to sync my mail (I use Gmail and .Mac) with my iPhone. Well, I'm running my iPhone and Apple Mail on IMAP on both Gmail and .Mac. so what exactly does this sync option do for me? I'm already synced since its IMAP. Am I missing something, or is that sync option only useful for those running POP?
    And its disabled at the moment, in case you were wondering.
    PS - IMAP Gmail on iPhone rocks.

  • TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
    hope this helps.

  • Completely delete Exchange account from Mail client on Mac

    I'm having a problem with a several e-mail messages in my Mail client.  These messages seem "stuck" in that whenever I try to delete these messages, I get an error message in Mail that says:
    An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — Exchange”.
    I named the account Exchange.  These messages are NOT on my Exchange mail server anymore - I also access my mail from an Outlook client as well and these "stuck" messages do not appear in Outlook which is pulling directly from Exchange.
    My first attempt to resolve was to delete the account from the Mail client and set it up again.  All of the folders and e-mail messages re-appeared almost instantly so it obviously didn't go out to the Exchange server and pull down over 100K e-mail messages in 30 seconds.
    Then I spoke to AppleCare.  They directed me to the Library to delete a subfolder in the Mail folder that appeared to contain the messages.  When I emptied the Trash, it appeared that the 100K messages were being deleted.  I went to Mail to setup the account again.  Again, the messages reappeared quickly as before and the problem messages were still there as if they never were deleted.
    So now I'm looking for a way to completely the Exchange account and all of its local data from Mail.  I want the Mail client to start from scratch and go out to the Exchange server to get the data like the account had never been setup on this Mac before.  I'd also opt for a fresh install of Mail but I have a MBA 11 so I don't have OS media or a DVD drive.
    Somewhere Mail is clealry caching info on that account.  It's apparent when I've deleted the account and then re-opened Mail to set it back up the first time.  Whenever the dialog box appears, it remembers my Exchange e-mail account information in the field so it's obviously pulling that information from somewhere locally on the Mac, not from the server.

    As you say, removing the Exchange account on Mail really doesn't delete it. It's caching something because of how quickly it finds the folders etc. if you add the account again.
    I was having a lot of very strange problems with Mail/Contacts/Calendar and certainly a new user I set up from scratch worked with Mail etc. straight away. I didn't test it for days but within seconds it pulled down all the correct emails and the number of unread tallied with my iPhone which was one of the annoying problems I was having.
    One of the things I read elsewhere is how useful doing a Mailbox/Rebuild from within Mail is. I just tried it now on my existing user name and it certainly seems to have helped. It immediately refreshed the Inbox and had it accurate. However, despite having it set to "1 min checking for new mail" after several mins it seems to have hung again and isn't refreshing.
    Mail for OSX has caused me a million more problems that for iOS which just works every time. I don't see how Apple can make it work so smoothly on iOS and give loads of problems on OSX.
    Have you tried the Mailbox/Rebuild?

  • Correct settings for adding Exchange account in Mail

    I have successfully added an exchange account to my iPhone. However, to add the same account to Mail there different, additional settings that I cannot seem to get right.
    the details I entered into my phone are as follows (please excuse the xxx's but I thought it best not to publish the full details of how to access my server!)
    server: arexxx1.axxxring.com
    domain: axxxring.local
    username: daniel
    password: xxxxxx
    the settings that are required to add an exchange account to mail are:
    incoming mail server
    username
    password
    outlook web access server
    outgoing mail server
    can anyone advise me how the settings I entered into my iphone might apply to the fields in Mail or if it is even possible.
    I am using os x 10.5.8 and exchange 2003.
    Many thanks

    Obviously you know your username and password so all you should require is the incoming and outgoing mail server addresses which you can obtain from the domain IT people who provide the Exchange account. I am not sure what the outlook web access server address is, but your IT people should know.

  • Address Book Accounts not showing sync options

    Address Book > Accounts not showing sync options. - just a blank panel to right of "On My Mac". Cause could possibly be that I imported current contact list from vcf export of AB. Anyone any toughts on how can I retrieve the syncing options?

    Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
    It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPad won't sync emails older than 2 weeks from my Microsoft Exchange account (no "No limit" option). Any chance I can get that back?

    I set up 2 differents Exchange accounts on my iPad2, Hotmail and business email.
    While the hotmail account has the "No limit" option for the syncing timeframe, the other one doesn't (2 weeks max.). Does anyone have that same problem and a possible solution?
    Thanks a lot!

    I would contact Yahoo and find out what settings you are supposed to use when setting up a business account on an iPad.

  • Cannot connect Exchange account to mail app in Mavericks

    Hi all,
    I recently bought a new macbook air 13" and am trying to set up my email. I have a university email account with microsoft outlook/exchange which I used exclusively through the Office 365 web portal in a web browser for the past 3 years since I could not get it to sync with outlook on my old PC either. Now I am trying to connect that Outlook account to the Mail app on my new macbook and am getting nowhere.
    I input my email address and password - not recognized, even though it works perfectly on my iphone. The server is also not recognized. I get the error message "internet accounts couldnt log in to the exchange server autodiscover-s.outlook.com". I tried adding an "other" account in mail as well using the appropriate incoming and outgoing server addresses for office 365; no dice. Password is incorrect, outlook server is offline, etc etc etc.
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to get my account to connect in mail. I know this has been a common problem but I was not able to find an exact solution. Please forgive any of my ignorance as this is my first Mac computer.

    Peter: this is exactly what I have been doing, nothing is working. Still giving me an error that my password is wrong and it cannot reach the server.
    Linc: I tried this and was able to force it through setup. When I connected to the internet, it gave me an error saying my password was wrong.
    The password I am using is the one that goes along with my university email address that I use to login to the outlook web app along with my school .edu email address. Should I be using a different password for this exchange account?

  • How to setup multiple Exchange accounts in Mail with the same username/password

    Okay didn't see a place to ask a Mail question so I am placing this here.
    I work for a helpdesk that requires me to monitor 4 different email accounts throughout the day. They are all Exchange accounts. The first one setups just fine but when I go to setup the others I get a message that states that the username and password are in use for the other account. Is there any way to setup multiple Exchange account when using the same LDAP creds for all the accounts?

    Csound1,
    I need to add a second Exchange account to my MBP using Mail.  Both accounts are with Rackspace, but each email address is unique (i.e., two different domain names).  When I use Preferences to attempt to add the second account, it recognizes the new credentials, finds the server and autopopulates the necessary address information.  But, as soon as I click "Done" after setting which functions are active on the account (mail, cal, contacts, etc.), the screen shows only my original Exchange account.  The new one is not added, yet there is no error message saying that it can't be added.  Any idea what is going on?  Shouldn't Mail be able to have multiple Exchange accounts, even if they are hosted via the same Rackspace server (in this case: connect.emailsrvr.com)?
    Many thanks,

  • Multiple Exchange accounts in Mail.app - is this possible?

    Hi folks,
    I would like to start using Mail.app with my Exchange accounts.
    Now, does Mail.app support this feature?
    If not can it be at least set up in such a way that through one single Exchange account I can see my other exchange accounts by delegating all the privileges to that main exchange accounts and thus doing it indirectly?
    Thanks
    Alex

  • How do I add 2003 Exchange account to Mail using Snow Leopard

    I have my Exchange 2003 account working on my iPhone perfectly. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and would like to add the account to Mail. When I go through the set-up it asks me different info than the iPhone did. I've tried several possibilities without success. Is Exchange 2003 functional with SL in Mail?

    I believe Mail requires 2007, the same as the EWS version of Entourage.
    Microsoft Exchange Server: Connectivity to Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) or later version.
    Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) must be applied to both the Mailbox server and the Client Access server roles.

  • Difference between IMAP and "Exchange" account in mail?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Hosted Exchange 2007 account with Entourage 2004 actually. Now I want to try using Mail as an alternative application. As the server offers IMAP I could setup a new IMAP account in Mail and receive my Mails from Exchange. But Mail offers an "Exchange" account additionally. Can anyone explain me the difference between theese two Mail accounts? Is one better, faster or whatever?
    Best regards,
    Heiko

    Exchange uses a proprietary mail exchange protocol, while imap is standard. You can use a lot of different mail clients on different platforms with imap, and you don't have to worry about synchronization or conflicts since its server based. When you establish an imap connection, though, you stay connected to the server, so it's a relatively high resource user. Exchange is more verbose, and although its fundamentally server based using different exchange clients from different places doesn't synchronize well. Exchange will also update your outlook calendar, while imap will not. If it's just for mail, I vastly prefer imap.

  • Disappearing Exchange account e-mails on iPad & iPhone

    E-mails using and Exchange account started to disappear.  POP and IMAP accounts were not affected. This is on both iPad and iPhone.  iOS 7.1 on both.  This is a new event, started March 12.  All was normal before March 12, 2014

  • Multiple exchange accounts in Mail

    I have just added two "Exchange 2007" accounts to Mail 4.5. I run Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    The problem is that Mail messes up which account folders and messages belong to. For instance, both folders lists contains the same folders, but they (obviously) should not. The folders in one account is empty, as that account doesn't even have a folder by that name.
    I know I have received messages to one account (the one with the empty folders), but the "Inbox" shows as empty. This was the first account of the two that I added. It worked fine until I added the second account.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks!

    Let me name the accounts for easier reference.
    I added LT first, which worked.
    Then I added CS which worked, but caused LT to not work.
    I tried removing the LT account, and adding it again. It didn't help at all.
    So I quit Mail. Opened ~/Library/Mail and removed the EWS folder for the LT account.
    Opened Mail again.
    Now the account LT works just fine, but the account CS stopped working. The CS account now has no messages and no folders (in Mail).
    Correction: The CS account has no folders, but do have messages in the Inbox
