Multiple exchange accounts under Lion Mac Mail?

My wife is making the switch back to Mac after having to have a Windows only machine for work. Currently she has Office 2010 for Windows and is able to set up two exchange accounts under it.
I checked around and could not find a current definitive answer, but is Mac Mail on Lion able to support two exchange accounts?
Thanks for your help.

If no one answers here please post in the Lion Forum forum, because Mail is considered part of OS X that is good place to look too. Also look to your right under More Like This to see if there are any answers there.

Support for multiple Exchange accounts

I can't seem to get multiple exchange accounts to work in Mail. Everything I have read says it should work but no such luck.
I have 4 accounts on our exchange server so i need them all in Mail. The first one I set up works fine, but if I add others, the messages do not appear in the mailboxes anymore.
Has this happened to anybody else? I have tried it on my iMac and my MacBook Pro and the same thing happens on both.

Same thing happens to me.
When I add a second exchange account, all of the mail (including folders) from the first account move into the second one. The first account that was added is empty. I have two other exchange accounts, but haven't dared to add them. For now, I deleted the second account and have just the one (that is used the most) setup in Mail.

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.

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,
Wally

Mountain Lion / Mac mail disconnects from MS Exchange server.

We use an MS Exchange account for our company email. We bought 2 new retina display MacBook Pros running Mountain Lion last Fall. My old laptop is still running Lion. Lion / Mac Mail works fine on the old laptop, never losing contact with the MS Exchange server. Mountain Lion / Mac Mail randomly loses contact with our exchange server on a regular basis. This results in a slow and painful re-download of 2 years worth of email while I have to resort to my old laptop to keep up with new incoming email. I check these discussions occasionally when I can find a spare moment and I have found some similar symptoms being complained about, but no solutions yet. There have been a couple of OS updates since we bought the new laptops, but alas, no mention of this problem. It seems no one is doing anything about it. Have I missed a post? Anyone have any suggestions? This is getting really old.
Thanks!

I was having the same issue! I finally found a solution to it!
1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them). Just to be safe, I'll list the files and folders you should delete or rename and their directory paths:
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/
com.apple.Notes - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers
com.apple.Notes.plist - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences
com.apple.Notes.savedState - /Users/danieloria/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved
4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
NOTE: I also deleted all the stored information related to the exchange account in Keychain Access when I deleted the 4 com.apple files. This may or may not be necessary, but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Trouble Sending & Receiving Mail Through Exchange Account from Lion Mail

Mid-2011 MacBook Air, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.2.
I'm having trouble sending and recieving mail through my Exchange Server Mail account under Lion 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air. The MBA is new with a factory install of Lion. On my MBP the server settings were as follows:
Internal & External Server: red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
When I allow Mail to configure the server settings based on my company eMail ID & Password it sets it up as follows:
Internal Server: 10.32.16.62
External Server: autodiscover-red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
Part of the time this seems to work ok but frequently Mail cannot seem to connect to the Exchange Server to send/recieve. The internet connection is fine and I can send/recieve from my iCloud mail account with no problems.
I recently "upgraded" from mobileMe to iCloud, I do not seem to have any of these issues on my iPad2 or iPhone4, both of which are running iOS5.
Anyone have any ideas?

This started happening with me a week ago. Don't know if it's connected to the latest update or not. I'm running 10.6.7. I can get Exchange mail (sometimes) on my iPhone 3GS, but it's stopped on my MBP and iPad2. Neither can I log onto the company's web mail site from home ("can't reach server" error message). Weird and very frustrating. IT guy at work says there is nothing wrong at his end.

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

Outlook 2010/multiple exchange accounts/new mail notification on one only

Hi, is there a way to have multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010 but just have new mail notifications on the first only?
I tried having the first exchange account open an additional user, but running into memory errors as a result. Found the solution to that by adding them as separate accounts, but this creates noise with mail notifications, reminders, etc-
Thanks in advance - Joe

Hi,
You can configure multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. For details on how to configure, you can refer to this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook/archive/2009/08/25/multiple-exchange-accounts-in-outlook-2010.aspx
Also, only the default mail store will get the new mail icon. You can use rules to pop up a desktop notification for the other accounts but the icon will only appear
for the default account.

Multiple exchange accounts in iCal

I have two accounts on the same exchange server. Two different emails and calendars. I can get one account to work and the other will not. I have read that you need to make sure that the email account must show up in the active directory and it does.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
cwb

I've found the same problem in OS X Lion, with Mail, iCal and Address Book getting confused when two Exchange accounts on the same server are configured, resulting in either missing or duplicate entries (despite everything appearing fine when accessing the accounts individually via Outlook or OWA). iOS doesn't have any problem with this setup; two Exchange accounts on the same server work perfectly; the issue seems specific to Mac OS X.
After some experimentation I've found a workaround. Since the issue crops up with two Exchange accounts on the same server, it seems possible to trick OS X into thinking the accounts are on two separate servers through a little DNS manipulation (which I realize may not be a practical option for everyone). Here's what resolved the issue for me:
My external and internal DNS FQDNs for the mail server were mail.mydomain.com.
I set up a new DNS entry - mail2.mydomain.com - as a CNAME for mail.mydomain.com.
On my Mac, I set up Exchange account #1 with the server set to mail.mydomain.com.
I then set up Exchange account #2 with the server set to mail2.mydomain.com.
Even though both FQDNs resolve to the same IP, this seems sufficient for Mac OS X to consider them as separate servers, elliminating the problems I had before when I set both Exchange accounts to the same mail server FQDN.
I've only tried this on OS X 10.7 Lion, and the recent 10.7.1 update, although I wouldn't be surprised if the same trick works for earlier versions of OS X.

Searching Multiple Exchange Accounts in Outlook 2010

Hi
After upgrading to Outlook 2010, one of my users can no longer search multiple exchange accounts. Here is the background. The user is an administrative assistant for 2 partners. She has full permissions against their mailboxes. Their
accounts show up under her Outlook profile and she can access all the mail, calendars, etc. However, when she searches, she only gets results back for her mailbox. She needs to be able to search and get results back from the partners mailboxes
as well. Is there a setting we are missing?
Thanks,

Hi,
It seems to be an issue fixed by the updates. Make sure you have patched Office 2010 SP1 and have the programs up to date on the assistant's computer.

Outlook 2010 - Multiple Exchange Accounts - Won't send from second account

I've setup multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. I receive fine for both accounts, but cannot send from second account. Sent email goes to the Outbox and stays there.
I've tried going back to a second profile, and it works fine. Mail in Outbox from efforts above stay in Outbox. If I pull them up, I can resend with no issue.
I need to be able to send with multiple accounts in same profile to do other projects I'm currently working on. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Mike

I was able to fix this with Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1.
Another area that I had to change was the inbox for that other account I created a rule to put in the primary inbox folder (email 2).
After that the email was only checking one to send and recieve based on the highlighted account, so to resolved that I went to Send/Reveive Groups > Define Groups > Edit Account Properties and made sure they refresh every 1 minute(s).

Because if I go into my email account nothing appears in the outbox?Of course not. Why would it appear in your e-mail reader's outbox when your e-mail reader did not send the e-mail ?
my Pl/sql looks like:
BEGIN
utl_mail.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Test',
message => 'HOlix');
END;And this results in the Oracle database server to contact the mail server and send the mail. Your e-mail client is not part of this process. Your e-mail reader does not know about that e-mail. Your e-mail reader is a client- not a server. It has no reason to know what another e-mail client (your PL/SQL code) send or did not send.
You want an outbox? You need then to design and code one for your PL/SQL mail client.
I dont understand what happen?Perhaps you should read up on WHAT a mail (SMTP) server is, HOW it works, and WHAT a PPOP3/IMAP mailbox is, and HOW that works?

Search Question for Lion Mac Mail

In recent weeks, I've figured out most of the thorny issues with Lion Mac Mail, but maybe someone can help me with this one:
When I search "Sent Mail', the results come back with my name showcased in bold (which serves no purpose, I mean I'm searching from my Sent folder, so we can assume they're all from me). In earlier versions, however, the name of the recipient would be showcased. Much more useful.
Let me give you an example. I'm trying to find emails where I mentioned a Golden Spatula. I know I wrote to several people about this sacred utensil. Okay, in the past, the search engine would list all the emails where this term arises, and they would be distinguished by who I sent them to.
Now, I see a list of all the emails, but my name in bold is the only term I can quickly peruse.
Know what I'm talking about? Any suggestions?
Thanks.....T

Multiple email accounts under one master

I have 2 kids that would like email accounts. I would like the option of reading their email, if I need to. How do I set up multiple email accounts under one master account? Can it be set up so that their email cannot be deleted by them?
Thank you in advance.

You'll need a third party solution to monitor your children's email, etc. Anyone that can access an email account can create, read, and delete messages.
Spector for Mac is one product I found on Google, that appears to do what you need. I'm sure others are available.
Here's the search I used to find it.

Multiple exchange-accounts

Hi everybody
I have a gmail that contains all my personal e-mails, contacts and calender notes. I also have a work e-mail that contains alle my work related e-mails, contacts and calender note (meetings ect.)
Both accounts can configured as a "Mail for Exchange" which suites me perfectly. I have tried iPhone and Android and it works perfect with multiple exchange account - but Nokia C7 doesn't? Why?
I have googled this for some time without getting any good anwers. Some people says that raodsync does the trick but on the roadsync supportpage the developers state that rodadsync only support one exchange account at the time.
Can it be true that the largest cell-phone manufacturer in the world don't support this simple feature. iOS and Android does...
Please help me, I would like to switch to Nokia but this issue is a deal-breaker :-(
Sincerly yours

Hi!

Let me know if this possible at least.
Thank you in advance,
