OS Lion Mail: Microsoft Exchange Server Rejects Password

Hello,
I just upgraded to Lion and was attempting to set up all of my email accounts into Mail. My Yahoo, AOL, and Gmail accounts all worked fine, but my Microsoft Exchange account did not. When I set it up through Settings originally, everything seemed fine and it had no problem verifying the account. However, when I try to retrieve mail from the Exchange account within Mail, it gives me an error saying that the server rejected the password and then prompts me to enter the password again. I enter the correct password, and the same window pops up over and over again. Has anyone found a fix to this problem?
Thank you!

Same Problem here since days and nobody at Apple is picking it up, even though a lot of people experiencing the same issues.
I Tried deleting all accounts (GMX, Exchange) from Mail 5.0 and create a new one (only Exchange) here: "System Pref". -> "Mail, Contacs & Calendars". Account creation worked, but Mail keeps asking me for the password telling me the server rejected the pw, which is correct (as it worked with the account creation).
To be honest I'm a little disappointed, having switched from PC to Mac earlier this year and never ran into problems with a PC that took me longer than a day to fix (especially on productive systems!), i start to regret buying a mac...
Cheers

  • Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password.

    Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password.  Had to go to Outlook (ugh!) in order to work (this suck!).  Please help!

    Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

  • Mail keeps saying "server rejected password

    Hi
    Does anyone know why with increasing frequency, when I click "get mail" for my pop account Mail has started to say "server has rejected password" and asks me to re enter the password. I do so putting the correct password in and it keeps coming back with the same message.
    Then for no apparent reason it just stops doing that and allows messages to download from my pop account.

    I got this problem resolved yesterday with remote assistance from my Bell server. Apparently, my password entry in my Mail Account had been corrupted or changed, so even entering the right password continued to be rejected.
    We solved the problem by resetting my email password with my server, then entering the new password in my Account info in Mail.
    By the way, my webmail with Bell worked fine, so there was nothing wrong with my settings. That pointed to password problems.
    The question remains, though, Why did Mail mess up my password Account entry in the first place?
    Hope this helps the rest of you struggling with this really annoying problem.

  • OSX Lion Mail and Exchange Server

    My ITS person says that OSX Lion Mail "doesn't allow for exchange accounts so calendars etc don't work".
    Is this true?
    Thanks!

    Again, both of you have been really helpful.  Thank you so much.
    If you are both still on this thread, I would like to ask about solutions to a space problem:
    My primary computer is a MacBook Pro (Lion 10.7.3), where I am running Entourage 2008 (13.1.2).  Because I have limited space on my MBP for housing old emails (under "On My Computer"), I created a server from an old Mac in my office.  Then, using Entourage 2008 from my MBP, I created an additional IMAP account on the old Mac server, with subfolders for "email_2005", "sent_email_2005", "email_2006", "sent_email_2006", etc.  This is where I archive all my old email.  The nice thing about setting it up this way is that I can search any or all of these folders anytime, and from any location, directly from my Entourage 2008 app on my MBP, yet they take up no space on my MBP.
    First of all, I suspect there were easier ways to archive off emails from my MBP, but after searching and asking for weeks, this is what I settled on and it has served me well for years.
    But now, my old Mac really is getting old and I'm worried it will die at some point.  Plus I'm not thrilled about trying to maintain the server software on this old Mac.
    I also have space on a shared drive maintained by ITS, that's backed-up nightly.  This would be an ideal place to house archived mail folders.  Then I could take down the server on my old Mac and not worry about it anymore.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to set up an IMAP account on my shared drive space (I suspect it's against the ITS rules of this drive).
    Entourage 2008 does not permit me to designate where "On My Computer" folders are housed (they have to be on the same computer running the Entourage 2008 app).  If I could designate the location of "On My Computer" folders, a simple solution would have been to just locate them on the shared drive and I wouldn't have to bother with creating additional IMAP accounts housed elsewhere.
    Questions:
    1) Does Outlook 2011 or Lion Mail permit designating the location of local files (off my primary MBP) for archiving emails?
    2) Is there a simpler solution to archiving emails off my laptop, but that would also allow them to be conveniently searchable from within a mail app on my laptop?
    Sorry for the long-winded questions.
    Thank you again.

    Whats wrong with my code?
    Please help!!!!

    You're using the "imaps" protocol, but you've set properties for the "imap" protocol.  Change all the property names from mail.imap.* to mail.imaps.*.
    Also, get rid of all the socket factory properties.
    If you still can't connect, see these connection debugging tips.
    Most likely you're using the wrong host name or port number.  In almost all cases, it's better to just let JavaMail choose the correct port number.

  • TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

    My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
    I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
    Help please!

    I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
    In the meantime I have also tried:
    Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
    And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
    But please remember that:
    The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
    Then started working unexpectedly in December
    Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
    Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
    Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

  • SAP PI Connection Microsoft Exchange Server (Scenario Mail -- SAP PI -- File)

    Hi experts,
    we want to connect Microsoft Exchange Server to SAP PI. POP3 and IMAP4 is not allowed on mail server side.
    But the standard mail adapter in SAP PI  (configured as sender communication channel) only works with POP3 and IMAP4.
    Can anyone help me to solve this problem
    Thank you for your help.
    Mario

    Hi Priyadshini,
    The way that you have developed your java program can be different that the way that SAP did it. With pop3 in PI, as far as i know, it is no possible to change the read/delete properties that the mail server has by default, as Amit and Ilya mentioned you should try with the imap solution or to talk to the mail server administrators.
    Are you sure that the messages is being deleted?, have you checked other mail folders in the user account?, may be the message is being moved.
    Regards.

  • Can someone help with my Mail not working with my Microsoft Exchange server?

    I am trying to set up my Mail account. I am using the Microsoft Exchange server. I've been using Entourage, but wanted to switch to using the Mac's Mail. I used the same settings I had with Entourage, but with Mac Mail I'm getting this error: MFEWSErrorDomain error 56. From some of the other posts I saw, it seems as though no one has any answers, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

    There is no single cause of this problem and hence no single solution. There are several suggestions in this thread, if you haven't come across it, one of which might help:

  • Problem e-mailing reports after migrating to new Microsoft Exchange server

    Hi,
    I am now unable to e-mail (SMTP) reports to anyone in my company because we just migrated to a new Microsoft Exchange server.  Anyone know how to get rid of this message?

    External Destination: Mail the instance to "____________" with a subject of " %SI_NAME% %SI_STARTTIME% ".

    Error Message: server error. SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_OPEN(2): CrystalEnterprise.Smtp 
    We tried changing the gmmc-crs.reportjobserver with no luck.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You need to start with your exchange logs and possibly enable tracing on your BO webi/crystal/destination job servers (depending on the type of report and whether or not it is scheduled) to get an idea of how far down the line the SMTP connection is getting.
    You could also confirm a few key things:
    Have the SMTP destinations on your BO servers been updated with the new SMTP server info
    Can you telnet to the mail server on port 25 from the BO server -  if not, then check the firewall between the two servers and change the existing ruleset to allow connectivity to the new server
    Possibly the old mail server didn't require authentication and the new server does, you could test this through telnet?

  • Microsoft Exchange server / OSX / Mail / entourage

    Just a quick question about this, as a friend of my Dad's has been giving him grief because he doesn't ever receive receipts that emails have been received / opened / read etc.
    As far as I know Apple Mail doesn't support Microsoft Exchange Server, but Entourage does - but is it as simple as my Dad using Entourage, or does it need to on a network using Microsoft Exchange Server?
    And if so, does this mean that two, common or garden home PC users using Windows Mail or Outlook wouldn't get email receipts from each other either?

    what would the situation be with two, bog standard home PCs using XP/Vista and Outlook Express/Windows Mail - would they generate and receive receipt notifications with each other?
    Windows Mail and Outlook Express both support receipts (do a web search to find more information and instructions). But they will get receipts only if the receiving email client supports them, so the recipient must also be running one of those two applications or one of the other rare email applications that does. And receipts in Internet-standard email really doesn't mean much; it may return even if the email is selected, or, as is apparently the case with both Outlook Express and Windows Mail, the recipient can disallow sending back the receipt which if true rather defeats the purpose.
    where does the Microsoft Exchange Server come into it, which was what I thought powered these?
    It may or may not. Both Outlook Express and Windows Mail are standard email applications and work with any standard email server. If the ISP/company/organization is using Exchange and has it set up for POP and/or IMAP, you can use any email application with the server including OE or Windows Mail. But you don't get any of the features an Exchange Server provides: shared calendaring, "real" delivery/read receipts (ones the user can't disallow), etc. For those you must use Outlook.

  • Any one have idea how to read microsoft exchange server inbox mail

    I am trying to build a program which can read the mail from exchange server and i found microsoft exchange server is used MAPI protocol for mail server. I did not found anything which can guide me how to read exchange server mail and what ever i found is, i need to use connector to connect with microsoft exchange server.

    The simplest approach is to configure the Exchange server to allow IMAP access.  If you can't do that, you'll need to use one of the third party products that use MAPI to access Exchange.

  • I have a macbook pro running lion and it will not log on to a microsoft exchange server. any suggestions

    i have a macbook pro running lion and cannot log on to my microsoft exchange server.  Not a problem with my iphone and ipad are there any issues or fixes for this?

    I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
    1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
    Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
    2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
    This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
    Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support. 
    Good luck.
