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.

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 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.

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
Thanks S.Nithyanandham

Using Mac Mail with Exchange problem - Please HELP

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.

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
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 54
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 140
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 439
ORA-06512: at line 35
Thanks in adavanced

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?

KB953804 for delegatesentitemsstyle in Outlook 2003 in combination with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 not working.

KB953804 Full title "Hotfix for An e-mail message does not appear in a user's mailbox if the e-mail message was sent on behalf of the user by a delegate in Outlook 2003."
We have this working for ok Outlook 2003 SP3 in combination with Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Now for mailboxes that are moved to our new Exchange 2010 environment the hotfix stopped working. The sent items get stuck in the outbox of the delegate instead
of moving to the user in whose name the mail was sent. It does not matter if the user mailbox is on 2003 or 2010 as long as the delegated user is on Exchange 2010 SP1 it fails. We use Outlook 2003 SP3 in online mode. Does anyone know how to fix this
or maybe someone knows an alternative way to move the mails to the sent items with Exchange2010 SP1.

Hi,
I'd like to know how did you set "send on behalf",from outlook give delegation permission or from Exchange Server give "send as" right?
Please try to use get-adpermission to verify if the user has "send as" right.
Manage Send As Permissions for a Mailbox
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676368.aspx
Note: After you grant send as right, please try to restart Microsoft Information Store.
By the way, do you receive any NDR or error information when you send on behalf of others?

Can't sync IMAP inbox with Exchange Server 2003

Since Lion doesn't work with Exchange Server 2003, I set up an IMAP account in Outlook 2011 via Davmail for myself and a colleague on our laptops. This has worked for my e-mail account (syncs on multiple computers, including one running Exchange directly, and with my iPad's mail client), but not for my colleague.
For some reason, my colleague's inbox receives pushes from the server, but won't send back changes made in Outlook. Messages that have been read remain unread; deleted e-mails go into what is purportedly the server's trash in Outlook 2011, but remain in the inbox on the server. Changes made on the IMAP on the laptop also don't sync to my colleague's iPhone.
Our configuration is the same.
Any ideas? Could it be on the server side?
Thanks!

I feel your pain. I also am a lone Mac user in an entire building full of PC robots, and the IT people haven't got a clue.
I've been trying to get Mac mail working with the Exchange server here, but it's just not happening. I've managed to get Entourage working though, which is far from ideal but significantly better than the web-based version of Outlook that I'd been having to use up till now.
For entourage, then yes - the incoming and outgoing servers are the same. You may need to ask your recalcitrant IT people which port numbers to use, but give it a whirl anyway.
Best of luck,

Connecting Apple Mail to Exchange Server

I just bought a new IMac and have been trying to pop to my university email account. It is on an exchange server. I have successfully popped to this account using Outlook, my IPhone and other email programs, but when I try to set up Mail (version 2.1.1), it cannot connect at the point where it says "Checking connection to POP server"....it always bombs out with a mesage that says "The POP server xxxx is not responding"
Given that I'm able to connect with other Mac products (IPhone) as well as non Mac products, this seems like some probelem specific to the OS system. Any suggestions on how to connect would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allen

I'm have an exchange account at a university which works ok. When setting up the account with the mail wizard, I choose exchange from the menu instead of POP. I've also read where users have chosen IMAP.
I'm not familiar with the iphone setup so I can't comment about why iphone POP would work with exchange server.
I know I had to use the university web site and follow their setup info for exchange server. They didn't have an apple version so I just applied what they suggested the best I could.

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!

Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:
