Recommend a hosted exchange service?

I am looking for a cheap hosted exchange account for 1 email address. I want it to be compatible with Entourage 2008, Outlook 2007, and my iPhone 3G. Has anyone achieved this?
Right now I use 1and1, but Entourage gives me sync errors.

Try Intermedia.net I have been using them forever and they are the best worldwide. But you will still have sync problems because Apple has screwed up AGAIN.....just read thru the gazillion of threads in this forum and you will understand that this new Version 2 and the new 3G phones are no were near to the status of having launched them as nothing works right yet. And believe me its not the fault of third party providers of Exchange services. These providers have been doing a great job for years with PocketPCs and even the iPhone prior to the version2 update. But it will take Apple some time to fix this royal mess.

  • Syncing hosted exchange calendar to iPod Touch over USB won't update-

    Wanted to post some helpful advice for anyone that may experience this issue.
    If you use a hosted exchange service, and are stuck syncing your calendars and contacts to an ipod touch or iphone over USB, realize that iTunes will only sync the default calendars and contacts over USB, not shared folders. Itunes will give you the option to designate which calendar syncs, but the names in iTunes won't match what is named in outlook.
    Have a difficult client who suffers from a mixture of tech hoarding, non-linear thinking, unwillingness to change behavior, tech anxiety, and ego. So there has been a lot of money and time spent to get him tools that help organize his life, and allow me to schedule things for him. I have him on a hosted exchange account so that I can have access to his most up to date appointments and contacts when he travels internationally (He won't leave AOL because he can save emails directly as Word files). His Palm treo (which was only being used as a PDA) was beginning to fail, so I recommended an iPod touch as a temporary, low-cost PDA alternative. He travels internationally in 6-8 month chunks, since it didn't make sense to commit to a superphone. He did it under condition that it would sync over USB, since he is in areas without wifi very often. I checked it on my iphone (since I'm synced to his exchange account), and it worked. So I gave the go ahead.
    After some issues with changing out his computers while in Europe, he contacts me with issues that his calendar and contact options were not updating to the most recent information in outlook after syncing with USB. After a support call, I was told to restore the phone, so that everything was erased and would be reloaded with outlook info. After we did that, my client informed me that contacts were updating, but the calendar was missing, except for two events that I had accidently added to it from my iPhone. I called support, who took the issue to tier 2, and was outright told not to talk to me and referred me to my hosted exchange company. I mentioned that they would be unable to help me with why iTunes wasn't updating a calendar in Outlook. He apologized but said that Tier 2 wouldn't take the call, and because it was exchange they wouldn't help. This was with my client on the line in a skype conference, who became maddeningly upset, as he would need to find another PDA while in Europe. Since, my client has sworn off Apple, which I was beginning to lean him towards, due to it's robust OS and backup capabilities, as well as simplicity.
    But that's neither here nor there. I noticed that the two events that I had accidently added were on the default outlook calendar, named (oddly enough) "Calendar". Due to issues with me when I setup exchange when we first got it, I had to tell him to use a shared calendar called "Calendar-New" so that him and I could view and edit his appointments from different machines. I was connected to my clients computer over VNC, so I saw that under the info tab in iTunes, where I had checked "Sync with outlook" that there was a second option to sync only certain calendars, and three were listed, ""Calendar", "Calendar-", and "Calendar-1". I asked the tier 1 rep to check to see what these meant, I may be able to redirect iTunes to the right calendar. He was unwilling to, as Tier 2 had yelled at him.
    With that, we hung up, and, once I confirmed that his changes to Calendar could be seen on my end, and changes I made could be seen on his end, and that these events showed up on the ipod after he synced it, I realized that iTunes defaults to the default calendar in outlook. Yay!. I went ahead and dragged and dropped all of the events from Calendar-New to Calendar, and now the problem is fixed.
    I really wish someone at apple support would have been willing to at least walk through this with me, or at least looked into how the sync works, Ashley in tier 2, shame on you for hanging up on my tier 1 rep! You lost a customer who buys a brand new computer every year. Reminds me of this story

    Hello Snagglebits2
    I am an Solutions Engineer for a hosted exchange provider, and that is some good information.
    I have not tested this out, but i will. I do remember when i had my ipod touch, that it would sync perfectly over WiFi, but i do not know if i ever tested this by USB.
    You should also make sure your customer is on a hosted exchange service that uses Akami.

  • Error recovery server, message: Service 'Microsoft Exchange Service Host (MSExchangeServiceHost)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service MSExchangeServiceHost on computer

    I have issue with second exchange server while trying to restore recovery mode. If we do ADIEDIT as per your previous article will that going to cause issue to the existing Exchange Server ?

    Hi Najeeb,
    I'm not sure if doing some actions via ADSI Edit can affect the existing Exchange server.
    I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting.
    1. Please use the get-service msexch* | set-service -startuptype automatic cmdlet to set the service state to automatic for all the Exchange services.
    2. Start the Microsoft Exchange Service Host service and other required services.
    What's more, I would like to verify if you install Forefront Protection for Exchange Server, if yes, please disable it and check the result.
    Hope my clarification is helpful.
    If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.

  • MobileMe Alternatives- Hosted Exchange

    Can someone recommend me a company that will support iPhone 3G that will host my domain and offer hosted exchange?

    i have used mail2web.com hosted exchange's free account - they have a service to use your own email return/domain but i have not tried it.
    They worked fine with WM5 and WM6, so it should work fine with iPhone. You get web mail for free too, and with a paid service you get Outlook integration.

  • Need hosted mail service for managing my 60 email accounts in one place.

    I have 60 mail accounts in my email client on personal computer (such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.). I can retrieve mails from this accounts and send mails using their own SMTPs.
    Now I need do the same on server hosted email service. Is it possible with Microsoft Exchange 2013? Someone told me that this feature was removed in Microsoft Exchange 2013. Is it true?
    Also, hosted Office365 Outlook and Microsoft’s Exchanged Hosted service such as “Microsoft Exchange Online“ can add only 5 mail accounts (see here, I mean this feature https://tinyurl.com/lcs9aqg ).
    So, what to do? Is there any resolution?
    Or should I search other mail server hosting than Microsoft Exchange? Which one?

  • Does SBS not host sufficient services to provide 'Enhanced presence Privacy' to users homed on that server?

    Hello All,
    I have a question around Enhanced Presence Privacy mode. I understand from the Technet documentation that EPP can only be enabled Globally, at the Site Level or at the User Server Service level. Due to the fact that managing client-side
    EPP settings is not exposed in the Lync Control Panel or Shell the recommendation for enabling EPP for a subset of users is to have a separate pool for those users. 
    I’m working with a customer who needs to deploy EPP for a subset of their users but considering that we’re already planning to deploy a centralised enterprise pool of 4 front end servers they are reticent to deploy another enterprise pool
    to offer their EPP enabled users resiliency. Given that pool pairing only works with enterprise edition to enterprise edition or standard edition to standard edition I came up with the idea of deploying a Survivable Branch Server for the EPP enabled users
    assuming that this new site would provide a target for EPP policies for those users. However, in testing this idea in the lab I’ve found that although I can create a site level policy for the SBS site the users homed on the SBS do not pick up the policy -
    EPP does not work and in the Lync client Status settings the same options are offered that would be offered if EPP was not enabled.
    Questions:
    Is this expected behaviour? I.e. Does an SBS not host sufficient services to provide EPP to users homed on that server, even though it’s technically another site?
    What is meant by the documentation when it talks about assigning the policy to the “User Server Service”? I assume there is only 1 of these services per pool?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I didn’t find any documents about the SBS limitation to provide EPP mode.
    Please try to set a user policy to test if EPP mode works for the branch site users.

  • Influxis to Host Collaboration Service

    Dear LCCS Customer,
    I’m pleased to announce Adobe and its partner Influxis have reached an agreement resulting in a hosted collaboration service offering based on Adobe’s LiveCycle Collaboration Service (LCCS) code. The new service will be known as Influxis Collaboration Service and is targeted to be up and running by early November, 2012. Influxis has been a trusted Adobe partner for 6 years, starting as a Flash Media Service hosting company and is now a leading interactive media delivery provider specializing in video solutions. Learn more about Influxis at http://ics.influxis.com/.
    Influxis Collaboration Service will be built to support the same framework and offer the same feature set currently available via LCCS. Influxis welcomes all Adobe LCCS customers to migrate to Influxis Collboration Service. Initial services will include dedicated servers for enterprise customers and others interested in having their own personal server environment. Shared server hosting will soon follow and be in place by December 2012.
    In order to minimize impact and in an attempt to make the transition from Adobe to Influxis as seamless as possible, Adobe will continue to run its LCCS service in parallel until December 31, 2012. During this time, Adobe will also provide Influxis with ramp-up support as needed.
    Transition planning is well underway. Influxis has already begun working with Adobe LCCS customers to exchange ideas on how best to achieve a successful transition. If you are interested in talking to Influxis about their service offering please contact Wesley Daggett at 661-775-3936 or via e-mail [email protected]. In the coming weeks Adobe and Influxis will provide additional detail about the specific transition plans on the LCCS Forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/lccs.
    Adobe and Influxis are excited about this new opportunity and will work together to ensure a successful transition for customers who choose to make the move from LCCS to Influxis Collaboration Service.
    Regards,
    Jeff Stanier
    Group Product Manager - LiveCycle

    Jeff,
    Is there anyway that I can get a LCCS account to develop with whilst there is this limbo period before  Influxis comes online with their paid service?
    I am literally just trying to get the skeleton working while waiting.
    Any help or insights from the community as well are welcome! :-)

  • Can I migrate users from a hosted Exchange 2010 to Office 365 Enterprise E1 without the need of third party software?

    I am hoping I am posting to the correct forum.  We are currently using a hosted Exchange 2010 service through Intermedia and due to continuing issues with them and the pricing, we are getting ready to migrate to Microsoft’s Office 365 Enterprise
    E1 platform.  My question is this, besides the fact that we will need to set up ADFS for SSO, will I be able to migrate our existing mailboxes from Intermedia to Office 365 without having to purchase additional software? 
    The current configuration we have with Intermedia allows for us to use OWA and our OST files for our current users are cached locally on the workstations. 
    We also do not have any public folders in use.  I have searched the web, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer or steps that I should take to prepare for this type of migration. 
    Any suggestions on this matter would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    It looks as I should be able to from reading that article.  Not sure why the company that want to set this all up for me wanted $12,000 for something I can do with 6 steps.
    Thank you

  • Exchange services not starting

    Hi everyone, I had a power failure , After power failure i am not able to start Microsoft Exchange IMAP4, Microsoft Exchange Information Store, Microsoft Exchange POP3 services,Microsoft Exchange Service Host services, 
    I am  using SP2 , can i upgrade to SP3 ?

    Hi   Risingflight
    Thank you for your question.
    You can reply Ed’s question and you can restart your exchange server.
    Whether you have to try to following steps:
    Firstly, you can start domain controller then you can start exchange server. You can try to manual start those services and modify startup type to “automatic”. Then you can restart your exchange server.
    You can use the following command to check the exchange services by using exchange powershell:
    Test-ServiceHealth “servicernsname”
    You can refer to the following link:

    If there are any questions, please let me know.

    DC>ADUC>Domain.com>users
    2. Create another distribution group to have a test.
     I refer to the following article to create a new distribution group, and it works well:

  • Migration exchange 2010 to hosted exchange 2013

    Hello,
    Tried to search for a good solution for what I need but always redirected to places of office365.
    I will explain what i need and maybe you could find me a good solution.
    I have several offices that i give IT support. Some of them with exchange 2003 and some with 2007-2010.
    I want to migrate their servers to my new hosted exchange 2013 (multi-tenancy).
    Is there a way to do CutOver migration?
    What are my options?
    P.s. All offices are working with calendars so PSTing their mailboxes is out of the question.
    Hope you understand what i wanted to do.
    Thanks for the help.
    Lior.

    For what you're planning, a cutover migration would be best.  For that I would recommend a tool like Migrationwiz (http://www.migrationwiz.com).  You can start the migration in advance, get the data copied
    and then do a final incremental move on the cutover date.  In addition to the mailbox move, you will want to synchronize the directories and ensure that the legacyExchangeDN property of the source mailboxes appear as proxy addresses of type
    X500 on the target mailboxes or else they won't be able to reply to old mail or use Outlook contacts or cached addresses.  I don't recall whether MigrationWiz can take care of that for you or not.

  • Migrating from Shared/Hosted Exchange 2010 to Onsite Exchange 2013

    Hi All,
    Hoping for some advice regarding a migration project I'm due to run with. A client has their current email data with a 3rd party hosted Exchange platform, this is a completely separate platform from their onsite AD infrastructure.
    Platform wise it is built on Exchange 2010 that only really allows OWA/Outlook Anywhere/ActiveSync access. We'd like to migrate this platform to a more dedicated onsite Exchange 2013 platform.
    Any software tools or advice appreciated, we're hoping to avoid exporting all the content to PST and manually importing but if this is the only way then fair enough. If there are utilities that may allow mailbox backfilling to suck the data out and in to
    the new mailboxes in 2013 that would be awesome.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to migrate mailboxes from the other forest to your forest.
    I recommend you refer to the following article to achieve migration:
