Repeated password prompts with a Microsoft Exchange account

I use an 32GB iPod touch running the latest iPhone software as a PDA and music player. To help me keep organised, I use my company Wi-Fi network to connect to our Microsoft Exchange server. I think we are running the 2003 version.
From time to time, the iPod prompts me for my Exchange password. If I enter it, it reports a login failure. When our sysadmin - who is very good - looks at the Exchange Server log files, it shows a successful login attempt. He mentioned that he is also seeing occasional funny behaviour with iPhones, but that Windows Mobile devices seem to have no trouble.
Is this an iPhone software glitch, please? If so, is it likely that it will be fixed in the near future?

Right...thanks for that...but, from all that I understand, OWA offers only email OTA...not calendar nor contacts nor anything else. As I said earlier, invites that arrive in email will go onto the BB calendar since they come in as an email. But, if an appointment is, for instance, added directly to the Outlook calendar, then it will not appear on the BB calendar.
All of the behavior you describe does not match with the behavior as I understand it for a BIS/OWA connection. All of the behavior you describe does match a BES connected device (with some problems in erroneously auto-deleting calendar items).
Hence, all of the confusion...sorry I can't be more help.

I can't connect apple mail with a microsoft exchange account

Since 3 days ago my microsoft exchange account can't be connected from my apple mail

Hey there ovillamil,
If you are having issues connecting with your Microsoft Exchange account, take a look at the resources below for troubleshooting steps:
OS X Mail: Using Microsoft Exchange (EWS) accounts - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201951

Microsoft Exchange may require additional configuration in order to allow communication with certain devices. Consult with your IT manager or Administrator of your Exchange server for further questions about your Exchange setup.

Exchange 2013 SP1 users randomly prompted with "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook"

I got a call to check an issue with a Exchange Server 2013 SP1 environment recently. All server was upgraded from Exchange server 2013 CU2 to Exchange Server 2013 SP1. It was done successfully but many users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook
client with the following message:-
“The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
Although there wasn’t any changes of late in the environment there were random popups like these for multiple users. As the behaviour was not consistent and effecting the entire upgration population
Please suggest us how to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Does the issue happen to all Outlook 2013 users? Please create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
If it fails, please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.
2. Right-click the listed database > Properties.
3. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an available value. Please change the value to <not set>.
4. Click OK.
Then check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

How do I change my iCloud Account email? I keep getting prompted to enter a password associated with an old email account I no longer use. I do not have the password for it. How do I change my iCloud Account?

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

My mail won't sync with microsoft exchange account

Macbook pro 10.8.1
I have my Mail setup to sync with a Microsft Exchange Account. All syncs between my exchange account, my iPad and iPhone. However on my laptop, old messaged that I deleted ages ago are still there. I get new mail, so I know that it is syncing at some level. When I try to delete the old messages, it tells me I cannot delete them....they are like a lingering shadow that is annoying as there are about 20 of them!

Add it as an Outlook account, but still use your full email adress as a hotmail address.
Use this link if needed: ssl.apple.com/support/mail-settings-lookup/

Cannot use Microsoft Exchange account to connect to Google Apps hosted accounts.

I am the Desktop and Device support Coordinator for my Department. We use Google Apps to host our email, calendar, docs, etc. On iOS and Android devices to connect we use an exchange account.
Email: [email protected]
Server: m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Username: username
And it works just fine. However when we give the touchpad the same info, we get an error, bad username or password. This is using passwords greater than 12 characters, with spaces and special characters.
Username: username
Email: [email protected]
Server: https://m.google.com
Domain: domain.com
Any though on what we are doing wrong, or does webos exchange accounts not suppor this?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

First, changing the password and trying it again with the "Google" account type doesn't work. And it shouldn't, on every other device (Android, iOS) if we try it with the standard "Google" account it does not work.
Now on every other device we use the "Microsoft Exchange" account type and it does work. Because Google provides a Microsoft Exchange account to act as a connector to their services.
Remember, this is not a standard google account, this is an App account, and as such cannot use the standard google login. If I tried to login to any of our app service (mail.google.com, calendar.google.com, docs.google.com) from it's google site it fails. The only way we can access the account is through a special login page that ties into our single sign on (mail.example.com, cal.example.com, docs.example.com), or use the Exchange Connector.
Now if the Microsoft Exchange account connection does not work in webOs to connect to Google, great. We return our tablets, and discourage pre's. But I really like webOS and would really like to use the touch pad and keep my pre.

Hi Benjamin,
Apologies for Jeff's rather useless answer.
You can absolutely install Microsoft Exchange on a Mac Pro server to accompany OS X Server.
Head over to VMware, Parallels or Oracle and grab a virtualisation hypervisor. I personally recommend VMware ESXi.
Setup a Virtual Machine running a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013. (More information here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2012-r2/buy.aspx#fbid=f4pyYTvvgji and here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/microsoft-exchange-server-2013-business-email-email-server-try-now-FX103765014.aspx)
If you would rather not involve yourself with all the fuss involved with maintaining Microsoft Exchange, head over to Microsoft Office's website and Subscribe to Office 365 for Business. If you would rather not work with Microsoft at all, head over to Google
and setup Google Apps.
Thanks,
Will

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.

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!! Why is this so?

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!!
Why is this so? I don't have this problem prior to installing the Mountain Lion OS X

Have you tried 10.8.1? It includes fixes in this area. Usually the problem is if Active Directory is returning incorrect Exchange information in response to an Autodiscover request. In 10.8.1 you can manually edit this information.

Auto Signature - Microsoft Exchange Account

Dear Experts,
I use a Microsoft Exchange Account on Q10 - The issue is that I have to separately set auto signatures in my device. I would like to use the same auto signatures as configured in the Exchange Account, so that I don't have to separately set up in the device. Is this possible?
Regards, Ajay.

Copy and paste them from one of your emails into the Signature settings for the account. There's no way to automatically link them, to the Exchange account signature.

Adding Microsoft Exchange account to Iphone

I ahve been trying to setup a Microsoft Exchange account on mu Iphone so i can receive work emails, when i put the server details in i get the " failed" error message. I have taken the server details from my desktop outlook. Any ideas?

Has your IT department done what they HAVE to do to allow it to work. They have to have things setup on the mail server to allow such access.

HT1414 Since updating to iso6.0 I have had problems with my email exchange account syncing correctly - I keeps loosing connection with the server.

Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Using iPhone with a Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi
Is it possible to connect the iphone to a Microsoft Exchange Server to access your emails?
Thanks

Ryan Simmons,
Exchange's ActiveSync protocol which requires licensing a propietary protocol from Microsoft is what you are asking for.
IMAP is one additional port open, and can be encrypted with SSL. If they are concerned about an additional port open, VPN is an option. Then only when the VPN is active will the corporate email be available. The other argument that has been advanced on security is on Windows Mobile devices the server can ask for remote wipes of data from the phone. The iPhone only caches emails, and goes back to the server to download them again when you go to view them again. If you change the password for the account on the server, the same results occur - the email is not available on the device the next time that account is accessed from the iPhone.
This article contains an outline of the things needed on the server to support:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307313
This article outlines the VPN protocols supported by the iPhone:

Hope this helps,

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:
