Setting up Exchange Account with Mail

Hello all.
Really want to start getting my work e-mail without loggin in via OWA.
I can't however get past the Incoming Mail Server section in the account setup. I'm not sure what to put into the *Incoming Mail Server* and *Outlook Web Acess Server* Boxes.
I access the outlook web acess via http://server.companyname.com/exchange
I've tried lots of combinations but just get the ' Exchanger server ..com is not responding check etc.."
What format should it be?
Thanks

Apple Mail is supposed to access the Exchange server via OWA. I do have Entourage loaded, and it works fine. I also have Evolution running on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop which also uses the Exchange OWA to pickup my work e-mail.
For the life of me, I cannot get Apple Mail to pickup my e-mail on the Exchange server. I am sure it's just a configuration issue since both Entourage and Evolution work.

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Im trying to send out a word doc and it tells me I need to set up an account with enterage. I already have my email set up with regular mail? How can I send it out through my email that is active?

Im trying to send out a word document via email. It tells me it cannot send because I have not yet set up an account with enterage. My email is active already with Apple regular mail program. How can I send it out through reg mail?

Save the Word document. Create your email in your normal mail application (Mail?), click on the add attachment icon (the paperclip if you are using Mail). Navigate to where you saved the Word file and select it. It should now appear as an attachment in your email. If you are sending it to a PC user and you are using Mail make sure 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in the edit menu. And if you don't want the attachment to display inline within the body of the email Control+Click on it and select 'view as icon'.

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.

Completely delete Exchange account from Mail client on Mac

I'm having a problem with a several e-mail messages in my Mail client. These messages seem "stuck" in that whenever I try to delete these messages, I get an error message in Mail that says:
An error occurred while moving messages to mailbox “Trash — Exchange”.
I named the account Exchange. These messages are NOT on my Exchange mail server anymore - I also access my mail from an Outlook client as well and these "stuck" messages do not appear in Outlook which is pulling directly from Exchange.
My first attempt to resolve was to delete the account from the Mail client and set it up again. All of the folders and e-mail messages re-appeared almost instantly so it obviously didn't go out to the Exchange server and pull down over 100K e-mail messages in 30 seconds.
Then I spoke to AppleCare. They directed me to the Library to delete a subfolder in the Mail folder that appeared to contain the messages. When I emptied the Trash, it appeared that the 100K messages were being deleted. I went to Mail to setup the account again. Again, the messages reappeared quickly as before and the problem messages were still there as if they never were deleted.
So now I'm looking for a way to completely the Exchange account and all of its local data from Mail. I want the Mail client to start from scratch and go out to the Exchange server to get the data like the account had never been setup on this Mac before. I'd also opt for a fresh install of Mail but I have a MBA 11 so I don't have OS media or a DVD drive.
Somewhere Mail is clealry caching info on that account. It's apparent when I've deleted the account and then re-opened Mail to set it back up the first time. Whenever the dialog box appears, it remembers my Exchange e-mail account information in the field so it's obviously pulling that information from somewhere locally on the Mac, not from the server.

As you say, removing the Exchange account on Mail really doesn't delete it. It's caching something because of how quickly it finds the folders etc. if you add the account again.
I was having a lot of very strange problems with Mail/Contacts/Calendar and certainly a new user I set up from scratch worked with Mail etc. straight away. I didn't test it for days but within seconds it pulled down all the correct emails and the number of unread tallied with my iPhone which was one of the annoying problems I was having.
One of the things I read elsewhere is how useful doing a Mailbox/Rebuild from within Mail is. I just tried it now on my existing user name and it certainly seems to have helped. It immediately refreshed the Inbox and had it accurate. However, despite having it set to "1 min checking for new mail" after several mins it seems to have hung again and isn't refreshing.
Mail for OSX has caused me a million more problems that for iOS which just works every time. I don't see how Apple can make it work so smoothly on iOS and give loads of problems on OSX.
Have you tried the Mailbox/Rebuild?

How do you access more than one email account with Mail

I have multiple email accounts, and have already set up my pop, and smtp servers. But I cannot figure out how to access/ login into the other account. I have had one account setup for a while now. I just setup another account, but can only access the original account. I've looked under 'preferences' I can see that the new account has been created, but how do I log in to it? Can someone please help?
Thanx,
Mike Dunn

Hello Mike.
You can access multiple accounts and account types with the Mail.app with one exception.
You can access multiple accounts with Mail by the same provider (same account type and shares the same incoming mail server) and each account can have the same password as long as they are true accounts which means each email address or account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
An additional email address or account by the same provider that shares the same user name and password as the primary account is really an alias account and cannot be accessed as a separate account with Mail.
An alias account or address to a primary account can be accessed with the primary account by adding the email address for the alias to the email address field separated by a comma under the Account Information tab for the primary account's preferences.
All messages addressed to the alias email address will be received and delivered to the Inbox mailbox for the primary account.

Restore exchange account with time machine

Hello,
Using Mail under Maverick, when making a rules and apply it, this rules doesn't works like I expect, and suppress about 400 hundred mails in my inbox (account exchange 365).
I go to TimeMachine to restore the Inbox like 30 minutes before. I see all the losted mails, but when I clik on Restore, a message say something like "restoring box Outlook 365"... and nothing... My inbox stay empty !
In fact, if it's not possible to restore an Mail Exchange Account with Time Machine, it should send me an alert, or propose to restore the mails to a temporary local box.
Could you help me ?
Thanks for your attention and Best regards
Laurent

Sorry,
I just found the alert of your reply in the spam folder !
Yes, I have a suggestion. Im not in front of the Mac where I have had the problem, but I remember that at the bottom of the "On my Mac" mail folders, there is a new folder created by Time Machine. In this folder, the restored send and received mailbox !
Hoppe it will help you.
Best regards,
Laurent

I set my Exchange account up and it won't connect to any of the other apps

I reccently set up my exchange email account on my laptop and I can get and send emails from the account, but the laptop won't let me connect the exchange account with my calender, contacts, reminders, notes, safari, facetime, or any of the other apps on my laptop. It always asks me for my password and when I put it in it still says it can't connect to the exchange account. Why won't it let me connect my exchange account to my laptop apps?

When ever I try and login to my exchange account on Safari it says it can't connect to the account to the account and to call the administrator, but then i tried tologin again and it worked. Anyway I then tried my contacts and it is still not working.

Setting up hotmail plus with mail

Hi there.
I know this has been covered many time before but I've searched and tried and I still can't get it set up.
I'm trying to set up my hotmail plus account with mail. It seems very straight forward so I'll explain what I've done so far...
I first downloaded and installed the plugin httpmailtiger_universal1.49.
then clicked on add new account in mail preferences.
in general information pane...
Account Type: POP
Account Description: Windows Live Hotmail
Email address: <Edited by Moderator>
Then hit continue...
Incoming Mail Server: hotmail.com
User Name: adamhenshaw89
Password: *****
Then it comes up
Checking connection to POP server "hotmail.com"
Stays on this for a good while. Then...
The IMAP server “hotmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
Now my ISP is eircom so should I be inputting some info from them?
Sorry if I sound like a moron!
Many thanks if anyone can help.
Adam

Hi Adam;
WARNING I just received word from the IBM CERT Team that the security for Microsoft Live has been breached. Their recommendation is to have nothing to do with it until Microsoft is able to redo the security. At the present time the hackers are to defeat the Microsoft Live security one third of the time.

TS3276 Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer.

Is there a way to sync POP subfolders and download them for backup in Mail on my MBP? I tried syncing the account with Mail and only the Inbox downloads onto my computer. I have Googled enough to find out that the answer is no, but no official answer or recent answer and I am hopeful that there has been a change.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Multiple accounts with Mail

I am having serious trouble trying to set up several different accounts with Mail. I have arranged with my service provider to send all incoming mail from subsidiary addresses to one mailbox, but I want to be able to send from these different addresses. After setting up a first Mail account, for the address to which all incoming mail arrives, I tried to set up further accounts. These accounts all share incoming and outgoing mail servers with the primary account, but for some reason, Mail refuses to accept this, returning the error message “Trying to log in this POP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct”, even though they are indeed correct. The other error message returned is “An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made”.
Further confusing the issue, if I try to edit the SMTP server list, any new server name I input is immediately branded “offline”, with no apparent option to bring it online. Finally, demands that I re-type passwords ignore the fact that I have just done so (correctly)...
The impression I am getting is that either Mail cannot be connected to more than one POP server, and/or that two accounts cannot share the same incoming and outgoing mail servers. Is either of these correct? What is particularly confusing is that Microsoft Outlook had none of these problems with multiple accounts, and happily allowed different accounts to share servers. Is this a built-in limitation of Mail, and should I be looking elsewhere for a solution?

Extensive search across this forum and elsewhere has sadly convinced me that Mac Mail is a badly designed, buggy and misconceived abortion. As a result, I have decided that life is too short to struggle with poor software, and have moved to using Postbox. The best $10 I ever spent in my life...

HT4436 What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

Here are three different methods >
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
This article > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
suggests using contacts groups.
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps. Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

Setting the standard account in Mail

I would like to set my standard account in Mail.
- I have two IMAP accounts.
- When I click Inbox, and thus view the joint inbox of the two, and click new mail, it automatically chooses an account to send from.
- In the same way, it chooses an account to send from whenever i'm not in the account specific inbox.
It does not choose the account I want -- and I cannot find out where to change it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
Select the account in the dropdown labeled "Send new mail from:"
It should currently say "Account of last viewed mailbox"

Is this happening when you try to receive mail, or send mail? When you create the account, does it verify? You should see a message that it is verifying, and if it does.

If you can't add it automatically, you probably need some help from your company's helpdesk. It would be best to contact them because they may have some settings that are specific to their environment.
