Setting up two calendars, Microsoft Exchange and MobileMe

I tried searching the forum and could not find the instructions. If they are there, please do post the link because it means I used the wrong search terms.
I keep hearing that you can have both a Microsoft Exchange calendar and MobileMe calendar on the iPhone. So I finally signed up to get my Microsoft Exchange activated at work. In iCal, I do have about 14 calendars (which I essentially use as categories) that are all synced to my iPhone through MobileMe. The instructions to setup the connection to the Exchange server, however, are very clear that once I activate the Exchange calendar, it will delete all the contacts and calendar entries currently on my iPhone. Since all my personal stuff is synced through MobileMe, I am wary of activating the calendar without step-by-step instructions about how to get both calendars on my iPhone, especially if syncing might then delete from MobileMe and my desktop.
Any help or links to instructions elsewhere that I missed is appreciated.

After enabling syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, if you turn Contacts and Calendar events off for over the air syncing, the contacts and calendar events downloaded from and being kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book and calendars will be erased from your iPhone, but this does not touch your MobileMe online address book and calendars. The same when deleting a MobileMe account from an iPhone.
When you first enabled syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, you should have been provided the same warning message. This deletes all contacts and calendar events created and stored locally with the iPhone and/or that were being synced direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process.
Are you still syncing contacts and calendar events direct with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes? Have you done this since turning Contacts and Calendar events on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone?

Send/receive hang on "Offline address book Connecting to Microsoft Exchange" and will never finish?

When I hit send/receive on a few clients the process will hang on "Offline address book Connecting to Microsoft Exchange" and will never finish? These same user can long on the OWA and send/receive just fine. The problem is that while it's hanging it can't go out and look for new email. Any thoughts?

I had similar problem.
This actually arose due to the fact I had mistakenly set the Default web Site directory with a HTTP redirect which applied to all subfolders including OAB.
I did then rectify this by going into individual subfolders and unchecking Http Redirect from each sub folder, however unknowingly it created/modified a webconfig file under the OAB virtual directory. (you can explore it to see the
file there)
If you test your OAB url (for people with the issue), which is : http(s)://servername/oab/[code]/oab.xml you will get Error 500.
Each time Outlook 2007 was trying to connect to get OAB, it was trying to read that webconfig file.
I fixed this by changing the permissions on that webconfig file to allow everyone and the above error was done, and also my Outlook 2007 was downloading the OAB again!
Now if the above fix did not fix your problem, you can temporarily effectively disable OAB by unticking Web Distribution of OAB and Public Folder Distribution in EMC under Organisation/Mailbox/Offline Address Book. Users will be able to do a
send/reiceve without any errors/issues. However, if a new contact/user is added to your AD with exchange attributes, the clients will not be able to see this. I'm guessing if cached mode was also not used, issues would also occur if they tried using the GAL.
acidack, you are a lifesaver.
I looked at the other webconfig files in the internet directories and noticed they all had 'Authenticated Users' with read permissions while the OAB one did not. Adding this group with read permissions solved the problem; Outlook 2007
users are no longer frozen on the 'Offline address book connecting to Microsoft Exchange" message.
What caused this? I'm not sure. I was messing with the web settings trying to redirect people to OWA. Something I did must have caused this file to be re-created without the needed permissions.
Acidack and AndrewB, You are both live savers. After all these years, your solution to this problem is still spot on.

Microsoft Exchange and Outlook "requesting data.. error message.

I have a customer experiencing problems with their Microsoft Exchange and Outlook clients running across a newly installed ATM WAN. I have a 3 MB IMA circuit at the host as well as the remote. On a frequest basis the clients will get the requesting data from Exchange server error message. Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?

Exchange server was original designed as a LAN application, thus the RPC protocol. Since you are running across a slow WAN (latency is not LAN like) you can only adjust/eliminate the message via the Registry, or better yet a Group Policy;
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;293650
The messages become more prevalent with large number of users, slow hardware, and with Outlook 2003. The move to RPC over HTTP (2003 Exchange and Outlook 2003) might reduce chatter.

IPad, Microsoft Exchange, and Kaplan

I recently started working for Kaplan as an Instructor and I want to configure my iPad to pick up emails from Kaplan. Kaplan uses Gmail as their "server". I contacted Kaplan and they sent me these instructions:
On IPad login to https://www.google.com/accounts/unlockcaptcha in Safari with the Username and Password
Click "Continue".
Now follow the below steps within 10 minutes in your IPad
Click Settings
Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Click Exchange ActiveSync
Turn the sliders to the off position for Mail, Contacts and Calendars
Click Done
Click Add Account
Click Microsoft Exchange
On the Setup Screen:
Email – enter your full Kaplan email address ([email protected])
Domain – Leave Blank
Username – enter your full Kaplan email address ([email protected])
Password – Enter your network/email password
Description – Type Kaplan Gmail
Click Next
Server – M.GOOGLE.COM
Click Next
Click Save
Two issues, I don't see any option for "Exchange ActiveSync". And two, after completing the tasks above, I keep getting a message saying password incorrect. I type in the correct password yet it still says it is incorrect. Kaplan says its nothing on their end that is wrong. Help!

M.Google.com doesn't look right for the server. Should simply be Google.com.
You might also try downloading Google's mail app for the iPad.

Error While setting up Gmail Via Microsoft Exchange

Hi everybody, I'm Using an Iphone 3gs in iOS 6.
I Wanted to setup Gmail with Push, so i set up the account via Microsoft exchange. But after the setup is complete,
I cant access the mails. Whenever i open the Mail app, its showing "Cannot get Mail: Connection to the server failed"
Need Help with this as Gmail Push would be of great use to me.
Anyhelp would be appreciated, Thank you.

Google are stopping (maybe have stopped already) Exchange support for their email accounts. If you want "push" use the free Gmail app.

Multiple calendars without exchange or mobileme

I don't have access to an exchange server. And after using mobileme for a while, I don't think it's work $99 just to be able to have more than one calendar, which is all I'm using it for.
Is it possible to sync more than one calendar with the iPhone? I have Outlook 2007

Yes. Just create multiple calendars in Outlook and they will sync

Exchange and MobileMe on Same Phone

I've read several topics on here and I'm confused and it sounds like some people are making it work and some are not.
I have an iPhone 3G with the updated software, a mobile me account for home (e-mail, address book, and iCal on the mac that syncs to the iPhone automatically). I also have an exchange server at work.
I can successfully set up both e-mail accounts on the phone and work back and forth with little problems (there's still some lag with mobile me messages deleted on the phone showing up later but I can live with that)
Address book - I only want to have my home mobile me address book on my phone and that's working fine too.
Problem is when I add the exchange calendar I am unable to add new entries to the iCal sync stream (if I add it to the phone it gets deleted at the next sync, if I add it to the computer at home it never shows up on the iphone.
It sounds like some users have it working but no one is real clear on how. I'd rather not involve other in between things (google, third party paid apples, etc).
I understand that my calendars will still be seperate and I can not merge entries - that's fine. I understand I can not download my exchange dates into iCal at home- that's fine too. I just want to be able to use the phone to view/schedule events on exchange (and have them show up on exchange at work) and use the phone to schedule/view ical events and see those at home and on the phone.
There should be an easy solution?

I'm not sure if we are having the same problem but maybe we can put our heads together. I have Mobile me. I just started working at a company that allowed me to sync company Email with my iphone using exchange. It would not work until I made the mobile me inactive. I can not use mobile me and exchange at the same time. Is this the same problem you are having?

Calendar: Microsoft Exchange badge on Invitations

We have an executive in our company where their admin solely administers their Calendar via Outlook. The exec has been inadvertantly managing/accepting/declining/etc meetings via the Invitations box on the iPhone Calendar when only the admin should. They do not recieve the notifications via their Outlook client per an Exchange setup or rule, but they still see the meeting requests via a red badge in the iPhone Calendar. I've turned off calendar audio alerts and the badge notifier on Calendar so that attention is not brought to it. Is there a way to turn the badge off on notification or any other suggestions?
Exchange 2010
iOS: 6.0.1
iPhone 4S
Here is a flow(from left to right).
1. New meeting invite is recieved, admin has not accepted yet... Invitations shows a badge(1). If opened, the reply options offered are Mabey, Accept, Decline.
2. AFTER the admin accepts/manages the meeting invite there is still a badge(1) on Invitations. However, the dialog prompt of Mabey, Accept, Decline, changes to OK.
The badge under Invitations will not go away until OK is selected. That tells me that Exchange is properly communicating the status of the invite so I would have to think that the knob/setting to turn would be on the iOS side. Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you actually adding your contacts to the correct address book on the phone?
Go into Contacts and tap the 'Groups' button in the upper left. Look at the groups that are there and see which one your contacts are in. If you've set it to sync with Hotmail, and the contacts are not being stored in hotmail, then they won't sync there...

Microsoft exchange and BlackBerry mail

I have recently started at a new company, we use Microsoft Exchange, my company mailbox has been working fine up until the point at which I activated the account on my BlackBerry. The problem is that messages sent to my microsoft mail box are no longer reaching the desktop mailbox but seem to be re-routed to my phone. (there is no duplication)
Internal mails between colleges and I reach my desktop mailbox but not my phone....
Our network administrator is lacking knowledge in this field, is there any quick fix?
I have also tried deleting my account off my BlackBerry, the mails seem to sit somewhere (not going to my desktop mailbox) until I reactivate my account on my BlackBerry, then they doenload to the phone mailbox.
Pleae help!

Update:
after two weeks of boggling, it seems that this combination works:
- install MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
- remove MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
- install S60PR2_BlackBerry(6.28.1)_2.SISX first
- install MailForExchange(2.7.0)_S60_3_0.SISX
But this effectivly kills Blackberry as you only get a "RimAv" icon in the menu

Microsoft Exchange and email accounts

We are looking to purchase 2 iPhones but have been told that they do not work/talk to/sync with Microsoft Exchange, which, according to IT means "no direct interface with our email". Is this right? It is absolutely imperative these phones sync with our Outlook email, calendar, and contacts on the PC's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it will support exchange email via IMAP but it does not purge your deleted items so I had to write an app to do this for my situation. It will only sync the contacts and your calender through outlook via the USB cable and not over the air. By no means is it a blackberry but an excellent media device, real web browsing, and I like the way email is presented. Keyboard takes a little to get used to...

Calendar Request: Exchange to MobileMe

Hi,
I'm trying to send calendar meeting requests to a mobile me account but the email on the iphone simply comes up as ics attachments with no way to open them.
Has this chestnut of a problem been solved?
Many thanks in advance for any help...

So they make it compatible with Exchange, then its not compatible with MobileMe, Outlook 2002, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes, TBird and a whole range of others.
Not so daft actually - adopting a proprietary Microsoft format as a standard is rarely a good thing.
Actually its already highly compatible for 99.9% of users who keep two or three telephone numbers. More than that per user is unusual.

How to send email to a SMTP server over a secure channel using STARTTLS setting of a send connector (Exchange and SMTP server are in the same domain)

I’m trying to send email using exchange send connector STARTTLS setting to the SMTP server. I have read multiple documents on configuring TLS for send connector, but they talks about outbound connections to internet facing servers. My Exchange 2013 and SMTP
server is in the same domain (let’s say A.com) and I’m creating dummy domains on my SMTP server (e.g.
[email protected],
[email protected] ) and their respective send connectors on the exchange server end. In the smart host section added the IP address of the SMTP server and in the scoping section added the SMTP domain address (e.g. dummy1.local ). In the FQDN field, added
the FQDN of the exchange server 2013 which certificate is enabled with SMTP service.
Could you tell me a step by step procedure, where I’m going wrong or any extra settings needs to added?
Presently, it is giving me an error that 530 5.5.1 TLS encrypted connection is required.
Note: I’ve created the Microsoft CA certificates for the SMTP and exchange servers and imported them in the personal certificate container. In which, the exchange certificate is created with FQDN name of the server and enabled for the SMTP service.
I’m using OPENSSL certificate for making the SMTP server TLS enabled. (let me know, if I need to import the OPENSSL certificate anywhere on the exchange end)?
Thanks!

-IgnoreSTARTTLS is set to false on the send connector properties.
I'm trying to established a HTTP over TLS connection. I'm not using mutual TLS between these two server.

Push for both Exchange and MobileMe accounts

I have 2 accounts set up on my iPhone 3G:
1. MobileMe
2. Exchange via VPN
Exchange is my main account that is syncing mail/calendar/accounts
MobileMe is syncing only mail and bookmarks
When I got the iPhone i had the impression that push for both accounts worked perfectly.
But yesterday I noticed that mail does not arrive to either of them until I actually open Mail app on the iPhone and it starts checking it manually.
I checked push settings on the iPhone.
Out of 3 options for Push under Advanced Tab in the Push settings for Exchange server I have Push selected.
MobileMe tab in Advanced Tab in Push settings has only Fetch and Manually options (no Push option there). So I have Fetch selected.
General Push setting is on.
My default account is MobileMe (in Mail settings)
Any ideas why Push is not working? I would think it could be Apple's problem but my Exchange push is not working either.

I have the same set up as you and i am getting both accounts mail almost instantly after i send a test message to each of them...Although i'm not using a VPN -- my Exchange supports direct connection via the ActiveSync connection.
Mobile me was a bit sketchy at times, but over the last few days it's been great -- it good to see Apple worked things out.
As for the Exchange Push mail:
There is a small tweak you may need to do while at work and on an internal wi-fi network to get your Exchange mail faster:
This worked for me....

Exchange and MobileMe?

Hi,
I have a new iPhone 3G. I have Mobile Me and a Macbook Pro at home, but we use Exchange/Outlook at work.
I plan to use Exchange/Active Sync to wirelessly keep my work calendar and iPhone calendar in sync. I'll use my MacBook to sync iTunes songs, photos and so on.
Can I also use Mobile Me to keep my iPhone calendar synced with iCal on my laptop? Will Mobile Me wirelessly sync changes to my iCal calendar from the laptop to the phone, so that those changes also show up in my Outlook calendar at the office?
Hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that the person you're seeking help from doesn't have experience with synching the two cloud servers...
As Allan quipped from the manual and I've posted before, one can sync to one cloud MM account and one cloud Exchange account. I've set up my device to do it, and the combination of the two work as expected.
There's no overwriting of contacts or calendars by attempting to sync in this fashion; the reference is for people that aren't synching as I am and you hope to.
If you're already using MM, the Exchange metaphor is identical and the two data sources are completely independent of one another. I can view all of my contacts, search my Exchange server data, edit contacts and calendars on either server. You can view all of your MM or all of your Exchange contacts or calendars or view them all at one time - your choice.
Directory search works as expected - pretty well, IMO.
You'll need appropriate permissions to access your network. If you're using something as simple as Google Sync, the service works well.
You may or may not be able to change calendar colors on the Exchange server. You may be able to access only a certain number of calendars within your server - some allow 5, others up to 8.
My changes are synched within a minute, and I'm impressed - for both calendars and contacts. If I could ditch MM and use two Exchange servers to get that kind of service, I would.
My only issue at this time, and it's not a big one, is that by creating a contact on my iPhone, the email address is generally shown as "Other" on my email client, but a couple of clicks and it's taken care of. If I'm adding a contact that's mailed to me as a vCard attachment, every field ports as expected.
Calendars are segregated by color, and you can see either your MM or Exchange calendars or both at the same time. No subscriptions on either server are allowed (yet).

Calendar Items-Exchange and Mobile Me

On my I-Phone, Calendar events appear as one color for exchange (my work account) and a different color for Mobile Me.
I set up my I-Pad to sync both accounts and events show with the same color.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting I need to change?

Sorry - just found similar posts in the "Syncing" section.
Apparently is an issue as numerous posts are reporting the same problem.
Apparently no solution until an update is posted
