Snow Leopard Mail 4.4, Exchange Server, and Public Folders

I'm still confused about Apple's claim for the advantages of the Snow Leopard Mail program being of such significance to Corporate usage when it does not appear to support access to Public Folders when using an Exchange 2007 (or 2010) profile. Within a Corporate environment, Public Folders are one of the benefits for using Exchange.
Am I missing something?

JL,
What you are missing is the exchange! You can check your e-mail in an Exchange account, but you just can't "exchange" anything with others. I can't for the life of me figure out why such a fundamental feature was left out. While Apple is certainly capable of ignoring a feature like this, Microsoft itself has said that the days of public folders are numbered. I think that since Exchange has become more of a standard rather than proprietary, Microsoft prefers to cripple it in favor of something (Sharepoint) that will be proprietary. Why have something simple, that works, when you can complicate it with something new!
The best I can tell, there is no support for public folders in mail.app for Snow Leopard. However, I can't really find a post that firmly states that. There seems to have been support for public folders in the past (pre-Snow) through IMAP. I'm not really sure how that worked, but I've already upgraded, so it's too late for me.
I'd be happy to hear a firm explanation of this from someone from Apple (or otherwise connected).
Good Luck, Jack

Exchange server 2003 public folders

Hi Microsoft,
I am trying to decommission an Exchange 2003 server. It has public folders on it. How do I tell if they are the master replica?

Mail with Microsoft exchanger servers and encryption

My campus is requiring certain e-mails to be encrypted. When I am on the Windows machines using outlook, there is a simple option to do this. But most of my time I am working on my Mac, thank goodness, and I would like to know if there is a setting somewhere that permits encryption of selected e-mails in a way compatible with the exchange server?
So far tech support has not gotten back to me yet, and searches of this subforum with 'encrypt + exchange + server' just bring up posts about using Mail with an Exchange server, and no 'encrypt'.

I am new as well. I am now getting mail from exchange, but it doesn't seem to want to use exchange as the outgoing mail server.
Also is there anything else that needs to be done in order to sync with my exchange calendar and contacts?

Mail on Microsoft Exchange Server

It seems as though this topic has been beaten to death. I've read nearly every post about getting Mail to work on Microsoft Exchange servers, but I can't make it work on ours.
I am fully functional on the Exchange server using Entourage. However, I simply cannot figure out how to make Mail work on the Exchange server. It seems like some have had luck using the account type IMAP and some using account type Exchange.
I've entered nearly every possible combination of settings, but have had no luck. Is there at least an explanation as to why Entourage will work but Mail won't? I'd still love to get Mail working...any ideas?
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi pblakes9,
I can try and help, I have 10 Macs running 10.4.8 and 3 running 10.4.10 all using Apple Mail with the Exchange Server and no problems.
I have them all set up the same using the account type "Exchange".
Before Apple added that as an option, we had them set up using IMAP.
However it seams that even the account type called "Exchange" is using a IMAP protocal. (excuse me if that is not the right term) What I am trying to say is that our IT people said that no matter if I use the "Exchange" or "IMAP" account type, the Mac talks to the server using "IMAP".
What this ment to us is IT needed to make sure that "IMAP" was enabled on the server.
If you are using Microsoft Entourage version 11 (from Office 2004). This does not use IMAP. So this would still work on your Mac even if IMAP wasn't enabled on the server. However Microsft Entourage version 10 did use IMAP.

TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

Snow Leopard / Mail -- mail keeps getting redownloaded and shows as new mai

Hi.
Anyone had this problem? After I upgraded (?) to Snow Leopard, Mail.app now redownloads my mail from multiple IMAP and POP accounts and shows it as new.
This happens at times I cannot predict. I don't see a pattern to when this happens. I can't predict when it will happen.
So at seemingly random times, Mail suddenly shows that I have 400 unread e-mails. Even though these are e-mails I've already dealt with.
Anyone see this before?
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Amy

Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

Mail supports Exchange 2007 SP1r4 (or later), yours is 4 years earlier than that so I have no suggestions.

Will notes in Mail sync with Notes on Exchange server and Outlook Web Access?

Will notes in Mail 5.0 sync with Notes in latest versions of Microsoft Exchange server and Outlook Web Access?

I was just trying to find the answer to this question myself.
As it happens it's all here in another post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3416007
Looks like Notes used to Sync in iOS4, but no longer sync in iOS5

Daily Problems with Mail Synchronizing with Exchange Server

Our office uses Comcast Business Class Service, which uses 2007 Exchange Servers, for internet access and email. I upgraded my MacPro from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, using the Upgrade DVD. The upgrade process kept my original Leopard Mail settings, which were using POP. At that time, I had not problems with email.
Unfortunately, awhile ago my Mail Preferences became corrupt, and I had to delete them. Upon relaunching Mail, the application wanted to use the new Autosync method to connect to the Comcast Exchange Server. Using POP was not an option.
I must say that I am less than impressed with the way Mail integrates with Exchange Servers. I have daily problems, and experience these problems multiple times per day. When they happen, they slow my email communication down to a crawl; sometimes for as much as an hour.
Specifically, the problem appears to be with Mail's ability (or inability) to properly synchronize with Exchange Servers. I get he spinning pizza icons next to the two Exchange email accounts I have in my Mailboxes source column. Opening the Activity window shows that the synchronizing process has slowed everything down. This results in not being able to send or receive email until the synchronizing is complete. And as I said, that can sometimes take as long as an hour.
Stopping the process in the Activity window does not resolve the issue. Nor does quitting and relaunching Mail. Because the next time Mail attempts to connect to the Exchange Server, it will try to synchronize yet again. The problem has become so chronic, that I often have to resort to using Webmail while waiting of the synchronizing process to complete.
Incidentally, the mailboxes that are synchronizing are empty! I am meticulous about keeping my Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash mailboxes empty at all times. I do not use To-Do's, Notes, or Calendars of any kind on the Exchange Server, so there is no data to even sync!
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix? Other email accounts I have, which use POP or IMAP, do not have this issue. There does not appear to be away to abandon the Autosync Mail setup and revert back to POP. If there is, I will do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks.

Found a solution that works for me. Delete the problem account that's using AutoDiscover to sync with the exchange server. Before doing that, however, you will want to clear out the Inbox, Sent and even Trash folder for that account, as deleting it will remove the messages that currently reside in those folders. Just simply move them to another folder. You can move them back after re-creating the account.
The second step is to re-create the account. Do this as you would normally, and enter in your name, username and password. THE TRICK: Press and hold the Option key when you click Continue. After Mail connects to the server and verifies your account information, you will then have a pull down menu that will allow you to choose Exchange Server, IMAP and POP. Simply select POP or IMAP, then fill out the rest of the fields.
Viola! No more problematic Exchange Server syncing issues.

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?

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.

Undeliverable mail by MS Exchange server

I'm the dark horse trying to use Mail on an Exchange server at work. I spent yesterday getting the connection together, and it's all working fine except for this one thing.
Everything I send bounces back to me as undeliverable with the following message:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Re:test
Sent: 6/26/2007 9:34 AM
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
  Legitimate internal email addy on 6/26/2007 9:34 AM
  The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
  server01.DOMAIN.local
I rarely see this notification in Mail--it shows up in my Outlook Web Access inbox. The messages I'm sending (the ones that are supposedly undeliverable) do reach their addressees, but they go straight into the user's Exchange server's automatically created "SpamEmail" folder.
I feel like something of a hero having navigated the pitfalls involved in setting this up so far, so I don't want to give up. Also, my option is to use Entourage, which was drastically slowing my quad core Mac Pro every time it checked to "Now update" somesuch thing or another--which was always, no matter how I had the "schedules" scheduled. I don't want to go back. (And webmail is o.k. for remote access, but not for daily office work.)

Without seeing the full header of one of those messages, its nearly impossible to say what's wrong and even with the full header, its not an easy issue to diagnose without more info. Your best option is to report this problem to your Exchange server's administrator and ask him or her to look at the Exchange server's log files for any issues.

Snow Leopard MAIL SMTP problem...

Hi,
I have a friend using Snow Leopard MAIL. And he reported to me that all of his outbound emails were (all of a sudden??) being bounced back from his ISP (Hargray.com)
I was able to determine that the problem lies in the SMTP protocol bering issued forth by his iMac/Mail.
Using WireShark I can see that the EHLO being sent out is similar to:
EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/
By comparison what comes out of my machine is:
EHLO [192.168.0.111]
I have already modfied his HOSTNAME in the /etc/hostconfig file but his EHLO computer name persists!
I have NO IDEA where its getting this 'ricks-printer-2' from nor why the SMTP process attaches the even worse junk on then of that.
The ISP comes back with "EHLO ricks-printer-2/.001/ Bad MIME TYPE"
I've scoured the web for solutions and REALLY thought the fixing up his HOSTNAME would do the trick, but no joy. {It did make the COMPUTER NAME in a terminal session prompt come out correctly though....}
Any ideas?
thanks,
tob

I'm having the exact same issue. I've spent hours rebuilding mailboxes, passwords, and keys. I can often go days before the mail will actually be seen in these offline boxes. Apple - we need this fixed!
