Syncing with mail client

hello
i have a xserver, where i run my mail accounts.
yesterday i bought Microsoft Outlook for Windows for 1 of my mail account users. but every time i try to setup the mail account on it, it reports an error. it reports that it doesn't understand the autharacien method the server is using. i thgought that was odd because i have set the motheds to be: kerberos, cram-md5, apop (its IMAP i´m trying to setup. and its the same settings for smtp. and my server works great in other mail clients. then i tried to also activate the method : login. in both imap and smtp. and then outlook would sync with imap. but my smtp (which had the exact same security settings would not sync with the server. now i have turned the security level up again. can this really be right, that outlook doesn't support kerberos and cram-md5????? also there was no spot like in mail you could choose method, only if it was SSL or not.

The Microsoft Office Outlook client is intended for use with Exchange Server, and (in my experience) doesn't work all that well with other mail servers.
Use the Windows Mail client or (as Windows Mail was previously known) the Outlook Express client.
If you must use the Microsoft Outlook client, I'd suggest looking for help in the Microsoft product support forums, and specifically around a connection to a generic Unix server with the Postfix and Dovecot mail services; there's nothing particularly special about the Mac OS X Server mail services here, as this is centrally about the configuration of the Office client with a mail server other than Microsoft Exchange Server.

Trouble with Gmail Syncing with Mail

Hello,
I am getting up to speed with my first Mac and loving it so far. I hope this is in the right place as I could not find a community for Mail.
I have my Mail account synced with my Gmail account and everything works fine on the Mac. However, I am noticing that during the day, when I respond to e-mails from my PC at work using Gmail, I am not seeing those responses back on my Mac when I open Mail. Come to think of it, I also have a draft email on my Mac that is not appearing in Gmail drafts folder. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance!

Sending mail with mail client failure problem

My installation config :
Solaris 10
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
single host installation
since past few days , I encounter a new problem with SJMS after finish installation . When using mail client Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 , sending mail message to outside email providers / non-local (e.g correctly typed yahoo/gmail) domain always failed whenever I use from outside networks/Internet ( smtp setting in mail client require username and password authentication ) . however,users between the same local domain is OK .
The thunderbird always prompt :
" The mail server responded: Recipient address rejected: User unknown. Please check the message recipients and try again "
The problem does not occured when I was using inside LAN and connected locally with the server host .
but, I am able and succesful to telnet to port 25 using command via outside the network, indicating the port and server not being blocked by firewall :
telnet smtp.abcxyz.com 25
220 ***************************************
any help is welcome.
Thanks

I would be good to have the full output from the "imsimta version" command. That gives OS information too, which may not be pertinent to this specific problem, but it is better to give all the info than for us to wish we had it.
Also, what is the full, exact error message you get when you try this with telnet to port 25 and it fails? It may be significant to see the exact text because it could be coming from some intermediate device rather than the Messaging Server itself.
If you are getting connected to the Messaging Server's MTA, you should find some indication of this in the mail.log_current file. If not, I would say to make sure the "logging" keyword is on the "defaults" channel and add LOG_CONNECTION=3 LOG_PROCESS=1 LOG_USERNAME=1 to option.dat and do imsimta cnbuild; and imsimta restart dispatcher. Then repeat the test. If you still get nothing in mail.log_current about that test, then I would conclude the connection is not getting to the Messaging Server's MTA but rather the failure is coming from a firewall or some other intermediate device.
If your mail client authenticates to the MTA when trying to send mail from outside your network, this should result in the message submission being switched to the tcp_auth channel instead of tcp_local and that should allow the message to go thru. If the connect is making it to the MTA and being rejected there, it will be interesting to see which channel is involved. The mail.log_current records should show that.

Exchange 2007 mail account sync with Mail 4.0 does not happen

I am setting up my work exchange 2007 mail account in Mail 4.4. The total size of mail box is ~ 200MB. Folders smaller than 10MB have synced properly and I can see the mails in these folders inside Mail.
However, none of the mails inside folders >10MB are visible in Mail. Activity window in Mail does not indicate that a sync is going on. But I can see that Mail has correctly calculated the folder sizes on server and no. of messages on server (for every folder) in Account Info.
I have waited close to 5hrs hoping that it is probably a slow first time sync, but I am not closer to seeing the mails in Mail.
Any leads to solving this would help.
Thanks

I was having this problem as well with a different host's email account. I was able to get IMAP as an option by holding down the Option key. But then was unable to connect to the server to send/receive mail. Turning off SSL in two places worked:
- Uncheck SSL from the SMTP server settings (click on the SMTP server name & select "Edit SMTP Server List to get to this setting); and
- From the Advanced Options Tab. Also, in Advanced Options, you may need to change the port to 143 (it may be defaulted to 993 since SSL is the default.)

Gmail totally sync with mail.

is it possible to have mail set up such that it replicates your Gmail Account. What I mean here is I would like my Gmail in Mail to include all my labels(which I currently have in Gmail). I guess what I am asking is it possible to have Mail totally sync(mail, labels, etc) with the GMAIL account on the web?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

not unless somebody made a Mail plugin specifically for this purpose and I've never heard of such.

Yosemite server: no CardDAV-Sync with Yosemite clients

Hi everybody,
this drives me really mad:
We had a Lion server (older Mac mini) with Calendar and Contacts services running with no issues. We used global accounts to share company's events and contacts between Macs and iOS devices.
We started using Yosemite on the clients. Even two new clients (iMac and MacBook Air) came into place with Yosemite already pre-installed. Again: Everything works together.
We bought a new Mac mini to switch to Yosemite and OS X Server 4. We didn't any migration and started from scratch: DNS, Open Directory etc.. On one client machine (Yosemite) we just exported the calendars into *.ics-files and the contacts (groups) into *.vcf-files.
On the new server we created network accounts with an exported text file and NOT via an OD archive of the old server, the new server has a different hostname/IP address, both servers didn't disturb each other.
The migration took place at one client again: Importing each *.ics-file into the new account works as expected. Every appointment or event was then synched to every client (OS X, iOS) from the new server.
But: While importing the contacts into the global network account of the new server seems to have been worked, the syncing down to the Yosemite clients breaks and didn't finish. Mavericks clients and iOS clients sync within a few seconds without any problem: They have the same amount of contacts and groups. The Yosemite clients sync far longer and are missing about 100 or 200 (it differs from machine to machine) entries and do not show any group at all.
Even a completely new created local account with fresh configuration of Contacts.app shows this behavior on Yosemite clients. But ONLY with the new server.
This is really strange, isn't it?
Has anyone got similar experiences? And solved this issue, probably?
Best regards,
Olaf

I am experiencing a similar problem with both CalDAV and CardDAV. The existing accounts seem to work as long as you don't try to add a new one. When you try to add a new CarDAV or CalDAV account, a OS X Server account is added instead. The new account gives you the options of selecting Calendar, Contacts, etc. but it's not working. I'm not sure how to work around this yes, but Apple Support suggested copying the files from a working Library into the one that is not working, but I have not had success doing this. This is a known bug that needs to be fixed. If you figure out a work around please let me know [email protected] thanks.

Error syncing with mail

How do I fix?
What is a "record identifier"?

Chill out, the mail sync only syncs the account settings from your mail program to the ipod not the mail messages themselves, so if its worked once already you should be able to just turn that option off, because you've already transferred the settings over. Or you can go in to settings>mail and delete all accounts that are listed, and then try resyncing the settings again. Once again all that setting does is transfer the account settings over, something you can do manually from the ipod, has nothing to do with recieving or sending mail on the ipod after that.

IDEA: Junk Mail Button on WebMail Sync with Mail.app

Feature Request to Apple / .Mac
JUNK MAIL BUTTON ON WEBMAIL
Recently I have had to log into the .Mac website to read my email via the WebMail page. I usually read my email on my Powerbook with the Apple Mail app. I was astonished to see how much spam I was receiving! Mail.app was doing a fantastic job filtering out the junk mail (Kudos to the Mail developers). But that only happens on the client locally, not on the server. WebMail is almost unusable for me!
Wouldn't it be awesome if there were a "Junk" button on the web interface that saved the Junk filter on the server like it does on Mail.app??? I think gmail and others do this. But Apple has a huge edge here. Perhaps using iSync, the Mail.app could syncronize the Junk rules and my personal filters with the WebMail server. I would gladly PAID EXTRA for this feature!!! As far as I can tell, no other application/service does this (syncronized filters). Here's the kicker: on one of these discussion boards we could post filters for one click sharing. So if I come up with a great filter for screening out "male impotence mortgage stock market plans" spam that works well, I could share it with you. Maybe it could integrate with Brightmail?
I would love to hear an Apple Mail.app product manager reply to this idea. I think this is a service that Apple could make some money on, and satisfy customers at the same time.
Please post a reply here if you think this idea is good or *****.
Cheers,
+Eric Mittler

Hi Eric
you should probably submit your idea to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
I don't use webmail myself - so I'm not well placed to judge it.

Unable to Sync with mail in MS Outlook 2003

I just spent an unsuccessful hour with the Palm support group trying to determine why my T/X won't syncronize my mail from MS outlook 2003. I am using Windows XP SP2, MS outlook 2003, and I have a brand new Palm T/X (as in 2 weeks old). I can sync my contacts and calendar, but my messages will not syncronize. Mail I have sent from my T/X won't syncronize to the laptop, and the messages on the laptop won't syncronize to my T/X. We did a soft reset, a hard reset, set up a new account...nothing worked. They referred me to Microsoft, who referred me back to Palm...
Can anyone help?!

does your email account in the PC a pop3 account? and you still have to push the send/receive emails before you can get the emails?
once your email in your outlook in the PC are shown in the inbox, it can't be sync in the TX.
for the reason that versamail will retrieve emails directly from the server. so whatever emails you have in your box will not sync although when you configure versamail it will ask for your email profile.

Cannot sync with email client calendar, only iCloud

I have my iPhone and my email (shawmail) calendar synced up no problem through an account that is under microsoft exchange. I have that same email address tied to an iCloud account that allows any calendar events added on my phone to be reflected in my iCal application on my computer (apart from those saved under the calendar associated with the exchange account, web email client).
The problem is the lack of communication between my Web email calendar and my iCal application on my computer. I can accept event requests on my phone that will show up on the web email calendar but they will not show up on my iCal on my iMac.
I have gone into iCal, enabled calendar syncing on the email under the exchange format and once that's done I have a second account that shows up in the accounts pane of iCal. It however will not connect to the "exchange" account.
I believe the problem lies in the server settings tab of the account, I've entered in the correct information into the Account Information tab but I'm unsure what is required in the internal server, server path, port, use SSL, external server, server path, port, use SSL.
I've contacted my email provider and they have no one on their technical team that can provide anything helpful to those required fields. Only that their server is: wm.shaw.ca which I already knew from the information in my phone to setup email.
Any suggestions? Thank you for your time,
Cheers.

m8,
It do happened sometime, don't know the reason. When I upgrade or change my phone to a new one, I always do one way synch(not both ways, & outlook dominant) , from outlook to phone & it never fails. Since it's a new phone not much data inside, just reset your phone to factory default try this method.
Good luck!

Nokia E6 - Contacts not syncing with Mail for Exch...

Hello - 1st post
Hope I'm asking this in the right place and hope someone can help
I've got a user with a Nokia E6 that's got Mail for Exchange configured on it. Mail and calendar are syncing OK but not the contacts
The user is 150 miles away and I don't have an E6 that I can play with here. I'm trying to talk her through editing the mail for exchange profile (and not having much luck). I'm sure if the phone was in front of me I'd sort it in 2 mins
I've talked the user through going to Menu > Mail > Settings > Mail for Exchange > What to sync. She's telling me there's no option in there to select contacts
Would anyone be able to tell me the exact button presses I'd need to check if contacts are set to sync and how to edit the Mail for Exchange profile to set them so that they do sync please ?
I've tried the manual and a menu map that I found online, but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

Hello Driveblind,
I am having the same problem with a user wich has a nokia e6, did you ever find / fix the problem?

CUA sync with child client issue for indirect role assignment.

Hello Security experts,
we have a indirect role assignment set up in our ECC environment. there is a syncronization issue from the parent CUA to the chlild client. The role assignments have been made to role although they are not always reaching target system without having to sync up either the role or the IDu2019s position # manually. This has been an ongoing issue CUA has on any role or user from time to time. any hint on fixing this issue. please help..

Whole idea of CUA is to manage your roles and users centrally, on the contrary you can manage the roles/profiles by setting up the attributes for the CUA thorugh Central user Management console - SCUM Transaction.
CUA has its own pros -
Central rep,Users Sync,Role Provisioning statergy - Global composites(consists of individual child roles) Distibuted model -Provisioing at individual child systems for roles, etc.Central user store,easy maintenance.
on the contrary - change documents is always a concern ( because cua uses - interface Ids or the RFC ids to push the idocs from cua to child system), CUA maintenance while system refresh - Copied distribution models have to be deleted and re-created, system backups has to be defined per you distribution model, password maintenance if defined global then Child systems act as inactive nodes, reading the roles into cua which are created in childs so as to establish a pointer to that system.
It also depends on the number of systems you have in your landscape so that you can calculate the overhead and then have a Go -no-Go decison on CUA.
Overall, I consider CUA as a good approach provided we streamline the process of provisioning, de-provisioning per the cua standards.

Mail Icon in bar not synced with Mail which I log into thru Mac Mail

Clicking on the Mail icon in bar gives me a list of emails in alphabetical order, going back years. I'm certain I've deleted many of these, but they're still there. No mail received recently goes here - the only way to get my mail properly is to log in to MobileMe using passwords etc [before that, Mac mail] which can be tiresome if I just want a quick check.
How can I sync these two, so that whatever arrives/ is deleted /is sent appears in both locations exactly the same?
Thanks 4 any advice.
