To those experiencing Exchange mail push issues - Possible solution

For those who are having Exchange push problems, perhaps this may help:
I was having issues with Exchange push. It would work for about 20 minutes and then pushing would stop. I would have to launch the mail app manually to start syncing mail again and it would push for another few minutes. I tried the following without any help:
1. Restore the phone with itunes (without a backup)
2. Delete and re-create my exchange account. Sometimes, the top spinning wheel would just spin for hours after my mail was downloaded. This drained my battery within 3 hours with the wheel spinning.
3. Try various combinations for domain\user
4. SSL turned off - mail would not sync at all. I don't have control of the exchange server itself, so could not turn SSL off serverside.
5. Tried turning off wifi and 3g... no difference.
6. Used OWA and went into options, mobile preferences, and deleted the existing activesync profiles. (I had a Windows Mobile 6 device also in the profile list along with the iphone)
7. Got my MIS department to check the min/max heartbeat interval in the xml file for Exchange 2007.
None of the above helped at all. So, I went to mail2web and set up a free account there to try and isolate if the issue was with Exchange, the phone, or the network provider. Mail2web took a couple of tries and I had to re-create my account on the iphone, but it pushed flawlessly for over a day. My MIS department had a first generation iphone they tested with and that worked well also. We even tried with a different cell carrier and it also worked.
This left only one conclusion. The issue was with my mailbox. I had asked for a mailbox move to a different server earlier, but MIS refused. Now they were willing to try it, and so my mailbox was moved from one Exchange 2007 server to another in the same segment. I had wanted my mailbox to be shifted from a UK server to one in America, but that was not allowed.
The good news is that moving my mailbox fixed the issue! We then tried another mailbox on the original server and that worked fine, so the issue was not server specific. Something in the mailbox was reset with the move and that fixed it. One thing we didn't get a chance to do is check the autd xml file that stores the current heartbeat interval. Maybe that was reset... but clearing the mobile profiles in OWA should have done that also and treated the iphone as a brand new device.
If you are experiencing the problem and don't have access to a second exchange server, maybe move the mailbox to a different store? Or, try with another test mailbox that is created fresh to see if that one also sees the problem.
Hope this was helpful.

  • For those new to mail with issues sending and receiving mail

    I was surprised that I did not see anyone referring to this amazing and invaluable tool, the Mail Setup Assistant:
    http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
    This tool get's me through troubleshooting sessions more than anything else. Most problems are due to settings when it comes to Mail. Half the time issues with sending emails is just due to SMTP settings, sometimes you do not need to have Authentication for outgoing mail. Sometimes your password is just incorrect. Use Mail Setup Assistant it is pretty **** accurate I use it on a daily basis.
    Sometimes the settings are perfect and sometimes you just have to erase mail completely by doing:
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist pull.
    ~ refers to your home folder!
    Hope this helps!

    It is a very good idea, however many of us do not live in the USA, so cannot yet take advantage of this tool.
    Pity!

  • Z10 Touchscreen Issues - Possible Solution?

    A few months back my Z10 touchscreen became unresponsive. I could not find a solution, so I purchased a new Z10. Recenty I dropped the new Z10 in water...so, still in posession of the old unresponsive Z10, I decided to give it another try. I put my sim card in, and the new battery that came with the new phone. VOILA! Works like a charm. Try replacing your battery. i wish I had known this months ago, could have saved myself spending $200 on a new phone upgrade.

    I'm happy for your positive outcome but I would argue that the battery was not the culprit. Sure, it appears that it was but exchanging batteries to correct a touchscreen issue is not something we would have suggested; I'm sure this is just coincidence.
    Whatever the situation, you now have a Z10 in perfect working order. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

  • IPod Touch Updating to OS 3.1 & Windows Connection Issues Possible Solution

    Hi everyone,
    I may have found a solution to "there was a problem downloading ..." error message. I had recently setup some content filtering on my router, and after disabling it, my iPod Touch 2nd gen is finally updating to OS 3.1.1. Please note that this may be common and this maybe due to keyword filtering, for example: xxx or w4m, etc; apparently, somewhere in the link to download the new OS, the content filter ends up blocking the download.
    So checkout your routers or content filtering software and temporarily disable the filters until the update is complete.

    You will get a prompt to restore, or set up as a new ipod. you dont want to restore from the windows machine, and dont want to set it up as a new ipod. you should restore it on the mac, after the update.

  • Windows 8.1: Printer Offline Issue - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

    Hi all - I came across this extremely annoying problem between my Toshiba Win-spit-dows 8.1 (shudder) laptop and my HP 71197B Photosmart 5510.
    a) I found out my printer ip using Fing on my mobile - use any method to find this out. 
    b) I typed this into my browser and loaded the web interface 
    c) Using a video from the HP site I easily switch to a Static IP.
    d) I then found the printer settings/Properties and clicked on Ports
    e) I then added a new port - the printer was on WDP or something.
    f) I used the new static ip (again found this from Fing) as the address and called it HP Printer.
    g) The laptop found the printer and got all the details
    h) Word then showed the Printer online.....print! 
    i) Got a print faded document because all the black had been used up doing test prints.... but it ruddy prints!!!!
    Hope this helps someone!

  • Yhoo mail Push Not Working?

    He,
    iPhone 3GS OS 3.1, Yhoo mail Push Not Working?
    thanks

    I have also been having the Y!Mail push issue. I noticed it several weeks ago. It used to be that I would get the email push almost immediately after Y!Messenger told me that I received an email. I now will receive the email push sometimes 30 minutes later, sometimes 40 minutes, sometimes hours later. And sometimes never, because I opened up the Mail widget and it does the fetch. Here is what I have done so far (I do hard restarts each time I make a change): I deleted my Y mail account on the iPhone and added it back. No workee for me. I turned wi-fi off so that I am on 3G. Nope - no pushes. I turned on all of my secondary mail servers. Still no workee. I removed all my installed apps, thinking one of them might be causing interference, but no difference. I have performed Restores on the iPhone with no change. I contacted Y!Mail Tech Supt. We swapped emails a couple of times; still don't get the email pushes. Last email from them requested that I send some information to an AT&T employee who would be working on this issue. Well, I sent the info but haven't heard back from him. Very frustrating.
    So just to see if it was my iPhone or a system problem, I sent a test email to my wife's iPhone 3Gs. I sat with the phone for over an hour and no email push. I asked my brother(iPhone 3G) if he gets his email pushes. He says he has never received an email push from Y!Mail since he got the phone last spring.
    So is this an Apple issue? Or Yahoo? Or AT&T? Should I make an appt at the Apple Genius Bar and see if one of their gurus can fix it? Maybe one of the Apple iPhone techs that monitor this forum can chime in.

  • Exchange Server 2003/2010 Coexistence Mail-flow Issues

    I've installed Exchange 2010 in a 2003 coexistence scenario.
    2010 was deployed with CAS,HUB, and Mailbox roles. 
    The installation went through smoothly, and the default RGC was created.
    On the 2010 Server, when I create a new users with mailbox, that user is no able to send or receive mail from anywhere.
    2010 user to 2010 user does not work
    2003 user to 2010 user does not work
    Mail delivery between 2003 users works fine. 
    The RGC message queue in ESM 2003 shows that the messages are queued and keep retrying. 
    I have deleted the RGC twice and created new ones, I have un-installed the HUB and CAS roles and re-installed them, and I have also re-run setup /preparead and setup /preparelegacyexchangepermissions
    I'm not able to make any sense of the message tracking on the 2010 side. It just shows a bunch of entries: 
    EventID: NOTIFYMAPI
    Source: STOREDRIV 
    When I use the best practices analyzer to test mailflow to a 2010 user from the outside, the test comes back with a pass even though the message itself isn't delivered to the specified mailbox. 
    There is no smart host defined on the default SMTP virtual server on 2003.
    There is no SMTP Send Connector for External or Internal mail configured on 2003 besides the 2010 RGC
    Any ideas?

    As long as you cannot send email between ex2010 users this has nothing to do with connectors/smtp config..
    I had the same issue one year ago and solved adding both sevrers to old/new exchange sevrers security groups.
    Looks like for some missing security entry (not sure why) mailbox is unable to conact HUB  (MSExchangeMailSubmission) I expect you seing items stuck in draft for owa (outbok for outlook)
    I saw in some blogs similar cases solved by setting static DNS servers for HUB severs config.
    Yes that is similar to what I'm experiencing.
    When using the Outlook client with a 2010 mailbox the mail leaves the outbox fine. When using OWA new messages just get saved as drafts when I try to send them.
    I will try your suggestions. I see two groups. Exchange Domain Servers, and Exchange Enterprise Servers of which Exchange Domain Servers is a member.

  • Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

    All,
    If you are reading this, you are probable having the same problem as I am:
    After you switched to the iPhone 5, Exchange mail is no longer PUSHing to your device.  I have done testing and this problem affects:
    1) iPhone 5's running connecting to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 servers.
    This does not effect:
    1) my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Beta 6.0 10A5376e
    Troubleshooting:
    1) Wiped phone and started with completely fresh iOS 6 on my iPhone 5. The only thing I did was add my exchange account.
    -Still had same issue.
    ** How to fix this issue:
    1. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.  Click "Fetch New Data".  Make sure push is on. 
    2.  Go back to Mail, Contact, and Calendar.  Click on your exchange account. Click on "Days to Sync".  Even if it is set to what you want this on, chance it to a different setting (i.e. 1 week).  You can change this back later, but this is the only way to fix it.
    3. Go back to Mail COntact and Calendar.  Click on "Show".  No matter what this setting is on, change it to a different setting. (i.e. 100 recent messages).
    4.  Reboot your iPhone 5
    5.  Exchange PUSH will be working now.
    Thanks,
    Clay

    Thanks Superclay, but I've already tried that and more...still no luck it works for like 5 to 10 minutes then stops pushing.  I even went as far replacing my iphone 5 today and still no luck.  I also deleted my exchange account from my exchange server and recreated it, deleted device partnerships and re-added.....nothing push is still not working.  Push email for me is very significant.  I too am on Verizon.  I had to go back to my 4S which is running IOS 6 but push works flawlessly on that device.  It must be some kind of code that runs on the IOS 6 version for iphone 5 that is fudging this up.  I hope Apple and Verizon tackle this issue immediately because its causing me not to use my iphone 5, such a critical feature....not working...stay positive!

  • Outlook connectivity and mail flow issue on Exchange 2010 3 node DAG

    Hi,
    I have 3 node DAG, 2 (NODE A, NODE B) in Production site and 1(NODE C) in DR site. but just 1 AD Site.
    when I have the active databases on NODE B, everything works fine. no issues to report.
    but when I move the databases on NODE A, outlook gets connected with trying to update folders. Furhter, emails will be in outbox and no new emails will be delivered to the users. After an hour or so emails get delivered from outbox.
    Even after supplying the credentials OWA doesnt login. just tries to load.
    No issues when I move the servcies on NODE C.
    ANy idea what could be the issue?
    Thanks,
    Vinod

    Hi Vinod,
    According to your description, there is one-hour delay in the process of sending and receiving emails.
    To check if it’s caused by Autodiscover service, we can use the tool Test Email AutoConfiguration：
    1. Hold CTRL and Click the outlook Icon in the system tray and select “Test Email Auto Configuration”.
    2. Deselect the “Use Guessmart” and “Secure Guessmart Authentication” and click Test.
    3. Check SCP value returned
    For more information, please refer to the following article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchdxb/archive/2012/05/10/troublshooting-autodiscover-exchange-2007-2010.aspx
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2663435
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262052
    If connectivity is well, the issue is mostly likely caused by the Exchange mail submission service.
    We can check if the service work properly. And the issue may be not related to the Hardware Load Balancer. Because the emails are stuck in the client side.

  • Iphone displaying Exchange mail when Entourage doesn't display same messages (sync issue)

    For the past few days, I've noticed email showing up in my Exchange mail on my iPhone 4, but the same messages aren't displaying in Entourage.
    There are a just a few messages that display on my iPhone but not in Entourage.
    I'm on a MacBook, v. 10.5.8 using Entourage 2008.
    I already emptied the Inbox cache in Entourage which ddidn't resolve the issue.
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Have you tried deleting and then recreating the Exchange account on your iPhone? Do these messages appear through OWA? What you see on your iPhone and what you see through OWA should be the same. If Entourage is the only place these messages appear then the issue is likely with the application and not the iPhone.

  • Is it possible to access the data on iphone through exchange mail server?

    Hi all,
    By accident I ve pressed 'wipe this device" on my company email that my iphone was connected to. So they deleted all data on my iphone and I had to restore through itunes. My question is this?
    1. Is it possible to restore my iphone prior to "wiping out"?
    2. Is it possible that microsoft's exhange mail cannot only delete all data from my iphone but also copy them?
    Thanks
    ieroklis

    Thanks for your answer,
    It appears I ve lost 1 month of data as the last backup was 1 month ago.
    Do you know if the company through the exchange mail server can also copy all my data (personal emails, photos, videos etc) that I had on my iphone? or they can just delete them remotely? Is apple protecting all iphone users from this sort of invasions?
    Thanks

  • Where do I read emails in my pushed exchange mail folder?

    I am pushing my inbox and one other folder from my Exchange mail account. The problem is my unified inbox doesn't include the additional folder's emails. The only way to view the folders is to go manually to the accounts section and then find the pushed folder.
    I am new to iPhone and can't find any support topics or threads that deal with this.
    Help!

    There is no unified Inbox mailbox if you are accessing one email account. The unified Inbox mailbox feature "unifies" the Inbox mailbox for more than one email account when accessing more than one email account so you can view all received messages with all accounts.
    It is a unified Inbox mailbox.

  • Orchestrator Exchange Mail IP - Get Attachments Issue

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the Exchange Mail IP from https://scorch.codeplex.com/releases/view/87100.
    I've created an runbook that "Read Mail From Folder", then it "Get Attachments". This is working BUT not when I add a filter to the activity in order to get only the XLS. 
    Let's say when someone send a mail with a signature and also an attachment, the activity download the png file with the excel file, I just want it to download a specific attachments. It is also not working if I add a filter with the exact name of the file.
    This is the same issue as stated here https://scorch.codeplex.com/discussions/551696#post1275422 by seidlm
    Any ideas ?
    Regards,

    Hello Greg,
    I'm doing something like this already, I can use more steps to do what I want, but the fact is that the filters are not working properly for me and other. I was expecting someone to come here with the answer as the author did not reply yet.
    I can do GetAttachments to get all the files, check folder for specifics extensions, move the expected files to an other folder or delete the unexpected files from the folder.

  • Gmail Exchange - line break issues

    When using Exchange for push Gmail on my iPhone 4, I've noticed that any emails I sent have odd line breaks inserted into them. As I'm using the iPhone for work, any emails I send are rendered almost unintelligible. This is particularly bad as I am a professional writer. When using POP to access Gmail the text appears absolutely fine.
    How can I ensure that my emails stay in their original format and don't have line breaks inserted where I don't want them? If this is possible with POP, surely it should be possible with Exchange. Any ideas?

    The problem arises because the iPhone uses "Plain Text" to send emails.
    When using gmail, gmail automatically inserts breaks in "Plain Text" emails every 78 characters, the reason why you see the breaks when unexpected.
    See: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=4d1cecc1aab102ef&hl=en
    To fix this problem:
    1. Apple can allow us to send mail with Rich Text support from iOS devices OR
    2. Google has to change the line breaks setting so that Plain text flows (and isn't broken) <-- this option is probably more realistic
    I have tried from a hotmail account, sending email as plain text doesn't have line breaks imposed like the gmail account, but rather "flows".
    If you want gmail to add a setting to disable line breaks in plain text emails:
    +Suggest the feature here:+
