Trouble setting up microsoft exchange with comcast e-mail...

I have tried several times to set up a Microsoft Exchange on my iPhone4, even called Comcast and obtained the Domain &Mail Server names, as well as other info not asked for in set up. Each time I'm told that the phone was "unable to verify". Can someone please help?
Thanks
Mike

Hi, I just got an iPhone4 (at last) and had the same problem - I couldnt not set up my Hotmail account as my default e-mail on the phone. I tried setting it up several times through the Microsoft Exchange option with no luck for the reason detailed by other posters. I set up my gmail account as the default and lived with it for a few days and then having re-read the posts on here in more depth I managed to fix it. I deleted my gmal account from the phone, selected 'other accounts' from the menu, typed in my hotmail details and Bingo! All fixed and functional and so easy to do that even this technophobe managed it.

Microsoft exchange with comcast business

Can't get email setup. Any one have a comcast business account? Not sure what to put as the server??

As far as I know, it should automatically setup when you select "Exchange' as the email account type in the iPad Settings.app.
There's more information available at http://itrau.com/ciNi9T for setting up your mobile device with Comcast if all else fails.

Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profil

Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
or programs.
What can I do?

The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode

Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...

Microsoft exchange with v10.8.2

looking for directions on how to use microsoft exchange with v10.8.2. I have directions for v10.6 but its not working.

I had the same issue with a Thinkpad X200s laptop's built-in MM keys plus an old Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro's MM keys, and found this solution in my bookmarks which is working great for me in Vista 64 + iTunes 8.2.1.6 with both sets of keys:
http://www.everythingitunes.com/os/windows/2008-01-04/mmkeysdll/
It had also worked a year ago on Vista 32 for a Dell M1330. Very easy too -- I just placed the .dll in the Plugins directory and restarted iTunes.

In mail, a picture was set up to send with my e-mail. How do I remove it?

Hi,
It isn't really sending it, it will only be seen if you're in their Address Book... & you are in yours.
Obnoxious that you can't just turn it off, but you can replace your pic in Address book with a tiny all white .gif.by finding you in AB, highlight it, click edit, highlight the pic &n Paste a white gif there.

"Security policy error" while setting up "Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services" Exchange Account (corporate user)

I'm a corporate user with a very large company that is using Microsoft Hosted Exchange services actually hosted by Microsoft employees at their facilities. I called Palm support and they were clueless and zero help. The lady pointed me to some Palm KB article that I had already read and only remotely had anything to do with my problem. I see nothing on this error message in the forums and google searches. Sprint has even replaced my palm pre due to other reasons and the same error occurs after I configure the exchange account. I'm also seeing the error when I configure my account on my wifes brand new pixi. Both our pre and pixi already have exchange accounts successfully configured on our phones that are hosted by sherweb. The sherweb exchange accounts work without issue. I have tried configuring this microsoft hosted exchange account 5-6 times with the same result. It accepts my configuration information and adds it to the list of available email accounts in the pre. However, it keeps popping up this message stating "Security policy error: "Exchange... Tap for details" (with a yellow exclamation mark). Then it says "Security Policy Error" The account Exchange (first part of my email address) is disabled because security policies cannot be set." "Leave it disabled" or "Remove Account". I know something is working because it enforced a Password or Pin policy on to my phone which is not required unless this account has been added. I can also see it in the "Mobile Devices" section of web outlook when I login. This is the place in web outlook where you can see the last time the device synced, where you can remote wipe the phone etc. If anyone has any idea how to resolve my issue please post. Any ideas? I'm fresh out of ideas on this problem and very frustrated with Palm Developers. Just another example of poor development and testing practices by Palm. I hope they correct this issue on subsequent releases but I am only marginally optimistic that they will ever get this exchange mail support to the level necessary to support large corporations. What I do know is that my Microsoft Hosted Exchange account works fine on a Windows Mobile phone and a iPhone 3GS (confirmed by other coworks who have configured their phones using our exchange services). As a result, I have no choice but to blame Palm for this problem instead of Microsoft. Palm please fully support microsoft exchange mail users!!!!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

From my understanding of EAS and PDA devices, if the server as a policy to enforce and the device cannot provide that policy then the server will not allow the device to connect. The KB I gave you has a listing of what policies the devices supports, if your server supports more than that then it could deny the connection. As for what the iPhone does and does not do we cannot answer that due to we are not iPhone.
I did find an article that may explain a little better for PDA and exchange: http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/how-avoid-smartphone-exchange-policy-lie-004

I am having trouble with comcast e mail using safari

I am having trouble with xfinity e mail using browser, SAFARI

IPad won't let me set up Microsoft Exchange for Gmail

My new iPad 3 won't let me set up a Microsoft Exchange acct for Gmail. In Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account / Microsoft Exchange I add all of the info, hit next and nothing happens - it just takes me back to the same screen with Next grayed out. I followed the same steps on my iPod Touch and had no problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Quit the settings app and restart the iPad - then try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If the email account is appearing on the iPad - delete it and then try adding it back on.

Can't set up microsoft EXCHANGE EMAIL ACCOUNT

Tried everything to set up a microsoft exchange email account and the mail setup wizard tells me to go to the microsoft online website to log in instead.
Has anyone had any luck setting it up through the mail application?
Thanks.

Was it a hotmail or outlook . com account you were trying to setup ? Both of those accounts can only use pop without a third party program.

I set my iPad exchange with same settings from my iPhone. iPad email says it cannot connect to server?

I've tried setting my iPad exchange email with the same settings from my iPhone. However, iPad keeps saying it cannot verify account. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong. There is a small chance I may have the wrong password but I don't think that's the case.

Update....following a Power cycle the iPad SW was able to be updated and iTunes recognised it!!
Note iTunes SW version is 11.1.4 (62) 64 Bit.
All cables are OEM.

Trouble setting up Wifi Syncing with iPhone 4

I'm trying to set up Wifi syncing with my iPhone 4 and when I disconnect the cable the device does not remain under devices on iTunes. This means wifi syncing is not possible.
Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,

First you need to check the box 'Sync this iPhone over WIFI'.
Connect your device to your computer, select our iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left Pane. Then on right Pane, scroll down under 'Summary' tab to check above box and click the APPLY button on the lower right window.

If it's a free gmail account, you don't. Google no longer permits free accounts to be set up using Exchange Active Sync. Only paid google apps accounts can be set up as Exchange accounts.
