Unable to configure multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2013

This is a complicated issue so I will try to describe it the best I can.
I have a client with two SBS servers for two different organizations in two different locations.  Each server handles completely different domains.  Let's call them A and B.
The issue is this...using Outlook 2010 or 2013 on clients at location B, I can configure Outlook for the users mailbox on server B just fine.  Some of the users at location B also have mailboxes on server A.  When I add a 2nd Exchange account for
the users mailbox on server A, things get weird.  
Sometimes, when I start Outlook after adding the 2nd Exchange account, Outlook will show only one mailbox, but it is incorrect.  The top level will show it is a mailbox on server B, but it contains email from server A.  When this happens, email
actually transfers from one mailbox to the other.  I have to close Outlook quickly before things get out of hand. About a year ago, I determined that if the user has the same username and password for their mailbox on server A and server B, this would
cause the problem.  So I changed the users' username on server B and it seemed to work with Outlook 2010.
Now, a year later, we have a new user with Outlook 2013 with a mailbox on server A and server B, who works in location B.  I setup Outlook 2013 with mailbox B and it's fine.  I add a 2nd Exchange account for mailbox A to their Outlook Profile,
and when I launch Outlook, it shows both.  BUT, the mailbox A has nothing in it, and the status shows "This folder has not yet updated.  CONNECTED".  Mailbox B shows "All folders up to date.  Connected to Microsoft Exchange".
 Also, existing email from mailbox A starts showing up in mailbox B.  If I go into mail account settings, I get the "Outlook is using temporary mailbox" dialog, meaning something has moved.  If I look at the two accounts, both look
to be using the same OST file, even though under data files, there are two OST files, one for each mailbox account.  If I delete the 2nd Exchange account (A), Outlook works again for the single mailbox on server B.
I've tried configuring the accounts without cached mode, but that doesn't work either.  Mailbox B had a delegate account (Full access permissions) to another account on server B, but I have tried removing that also, but no change.
I cannot figure out why I cannot have two Exchange accounts, one from each server (A and B) in Outlook 2013/2010 at the same time.
HELP!  
Thank for any ideas.  I hope I haven't made this too confusing.  One last thing...when I add the 2nd Exchange mailbox, I authenticate with the username on server A with domain\username and their password.  The authentication seems to be accepted
fine and without error.  I have also tried configuring the 2nd account using "automatic" instead of configuring manually.  Same problem.

OK, I have done some more testing as you suggested.  I created yet another new profile with just mailbox A.  When I start Outlook, I see the users mailbox, plus a mailbox that the user has been given Full Permissions to (a delegate?).  There
is one more mailbox that this user has full permissions to, but it did not auto-add itself, so I added the mailbox through the account properties.  Now, all three mailboxes at location A are in Outlook (users mailbox and 2 delegate mailboxes).  In
Outlook, on the left, has at the top the users main mailbox, and then below it are two other "branches" for the delegate mailboxes.  I did NOT use cached exchange mode, btw.
I quit Outlook and edited the profile, adding another exchange account for the users mailbox at location B.  I did a "check-name" and authenticated OK.  
I launched Outlook, and the same (wrong) thing happens.  On the left pane of Outlook, at the top, it shows it is the users mailbox at location B (the main branch says Mailbox name -- location B), but all the folders and content are from mailbox at location
A.  Outlook has mixed it up, and it is at this point that email starts moving between mailboxes, so I quit Outlook quickly.  It did show the two delegate mailboxes from location A, but there were just three "branches", and nowhere is there
the real mailbox B.
Can it have anything to do with the fact that these accounts have delegates (or are given full manage permissions to other mailboxes on the  server)??
UPDATE:  I just determined something.  When looking at the Outlook email accounts dialog, for each account it shows the default delivery location.  For the first account (location A), it shows:
"Selected account delivers new messages to the following location:  usersemail@locationA\Inbox".
When I add the users mailbox for location B, it shows:
"Selected account delivers new messages to the following location:  usersemail@locationB\Inbox".
However, when I start Outlook, and see that things are wrong and quit, I go back into the accounts dialog, and BOTH accounts are set to deliver to the SAME location:
"Selected account delivers new messages to the following location:  usersemail@locationA\Inbox".
So now, the 2nd exchange account has changed it's location to deliver to mailbox A instead of B.
Crazy stuff.

  • Cannot connect to an Exchange account in Outlook 2013 using "Microsoft Exchange Server or Compatible Service"

    Dear All,
    I cannot connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 using "Microsoft Exchange Server or Compatible Service".
    First I would like to present my network environment, I have 4 physical servers;
    The first one is holding the Domain Controller 1, IP@: 192.168.1.10
    The second server is holding the additional Domain Controller which it is DC2, IP@: 192.168.1.11
    The third server is holding the Exchange 2013 Mailbox, IP@: 192.168.1.15
    And the last server is holding the Exchange 2013 CAS-HT, IP@: 192.168.1.16
    I am doing the steps below:
    1-Creating a new profile in outlook and start configuring the exchange account by entering the IP address of the Exchange-CAS Server, 192.168.1.16
    2-entering the account name: [email protected]
    3-Go to "More Settings" > "Connection" > "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" > and entering the "Exchange Proxy Settings"
    4-type the exchange CAS Server URL, https://192.168.1.16
    5-Check the "Connect using SSL Only"
    6-Authentication Settings: "NTLM Authentication", and pressing Apply
    7-When I press the "Check Name" button, a message occurred> "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action".
    8-I go back to the "Exchange Proxy Settings" and I Uncheck the "Connect using SSL Only" and pressing Apply
    9-i press the "Check Name" Button, a small window occurred to enter a Username and Password, so I enter the Administrator username and the administrator password and pressing "OK", but nothing is changed, I tried to enter my
    username and password in the small window and I still got the same result.
    I cannot verify the account name and I cannot complete the process.
    I appreciate you kind assistance.

    Hi,
    To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
    1. Try to login the test account through OWA.
    2. Check the Autodiscover settings: get-clientaccessserver |fl autodiscoverserviceinternaluri
    3. Check the result of directly accessing the following URL:
    https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

  • Can' add Exchange account to Outlook 2013

    Hi,
    We have an Exchange 2013 server which as far as I know is fully working - Outlook clients on the domain connect fine, OWA works fine and mobile devices work fine.
    However I have a problem when trying to add an Exchange account to Outlook 2013 when this computer is on another domain (separate network, separate domain, separate company).
    I assume Outlook is searching for an Exchange server which isn't there but how can I get around this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please try to alter the authentication method on the relevant CAS servers to Basic and test the issue. For details:

  • Searching Multiple Exchange Accounts in Outlook 2010

    Hi
    After upgrading to Outlook 2010, one of my users can no longer search multiple exchange accounts.  Here is the background.  The user is an administrative assistant for 2 partners.  She has full permissions against their mailboxes.  Their
    accounts show up under her Outlook profile and she can access all the mail, calendars, etc.  However, when she searches, she only gets results back for her mailbox.  She needs to be able to search and get results back from the partners mailboxes
    as well.  Is there a setting we are missing? 
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    It seems to be an issue fixed by the updates. Make sure you have patched Office 2010 SP1 and have the programs up to date on the assistant's computer.

  • "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" when adding second Exchange account to Outlook 2013

    I have a problem that I've found to be typical, just haven't found anything that describes my exact problem.
    I'm having trouble adding a second Exchange 2010 server account to Outlook 2013 in one of the computers of the domain. Outlook 2013 will complain with "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
    this action".
    I've Googled and found many threads with the same error... however most of those seem to be either a problem with the server, or the Global Catalog in Active Directory, or the "connection method" (I've tried all found solutions to no avail).
    This is not the case, since the first account is added with absolutely no problem. It can send and receive and I can delete the outlook profile and recreate it and it'll give no problems. I have this problem only when adding a second account.
    This is a fresh Windows 8.1 install with an up-to-date Outlook 2013. I have other computers in the same domain and network, with the same setup (Win 8.1 + Outlook 2013) configured with two exchange accounts with no problem.
    There are no connectivity problems, I can access that same account through OWA and in other computers on the network... the Global Catalog seems to be fine (shows two active DCs, which is correct).
    I've tried deleting and recreating the outlook profiles, repairing the outlook installation, even deleting all outlook files in AppData and letting it recreate them, with no success.
    Any hints of what could be going on?
    Before I speak, I have something important to say.

    Hi Javier,
    Thank you for the update.
    I have tested on my lab and get following result.
    Lab: Exchange 2010, CAS Array (CAS01+CAS02), MBX01, DC
    Type Server Field
    Check name result
    Changed Server Field
    CAS01.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    CASArray.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    DC.domain.com
    Yes
    CASArray.domain.com
    MBX01.domain.com
    No
    "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
    Based on my knowledge, the reason why inputing DC FQDN in the Server Field fixes this issue is that Outlook performs AD Lookup and finds the account configuration from AD, then back the CAS Array FQDN in the Server Field  instead of DC FQDN.
    Exchange 2010 is different from Exchange 2013, if you are using Exchange 2013, we need to input MailboxServerGUID.domain.com into Server Field.
    If there is anything I’ve misunderstood, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

  • ICloud breaks Exchange account in Outlook 2013

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud  on my work laptop hoping to get both my corporate exchange account and my iCloud account to appear in Outlook 2013. The iCloud account works fine, but with it installed I am no longer able to send emails from my exchange account. The emails just get stuck in the outbox. Once I remove iCloud it works again.  I have tried a variety of settings in the Send/Receive group to no avail. Does anyone have an idea how I get them both to work together? All other aspects of iCloud coexists just fine. Not being able to send from my corporate account is a deal breaker.

  • Outlook 2010/multiple exchange accounts/new mail notification on one only

    Hi, is there a way to have multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010 but just have new mail notifications on the first only?
    I tried having the first exchange account open an additional user, but running into memory errors as a result. Found the solution to that by adding them as separate accounts, but this creates noise with mail notifications, reminders, etc-
    Thanks in advance - Joe

    Hi,
    You can configure multiple Exchange accounts in Outlook 2010. For details on how to configure, you can refer to this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook/archive/2009/08/25/multiple-exchange-accounts-in-outlook-2010.aspx
    Also, only the default mail store will get the new mail icon. You can use rules to pop up a desktop notification for the other accounts but the icon will only appear
    for the default account.

  • Outlook 2010 - Multiple Exchange Accounts - Won't send from second account

    I've setup multiple exchange accounts in Outlook 2010.  I receive fine for both accounts, but cannot send from second account.  Sent email goes to the Outbox and stays there.
    I've tried going back to a second profile, and it works fine.  Mail in Outbox from efforts above stay in Outbox.  If I pull them up, I can resend with no issue.
    I need to be able to send with multiple accounts in same profile to do other projects I'm currently working on.  Any ideas???
    Thanks,

    I was able to fix this with Outlook 2010 Service Pack 1.
    Another area that I had to change was the inbox for that other account I created a rule to put in the primary inbox folder (email 2).
    After that the email was only checking one to send and recieve based on the highlighted account, so to resolved that I went to Send/Reveive Groups > Define Groups > Edit Account Properties and made sure they refresh every 1 minute(s).

  • Multiple exchange e-mail accounts in outlook 2013

    Hello. I'm trying to set-up two exchange e-mail accounts in outlook 2013 (Exchange server is synchronized with Active Directory).
    Once I add second account and restart outlook I get password prompt from each of the accounts. And it keeps prompting all the time and one of the accounts do not work. Could you please assist me on how to set-up those multiple exchange e-mail accounts correctly

    Setup the second Exchange account in one profile would always keep prompting usernam/password. This is limitation of Outlook profile.
    To work around this, I recommand that you may use the tool as below:

  • Multiple exchange-accounts

    Hi everybody
    I have a gmail that contains all my personal e-mails, contacts and calender notes. I also have a work e-mail that contains alle my work related e-mails, contacts and calender note (meetings ect.)
    Both accounts can configured as a "Mail for Exchange" which suites me perfectly. I have tried iPhone and Android and it works perfect with multiple exchange account - but Nokia C7 doesn't? Why?
    I have googled this for some time without getting any good anwers. Some people says that raodsync does the trick but on the roadsync supportpage the developers state that rodadsync only support one exchange account at the time.
    Can it be true that the largest cell-phone manufacturer in the world don't support this simple feature. iOS and Android does...
    Please help me, I would like to switch to Nokia but this issue is a deal-breaker :-(

  • Office Small Business Premium 365 - Setting up multiple Exchange accounts

    Can we set up multiple Exchange accounts on a single Outlook profile using Outlook 2013 (365 Full App)?  We have an email subscription to O365, and we have another email account that's hosted with GoDaddy that's an Exchange account.  I think it's
    possible, but I'm being advised that it isn't reliable (or that it can't work).  I found this TechNet article that seems like it
    should work: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee815819(v=office.15).aspx   However, I don't have OCT with O365 Small Business Premium, so I don't know how else to do this...
    Any suggestions/advise?  Thank you!

    Seems like it is possible.  I was able to add two exchange accounts (office 365 services) into Outlook 2013.  I guess this is possible through Email Accounts (add New...).  Thanks, Microsoft!

  • Problems setting up multiple exchange accounts with same user name

    Hello,
    I have two email addresses on the same exchange server at work that I would like to configure on my iPhone4 running iOS 4.3.3. I can setup the first email just fine but when I set up the second email iOS tells me " Cannot Create Account: An identical Exchange account already exists". Here is a working example:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    username and password for both email1 and email2 are the same credentials. Am I getting this error message b/c the username for both accounts is the same? if so is there a workaround for it without having to change the username for one of the accounts?
    Any help would be appreciated. Also, we are using Microsoft Exchange 2010.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem. From all the information I can find, iOS doesn't allow you to access multiple Exchange accounts using the same credentials. I'm not sure if this is a restriction of iOS or a restriction of Exchange ActiveSync.
