Using Exchange Mail Offline

Does anyone out there have experience using an Exchange mail account offline (in airplane mode)?
My boss is used to using Outlook 2010 offline on his Windows 7 laptop. Once he gets off the airplane, everything he did offline synchronizes with the server when he connects to the internet - emails get sent, calendar entries are entered and emails are filed into subfolders.
In the past this was a problem with iOS. I've tested this on my iPhone and it seems to be working properly. I'm looking for confirmation from anyone with experience please.
Thanks

I don't know all the differences between connecting to an exchange server as an exchange server or as an IMAP server.
But I do know that I get mail okay and I can accept meeting requests connecting as IMAP. I can't send mail because the exchange admins don't serve up an SMTP server. I just use another account for that.
I also don't look at the exchange calendars, and have no need to share my calendars with the exchange users. If I did, I would just use OWA.
If you could live with a similar arrangement and your exchange admin offer it, consider switching your email connection type to IMAP.

When I set up my exchange account on iPad2 cameras always become disabled. What's the problem, can I use my cams along with using exchange mail?

Can someone help me with this question? Why iPad 2 disables camera when I set up my Exchange mail account? How can I enable camera along with using mail?

The iPad is not disabling the camera - the administrator for your Exchange account is. You need to go to the person who administers your Exchange account and ask them to lift the restriction on cameras in their Exchange system.

Exchange Mail Offline Problem when moving/deleting mails

Hi there,
I am using the Apple Mail Program to connect to my corporate Microsoft Exchange Server. This work perfectly well (also with the calendar, tasks, etc.)
Mail also work s well while I am online.
When I work offline (I often travel in planes in trains) I can write emails, respond to mails and those will be synchronized without any problem when I am back online.
But the strange thins is that Mail sets back all changes in my inbox without any recognizable trigger. Meaning, I am moving emails from the inbox folder to other folders and/or deleting emails from my inbox. After switching from the inbox to another folder, or simply shortly to another program and then coming back, ALL moved and deleted emails show up again in the inbox. This is strange, because I am offline the whole time - thus the expanation that the server synch has changed everything back cannot be. At the same time, written emails stay in the outbox folder and remain there until I go online again.
I asked an apple employee at Genious Bar but he could help me. Another friend of me who uses another corporat Exchange Server experiences the same problem. Can anyone help?

One thing that may help is to go to Mail Preferences, Accounts, and in your account under the Advanced tab select the check box for "Prompt me to skip messages over xxx kB" (where you indicate how many kB). This can reduce the download times by factors of 2 to 4 or more, depending on the size of the attachments.
I think the more specific control you are looking for that is analogous to what you can do on the iPhone and iPad might not be available on the computer versions of Mail.
Edit added: I just noticed that the above option is only available for POP accounts, but not for Exchange (IMAP) accounts, so unfortunately it may not apply to your account.

Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail(4.5)?

Can i use exchange 2010 in the mail（4.5）？
i can't use exchange 2010 in the mail （4.5），but i can use normally in the mail （3.6）。why？

Of course you can use your iPhone in the rain but since devices are not waterproof, nobody in their right mind would recommend it. The risk is yours and an out-of-warranty repair might cost more than a few bucks.
I highly recommend you read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3302
And some kind of a protective casing if you insist on using the device in the rain.
Live long and prosper!

How to send mail in PL/SQL using exchange server details.

Hi Experts,
Business user has provided us the exchange server details to send mails.How can I send mails thru PL/SQL using exchange server details.

Oracle supports the standard application protocol SMTP - it does not support a proprietary protocol like that used by Exchange that only works on the Windows operating system. It however provides you with the flexibility to code this yourself.
If you for example use Microsoft MAPI (Mail Application Programming Interface), you can integrate it with PL/SQL using the external procedure (extproc) feature of Oracle.
In a nutshell, extproc enables you to create PL/SQL wrappers for public DLL calls. I posted sample code that demonstrates this in {message:id=2271919}. The sample code is for calling a DLL interface on HP-UX, but the concept is identical on Windows.

When I send e-mail messages with file by using a POP3 in Exchange 2010 I received delivered message with file. How I can disable this functions that file do not include to delivery message. I use Exchange 2010 only local users.

I think there is not native rule for this, but you could try a transport rule which removes all attachments over a very small file size like 1KB.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

Using Mail Offline

My experience using Mail offline (e.g. on a plane) have been less than satisfactory. In particular, I have too recurring problems.
This first one is that when I'm offline and click on 'send' to send a message, I always get the following dialog:
http://img.skitch.com/20090212-b2g884bgafnxa6mfrsu2inr68w.jpg
At first blush, I suppose that makes sense. Mail is telling me that I can't send the message right now, etc. But if you are writing 20-30 messages, it gets a little tedious having to tell Mail the same thing again and again, especially since it takes a few seconds and then interrupts whatever you are doing next to inform you.
Any suggestions for work-arounds or solutions on this one?
Second problem is that when I get back online, Mail is very busy for a while (1/2 hour or so), and I get about a dozen of these messages:
http://img.skitch.com/20090212-txtpjhatmbyr16qan48gfsgey3.jpg
I'm never quite sure what it was that I did offline that can't be executed now that I'm online, or what is going to happen now. Was it files that I moved to other folders? Was it messages that I sent? Did they get sent?
Suggestions, thoughts, recommendations, etc. very welcome.
Thanks!

Can you use Exchange with Mail.app?

Hello,
I have attempted to search for this answer but have not found anything that really helped me. Can someone guide me to an url or resource to see if using Exchange on a Mack with Mail is possible?
Thanks so much!

Hi all;
For MS Exchange on Mac, you need to run IMAP4 on MS Exchange server to allow Mac users connect and download emails locally using Mail.app (copy from emails remain on server like Outlook).
For that do the following:
1. Enable IMAP4 service:
a. From Services (Local).
b. Microsoft Exchange IPAM4.
c. Change it to Automatic.
d. Start the service.
2. Enable IMAP4 in MS Exchange system:
a. Exchange System Manager.
b. First Organization.
c. Servers.
d. 'Server name'.
e. Protocols.
f. IMAP4.
g. Default IMAP4 Virtual Server.
h. Right click and Start.
3. Restart MS Exchange server.
On Mac client (Mail.app):
1. Add new account.
2. Email Address: [email protected]
3. Password: user's password.
4. Account Type: Exchange.
5. Incoming Mail Server: "MS Exchange server" IP or Full DNS name (i.e. Server.test.com).
6. User Name: [email protected]
7. Password: user's password.
8. Outlook Web Access Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
9. Outgoing Mail Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
10. Check "Use Authentication" and fill User and Password fields.
11. Check "Take Account Online" .
Note: Mac users have to join the windows domain

Trying to go from Entourage to Apple Mail using Exchange Server

I am currently using Entourage and successfully connecting to my company's Exchange Server. I am sick of how Entourage wraps text and poorly handles HTML emails, and a host of other annoyances. However, I cannot for the life of me get Mail to work with my Exchange Server. The input fields on the account setup are not the same between Entourage and Mail. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Same goes for me. I know IMAP is not enabled. Entourage WORKS within my workplace network but mail.app will not. Entourage is OK using IP addresses like 10.1.1.30 where mail.app doesn't know what to do with them. Again, all this is within the workplace network. Outside the network, Entourage does not work and all I have to use in Outlook Web Access. I am fine with the inside-outside situation. I just would like a workaround to be able to use my mail.app within my workplace Exchange environment.

Has anybody experienced missing sent emails after updating their iPhone to IOS 5.0? Mail composed on phone appears to send but is never delivered nor does it show in sent items. Using Exchange 2010. Any thoughts??

@Satterp
Not sure if you were responding to me or OP - my iPhone is on 5.1. The OP at the time of writing was on 5.0.1.
Also, the OP and I had setup our Hotmail as an Exchange server (similar to IMAP), not POP3.

SBS 2011 - Using Exchange / Static IP - Cannot send e-mails to certain domains

Hi,
Client is running SBS 2011 using Exchange to send and receive e-mails. For some reason 5 days ago they got call from clients stating they had not received e-mails from them (stpeterdeland.org). I ran the online Exchange Analyzer - (No errors). The
strange thing is the client was not receiving "NDRs". i talked with one IT admin for one of the domains. He saw our e-mails being held up by his spam filter and has since "White Listed" the domain IP (65.34.20.210).
I also ran Exchange BPA - No problems noted. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Frank

You have your answer: spam filtering. The clue was 'no NDR', when emails disappear without trace, it is almost always because something has designated them 'spam'.
You can't really do much about this unless you know why the emails are being flagged. Possibly your contact can help here, most anti-spam systems do explain why they mark down particular emails. Spam filters use many criteria, some of them even rational.
I once found that a client's emails were disappearing because of a picture used as a signature: it was a .jpg file, and the problem was solved by substituting a .png file. That's one hint: do not include files which can carry malware, or at least not unless
zipped, preferably with a password. Unfortunately, there are not many file types which cannot include malware. Outlook drops broad hints if you try to attach certain files, and suggests you might wish to reconsider.
Another minus is the use of HTML email, which is unfortunately almost universal now. Plain text emails are less likely to get the thumbs-down, but I'm not sure if the MS webmail can even originate plain text emails. Obviously, there are certain words to
be avoided, and I won't mention any here, but many apparently innocent financial and entrepreneurial words will bump up the spam score. Multiple exclamation marks, lots of upper case, the list is endless. I was once trying to help a client's salesman set up
a VPN connection, and had my email killed by Yahoo because it contained a URL and some other networking information.
The only really certain way to find out why emails have been dropped is to ask the admin of the recipient, or of any smarthost used on the way. You do have to hope that they actually have an admin to ask...

Using mac mail 3.6 on leopard OS to connect to exchange server 2010?

Is there a way to connect to a 2010 exchange server using mac mail 3.6 on leopard OS? I have the server name but cannot figure out how to send mail using the smtp outgoing sever?

Well, you could try a search for whatever it is after the @sign +mail+setup, like

Using Mac Mail to view Exchange server account

So my iPhone 3GS has no difficulty syncing e-mails, contacts, calendars from my workplace exchange server, but I can't sync these same workplace e-mails, contacts, etc... with Mac Mail on my home computer. My computer apparently can't recognize the exchange server account, and the IT guy at work says that you can only sync phones to our work server, not home computers. Does that make sense? Or am i just not setting up Mac Mail properly (something like changing the Port #?). I guess I just don't understand how phones can sync but computers can't...
Any help would be much appreciated.

In the world of Microsoft Exchange, that makes sense. iPhones use a network technology called Active Sync, which is designed for mobile devices. Mail uses Exchange Web Services which has more functionality.
If your Exchange server supports a third technology called IMAP, then you can configure Mail to use that instead of EWS.
