Using Mail in Exchange Environment

Looking for how-to tips on getting Mail to work in an Exchange environment. Do not want to use Entourage. Also, what ports need to be open so that I can use SMTP for gmail and mac accounts. Company I am working at appears to be blocking them for security reasons.

Mail can't connect to Exchange servers using the native protocol. There needs an IMAP or POP3 connector to be installed, activated and set up on the Exchange server. That way you can connect to the server using POP3 or IMAP protocol. To send, the SMTP service needs to be active on the Exchange server. In short: there is no way to connect to an Exchange server like Outlook would do. If the server is set up to act as a "normal" POP3/SMTP/IMAP mailserver, you can connect to it.
For GMail: SMTP (sending mail) uses port 25 or 587 as a standard (where 25 is the mostly used one), POP3 (receiving) uses 110 by default.

  • Can't use Mail for Exchange With E71

    I downloaded MFE for My nokia E71, and as i am using Microsoft Exchangelabs.com as my exchange server. unfortunately MFE is not working, i mailed a couple of MS technical support and the final remark was
    (the implementation of the Exchange ActiveSync is not compatible with Exchange Labs. For example, E71 may not support wild card certificate (*.exchangelabs.com) Exchange Labs uses for ActiveSync.)
    I installed Roadsync to check on the exchangelabs.com service, It works smothly. However I would prefer to Use MFE. Could any one help me on this issue.

    After playing around for a while, I'm now able to get my exchange mails working.
    The issue was:
    I installed MfE by using my phone browser which was working synced but didn't give me the icon to check my mails.
    Solution to this particular issue is:
    Un installed the MfE which i previously downloaded.
    I downloaded MfE from Nokia web site and used Nokia PC Suite to install in on my phone.
    Re created the profile
    Synced it.
    and I was able to see the Mail for exchange icon to check my mails.

  • Using mail.app, exchange password expired, missing messages

    Using Mail.app with an exchange account. Unknowingly my password had expired. I wrote lots of emails and pressed send. Got the 'whoosh' so I thought everything was ok. Subsequently I discovered my password had expired as I was not receiving new emails.
    I then discovered the emails I was working on had not been sent (not in the exchange sent, outbox or drafts).
    They are not locally in Mail.app, I can't find them in any of the local folders. What has happened? Is this a bug.
    Any idea where the messages are please, 5 hours work down the drain if I can't recover them.
    TIA.

    Mail works fine with Exchange 2003. This is how our accounts are configured:
    Incoming Mail Server:your exchange server.domain.com.au
    eg. server2.bunnings.com.au
    Username: domain\User alias\Full username
    eg. bunnings\bobs\bob.smith
    SMTP: smtp.bunnings.com.au
    Web Access Server: webmail.bunnings.com.au
    You can then setup the LDAP options under the composing tab to get the email list from your Exchange server.
    And no i do not work for Bunnings!
    Good Luck!

  • Cannot unlock E75 after using Mail for Exchange

    Hi,
    I tried Mail for Exchange with my new Nokia E75 and it worked very well, fetched my company e-mail and everything looked good. During the installation the setup wizard asked whether to sync and how often, etc and I said yes. The setup program insisted that I need to take phone locking into use. It sounded strange but I accepted.
    Now I see that I cannot connect my Nokia E75 to my computer with USB anymore as it is in locked mode! When trying to unlock the from from control panel, all I get is "Unable to unlock the phone". I even removed the whole Mail for Exchange mailbox configuration but it did not help.
    So two question: a) are Mail for Exchange and USB really mutually exclusive? b) how I can unlock my phone?
    Thanks!

    Others are having the same problem with other models, too:

    Calendar sync just stopped working. Email sync still works, but calendar syncing will not update N9 calendar. I have tried to remove Mail for Exchange account and re-add that, but it won't work. No error message coming, sync just stops. Sync details indicates that nothing updated to calendar.

  • E90 using Mail for Exchange - Sync sent emails pro...

    Hi
    I am trying to setup Mail for Exchange on a Nokia E90 and am currently trying it with the free mail2web service before deciding what is right for me
    I have gone through all settings and if I sync, it syncs the inbox fine with mail2web and tasks, calendars etc, but it will not sync the sent items folder from the PC to the E90. However, if I send a mail from the E90, it appears on the PC after a sync no problem
    Is this a simple setting thing or a limitation?
    Say for example, I want to send 20 emails from the PC, and then sync so I can have them on my phone, I do not seem to be able to do so??
    Please help with any suggestions

    Hello, all,
    We have the following problem:
    We do NOT want to exchange MAIL with MfE but still CONTACTS and CALENDAR.
    We realised the connection with the echange server, and can send e-mails.
    But the synchronisation of Contacts and Calendar did not succeed yet.
    Maybe we do have to uninstall the synchronisation with the OVI-suite ?
    Who has a suggestion?

  • Using Mail with Exchange Servers

    My office, which is all PC except for my iMac, recently set up a Microsoft Exchange Server. I've set up my exchange account on Mail, however, when I log in using Outlook on a PC I can go into the advance settings and add additional shared mailboxes. Is this possible on Mail? If not, is it possible at all on the Mac?
    All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Shootist007,
    I too loaded sparrow and it did seem to work fine with my (multiple) Gmail accounts and the folder/labels looked great (they do allow you to separate your inboxes/labels) with just a keystroke??---What I found was their HELP files were as MINIMAL as their program (fine for the more experienced I am sure) 
    I spent several hours!!! trying to figure out how to move the inbox messages to the (FOLDERS)??? I gave up!!
    IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STEPS FOR DOING THIS I may well try the program again as it did seem to behave with Gmail/multiple accounts/personal domain quite well!
    I will download thunderbird and give it a go in the morning
    Thanks for the quick response!

  • E5-00 Calendar not synching using Mail For Exchang...

    hi
    I've just upgraded from and E71 to E5
    The mail synchs well, but the calendar will only sych via a phone > Ovi Suite > Outlook using Bluetooth or USB between phone and PC.
    Does the E5 treat calendar synching in a different manner to the E71?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Mail for Exchange already in use error when sendin...

    We have a number of Nokia E50-1 on Vodafone network which we are using Mail for Exchange 2.5.3 (mfe) to sync emails with a microsoft Small Business Server 2003 (SBS2003). When we try to reply or send a new email from the E50 we get the error "Mail for Exchange: Already in use". This happens even if the sync is set to manual and email is set to send with next sync. Very ocassionally a message will go if we keep retrying.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    hi all,
    great forums, hopefully someone has some more info on this, as i am getting the same issue.
    I had mail for exchange working with my e71 no worries and then i added my home TPG account. the TPG account would not work for some reason, not that it overtly worried me, but then when i tried sending mail through exchange (either reply or new mail) i get the error message 'Mail for exchange: already in use'
    I have removed the TPG account, rebooted the thing several times, all sorts of stuff - nothing seems to work. it is still syncing and i am receiving email, i just can't send...!!
    any troubleshooting tips or further info would be greatly appreciated

  • E5, Mail for Exchange, GPRS/WiFi roaming

    Hi all,
    I'm using Mail for Exchange on a Nokia E5 with the synchronization always enabled. I have the following problem. When I leave my WiFi range, MfE switches from WiFi to GPRS nicely. But when I get back into the WiFi range, the phone stays connected to GPRS until I manually abort the connection. The WiFi access point of course has higher priority. I have tried both standard network Destinations and SmartConnect (with 'On better connectionn' set to 'Disconnect'). 
    Has anyone managed to make Mail for Exchange switch back to WiFi automatically? 
    Regards
    Rafał 

    On your Nokia E5 you'll have to list your preferred connections in a priority list.
    MENU -- CONTROL PANEL -- SETTINGS -- CONNECTION -- DESTINATIONS -- INTERNET
    You will find a list of all the wireless access points you've ever connected to, as well as the GPRS/3G profiles you use when you use your cellular airtime/data bundles
    Start deleting all the redundant WLANs (Options -- Delete), until you only see your home/office WLAN access point in that list as well as your GPRS/3G
    Now place your WLAN access point as the first priority (Options -- Organise -- Change Priority)
    Hooray! Now whenever you enter the range of your home/Office WLAN, your Nokia E5 will automatically switch to its highest priority connection and disconnect from the GPRS/3G and vice versa when you leave the WLAN range.

  • Mail for Exchange outlook not syncing all calendar...

    Hi,
    Nokia E6 Anna using mail for exchange to sync outlook.com/hotmail calendar. Recently switched phone so would like my entire outlook.com calendar to appear on E6.
    I added mail for exchange hotmail account to phone selecting email, calendar and contacts. However only recurring calendar entries sync. Old single appointments do not sync/appear on the E6. Why is that ?
    Are there any specific calendar settings for mail for exchange ? Mail for exchange/settings has no mention of calendar.
    I use hotmail connector to sync desktop outlook 2010 and outlook.com. Syncing calendar in nokia suite results in duplicate 'Mail for Exchange' calendars so no good.
    If known issue that's OK. A solution would be good.
    thanks,

    I have solved this myself.

  • Can't set up Mail with Exchange

    Searching has shown that there seem to be a lot of problems with Exchange and Mail, but I wanted to check and see if there's anything else I can do to fix this. My Exchange server works fine with the iPhone and with Entourage, but with Mail it will never sync. I don't want Exchange calendar and contacts, just e-mail. I'm not sure if I'm setting it up wrong - there doesn't seem to be a place to put the domain name? Could that be a problem, or is this just a hopeless quest? I have heard that Snow Leopard should support Exchange, so maybe I will just wait it out. I'm just trying to get switched away from Entourage altogether and I don't like having to use two different e-mail programs. It just seems odd that it works so easily and well on the iPhone but not on a Mac.

    Same problem here. I've used Mail with Exchange for quite sometime but recently I can't send using the SMTP server. I can receive and even send to other email addresses on my Exchange network. But not to the outside world. Tried every configuration and authentication possible. Now I read (here in the discussions) that Mail 3.x (I'm using 3.6) is very unreliable with Exchange. I think we are desperately awaiting Snow Leopard. I will certainly not install Entourage on my Mac again that's for sure. I'm resorting to web access for my Exchange folders now.
    Anyone have any solution to this?
