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!

  • How to sync the apple mail with exchange servers?

    Hello, I am trying to configure the Apple Mail app to sync the mailboxes with the corporate EXCHANGE SERVER. The mails did not sync as I click, Is anybody had the same problem? is there any special configuration?

    Unlike Gmail, which is set up as either an IMAP or Exchange account, POP accounts will delete messages from the server when they are retreived by an email client, such as your iPhone.  The only way to keep them longer is to change the Delete From Server setting on your account (if present) to Never. (This is supported by many, but not all, POP accounts).  This is usually found on your phone in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>tap your POP account, tap Advanced (usually under Outgoing Mail Server), tap Delete from Server, set to Never.  As for the messages already deleted, unfortunately they can't be retreived at this point since they have in all likelihood already been deleted from your POP account's server.  Also, you can't recover them from your iPhone backup as the backup doesn't not contain email messages.

  • 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?

  • Using Mac Mail with Exchange problem - Please HELP

    When using mac mail with exchange server 2000 when i delete an email from mac mail it doesnt delete it from exchange i know this because when i login to my email from microsoft outlook the mail that i deleted is still there.
    i have tried changing the mailbox behaviours in mail preferences to not store deleted messages on the server but this didnt do anything do i need to setup directory access in utilities to get an exchange account to work properly any help would be appreciated as we dont want to have to use microsoft products
    many thanks

    Are you set up for POP or IMAP? For POP, that's the normal behavior. For IMAP, try making sure you have the synchronize mail folders option selected. The is under Mail->Preferences->Accounts->Advanced.

  • I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header.  Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop.  Is there a setting for this?  Thanks!

    I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1.  I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that.  I now have to type each name in.  Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software?  Thanks for any info!

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • In using mail with my mackbook air with maverick, to open a message takes time as if the message is downloaded & its same every time I want to open the message from inbox.

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

  • Using mail with hotmail

    You need to install a httpmail plugin for the Mail.app which adds the httpmail protocol and account type to choose from when creating the account which can be downloaded here.

  • 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.

  • Mail with Exchange crashing after installing 10.5.2

    Just installed 10.5.2. My work e-mail is through Exchange - Mail downloads new messages and syncs with the server, but every time I try to view a message it crashes. I can't view any message, whether it's html-formatted or just simple text. Anyone else having this problem?

    I am also experiencing this issue, but not with exchange. I connect to several mail servers, most of them using Postfix. One is even my .mac account, though I'm not sure what server package they use for that. Same symptoms.
    For me, it happens on all accounts, removing and re-adding accounts does nothing for this. Adding new accounts that had not been there previously also fails to resolve the issue.
    Console shows the following:
    2/13/08 4:02:17 PM Mail[952] * Assertion failure in -[LibraryToDo setMailboxUid:], /SourceCache/Message/Message-919.2/Library.subproj/LibraryToDo.m:211

  • 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.

  • How to use Mail with Kerberos?

    I am a Mac user in a mostly Windows office which uses an Exchange Mail Server 2003 for mail. Currently I connect to our mail server using Mail's Password Authentication. This works well, but our IT manager is concerned that this method sends the password in the clear, and would like to have me connect using Kerberos. But when I try using Kerberos (I've tried both version 4 and version 5 in Mail), Mail will not send. It waits a long time, then I get a drop down message saying "Cannot send message using the server ......"
    There are others in our office using Windows laptops who are able to send mail using Kerberos, so it should work on our server.
    Is there something wrong with Mail's use of Kerberos?
    What do I need to change? (I'm using Mail Version 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) with OS X 10.4.6.)
    Thanks.

    It doesn't seem anyone here knows anything about Kerberos? Any suggestions where I might post my question and find an answer?

  • 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!

  • Mail with exchange server problem.

    I keep getting a connection failed message asking me to chdeck the settings for my exchange account. I've done this many times and even managed to talk our administrator into checking the settings.
    The error message contains the information that the host xxxx server on port 143 failed. This port may be incorrect, but how do I chage it?
    I have managed to sync with my exchange account and all messages seem present, just can't send or recieve from mail, via exchange server.
    suggestions?????/

    I think the problem of intermittent connections to the mail server is that it may be caused by OSX's firewall, so what I did was to go to System preferences>sharing>Firewall, I opted for a New port, I selected "other" and named it Mail and under the TCP port number I input 25 or you may input whatever you use (ssl requires a different number) or you may do several to cover all the accounts and name them mail2, mail3 etc. if you are wondering what UDP is, its the following: is a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network, in other words if you are not sure avoid inputing a number here. So far Im trying it out for stability, I have read many articles and the solution may be as simple as this, its easy to try and non permanent, any one trying this solution please post any experiences. Thanks

  • 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:

  • Using Mail with both pop and imap accounts

    I have a Q to better understand how the Mail app. works in Lion so there is better coordination among my devices and mail = I'd like to lay out how it is now set up and see whether or not I'm right about how to handle them - and how to do things better.
    1.  I have a .mac account and no problems with it = if I read and delete on iPhone it deletes off iPad and computer fine.
    2.  I have an email account that is an IMAP account but at another host [I use Mail to get email from it] - so what I think happens is that it's sort of the same thing but operating on that other host as an IMAP so that the same thing happens more or less - email comes in on all 3 devices and when I delete from one it deletes from others = but maybe not as fast because it's going thru the Mail intermediary.  My need/wish is to use one email program [Mail] to get all my mail and that's why this and others all go thru Mail.
    3.  I have a 3rd account that is a POP account and can't be made IMAP because of the nature of the plan/host - in that I've noticed that I'll have 100 messages on my main computer and delete 75 of them but the 100 are still left on the iPhone and iPad = so far I don't do much about it but I hope/assume I'm right to think that if I know I've read and dealt with the 100 messages that if I want to I can just delete them all quickly off the iPhone or iPad...I'm not sure how to handle a Pop account to minimize all the hassle.
    Does this seem like the right way to go or is there a better way to manage these 3 diff. accounts ???  I noticed some of the problem when I checked Mail on my iPad and saw there were loads of old emails 'unread' on it that I had dealt with on my computer so I knew things were out of whack.
    Last thought = I do go to Synchronize all Accounts from time to time but really don't notice it makes a difference but maybe I don't understand tht either.
    thanks much

    Okay, it just fixed itself without me doing anything, or even quitting the program again. It still seems like a bug.
