exchange stops syncing

Same here, but I'm running mail.app with Gmail as IMAP. It is killing my productivity. I have to constantly shutdown and startup mail again to get it to retrieve messages.

Then you don't have an Exchange problem.

Running into the same issue here. I was hoping to get away from Entourage, but for now I'm stuck with it. Mail.app continuously stops syncing mail with our Exchange server. Like others have stated, I need to quit and start Mail several times before it continues to sync. A few hours after getting it to work, syncing will stop once again. This issue is not isolated to myself, all users of Snow Leopard at work run into the exact same issue.

I'm quite surprised Apple has not addressed/fixed this bug.

Is this Exchange 2003?

It is Exchange 2007 in my case.

I have the same issue. My mail stopped working with Exchange 2010 just like that as Office for mac Outlook2011 is still woriking fine.

I am running Macbook Pro 15" model 2007 Lion 10.7.3

Mail v5.2 (1257)

Conenction doctor report no errors my inbox remains empty and the Sync icon keeps spinning.

Mail does sync with gmail and icloud.

I'm surprised Apple did not provide a fix to this bug yet.

I seem to have fixed this issue...

In finder, click GO and hold down OPTION to reveal LIBRARY.

Go to MAIL. Delete the V2 directory. Note: this removes all previous settings in mail and you need to set up your accounts again from the beginning.

Open the MAIL.app and it will do some migrating this for a while. Have a beer. Come back and then set up your accounts again. Has been working for a few days now without losing connect (Server 2008 account)

I made a support call and was handed up to a senior Mail engineer and was told that Apple Mail does not support exchange 2009. It only supports up to 2007 EWS Server. He mentioned the rollout version but I cant read my writing-was kinda ******. Apple sometimes does the stupidest stuff. I dont get it.

Here is the article he refernced; HT3748

He didnt have an answer wether or not mountain Lion would support exhange or not.

Sorry about the bad news but here we are.

Sorry but here we are not,

There is no such thing as Exchange 2009, and Lion supports all versions of Exchange from 2007 R1 to date, your 'Senior Mai Engineer' has no idea what he is talking about.

Oh my, how embarrasing. My account was named exchange 2009 so CSound is right. I do have his email addy so I'll shoot him a note saying that I was incorrect.

Thanks for the hope and sorry for the mispost.

OK new update-I had the IT guy reset my certificates. SO far this morning all has been working well!

I had exactly the same problem after migrating from Snow Leopard to Lion. Mac Mail got stuck several times per day when syncing with Exchange. I removed the V2 folder and it seems to work smoothly for two days now.

Thanks !

I can report that 36 hours after removing the V2 folder, my exchange connectivity is flawless now. Previously, I would see the "Activity spinning" synchronization stuck at least every 30-45 minutes, and had been doing so for at least a month. I'll report back in a week or two - but so far it looks great.

It's been four solid days - and I haven't had a single "Mail.App stuck synchronizing" problem. My mailbox is super responsive, and it's a pleasure using Mail.app once again. So - following the instructions to remove my V2 folder (actually, just copied it to my desktop to be safe) - worked flawlessly for me after several months of continuous failures synchronizing.

Harry-where is this v2 folder?

Hey Harry

I am having similar problems with Exchange and Mac Mail.

I was wondering how things have been woking for you in the last few weeks, since deleting the V2 folder?

I'm thinking of doing the same.

Hi Ben,

I had the same problem as Harry and removing the V2 solved it completely for more than two weeks now. However, I now have a new problem which is that the anti-spam feature doesn' work anymore...
