Exchange under Mountain Lion

Ithomas27. Does this also fix the problems with dissapering folders and emails for you?

There better be a fix soon rather than a workaround. Why do I have to delve into the depths of my Exchange server configuration when it was working perfectly under snow leopard? I regret upgrading.

Just tried this. Exchange seems to sync. BUT I can't see The emails because emails and folders are still dissapering.

This is for lthomas27

To bad you did not take te time to read te discussions!!!

Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.

Mountain Lion is broken!!!

Apple knows that its up to them to come up with a solution.

This has been the last time that i rush in to a software update from Apple.

Not sure what you mean there Peter.

You only read up on things when you have an issue. I've been reading since page 3 and I did read the previous posts!!!

I agree, it's Apples problem and ML is broken!

Sorry chumf

This was my reaction to lthomas27 post!!

I posted earlier on this, am updating that post now.

The described MountainLion/Exchange problem was in effect for me at home from the first day of installing MountainLion. Did the etc/hosts trick and things improved slightly, but still very erratic. Went on away on vacation for a week and moved to a different internet connection and wireless router, and lo and behold, things worked. Just came home to my old connection and wireless router, and I'm back to erratic-ville. Slow, sometimes not at all, long delays on closing Mail app, etc etc.

The problematic setup: Apple Time Capsule Airport router, Comcast cable modem connection

The good setup: D-Link router, Cox cable modem connection

Everything else was static: same MacBookPro 2.4i7 laptop, same ML system, same Exchange server, same same same.

Hope this helps someone at Apple who might be working on this. Everyone else, please don't take this as a comment on good or bad hardware brands. Not trying to tweak anyone. It's a simple diagnostic I'm trying to describe. Let's stay constructive.

I should probably also add that I use OpenDNS for my default DNS server at home. I haven't testing or tried any modifications there, so I have no idea if it has anything to do with anything. But it is a third variable to add to the ISP and router variables named above.

Hi everybody,

I had a similar problem already under Lion: impossible to connect to Exchange server with Mail.

After a LONG search, the following works for me:

In the advanced settings of Mail account, for the internal and external server path I wrote "ews/Exchange.asmx" with ews in lower case instead of EWS as proposed by default.

If it can help somebody...

Hello,

same problem here. I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Under Snow Leopard I had absolutely no problems connecting to Exchange Server 2010. Under Mountain Lion nothing works (tried "etc/hosts" solution, "domain\username" solution, etc. ... all without success).

I hope Apple will fix this very soon.

As mentioned already, Mac Mail does support multiple MS Exchange accounts. I can confirm. I currently have two operable. I also have mutliple Exchange accounts on my iOS devices. In terms of MS Outlook, I don't know about the Mac version, but depending on what Window's version you have, it too supports multiple Exchange accounts.

Outlook 2010 does, all lesser versions (2003/2007 etc) don't.

Itrueb,

Many, many thanks! Your fix worked for me. I didn't have the problem in Lion but it surfaced in Mountain Lion... Again, thanks for the help.

I was wrong... It does NOT work! Every time I restart it returms to the original address.

I got a call back from Apple today on the email I sent to TIm Cook last week. They are aware of the issue and are monitoring this thread, but at present have no fix for either issue, the bug that came with Lion, nor the one that came with Mountian Lion. The jist of the convo was basically just wait for fix. If they could just fix the disappearing folders bug I would be happy, but it doesn't sound like they are going to get that one fixed ever.

Well, I know a fix for Exchange in ML:

Exchange in Lion.

Whatever they did to update it in ML caused this error, so it seems like it would be a no-brainer to go back.
