Exchange under Mountain Lion

Appears to be when an existing Exchange account exists when you uograde to ML.

Anyway, try this:

Shutdown Mac Mail.

Go to /Library/ in Finder and copy and delete the Mail Folder (make a copy of it somewhere before hand). This folder will be under your User Profile (ie /Users/<username>)

Go to Preferences, then Mail and Contacts and then highlight the Exchange account and delete it.

Go to /Library/Cache/ folder and delete all the contents under it.

Go to /Library/Cookies/ folder and delete all the contents under it.

Go to /Library/Saved Application State/ folder and delete all the contents under it.

Reboot

Go to Mac Mail and recreate the account

Let me know if that helps.

Forgot to mention, before deleting the /Library/Mail folder, delete the exchange account under Preferences>Mail and Contacts.

Hi Ondray, I tried your hint but it didn't work. After many tries, the only thing that worked is to set up the account as a POP account... It fixed the problem for me.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your advice.

I read that they are 'monitoring' this post, but it seems that they do not have any response thus solution to the issue. I called apple support and it seems to me they push away the issue to Microsoft. 'We can not fix an exchange issue, as this is a Microsoft problem' and 'Probably Microsoft does not have an updated version of exchange after Mountain Lion has been introduced.'

It seems that there are a lot of solutions to this problem, but should there not be a 'one for all' solution? The OS is the same for all machines, no...?

Please Apple, communicate!

This workaround has been working for me pretty well for a day or so now - even after closing Mail app. putting the system to sleep, etc. Thank you norwenkel!

Small issue: In going to my work e-mail via the work web-site entry, I've noticed that a few of the older messages in the Inbox DID NOT transfer into the Mail app. But, I'm getting new stuff and sending e-mails. It is something where before there was nothing, so until those who truly know what they are doing get Mail to do what it is supposed to do.

😎

For the record I was referring to the post below as one which has provided me with some functionality:

hi

I think i have found the problem!

in the mail account settings, the internal dns-suffix change automatical to .local - this could be a problem if your domain don´t ends with .local.

so my work-around for this case, i make a entry in the local host file on my mac.

exchange ip address - domain.local

and now it works fine!

It seems like the replies go back and forth between Mail and Outlook. I'm using Outlook 2011. Does anyone a work around for that guy??????

Maybe apple got somthing on this log!!

My testing

Mac mail works great to exchange 2010 (only 1 account, a second account same server creates problem with dissapearing mails and or folders)

after adding work mail witch is on exchange 2007 it would not connect

my solution!

Remove-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory

Remove-WebServicesVirtualDirectory

then recreated!

New-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName 'Default Web Site' -InternalUrl .......

New-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -WebsiteName 'Default Web Site' -InternalUrl .......

mail has directly started to sync

no host file tweak

hopefully this second account on a different exchange won't cause problem dissapearing mails or folders

2012-08-08 20:12:44.193 Mail[2058:707] No existing source with identifier: 879044AD-AEBC-422B-B59B-E5355D6DB9A6

Could not open job overrides database at: /private/var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.501/overrides.plist: 1: Operation not permitted

launch_msg(): Socket is not connected

It seems that I may have found one solution (it is working fine since 2 hours so far). I just changed the user name that was autmatically set up by Mail during creation of the account.

Say I am called John Fleet, that my email is John Fleet@mycompany.com.

When openning the Preference Pane under Mail and go to my exchange account, I see the following

Internal Server: autodiscover.mycompany.com

External Server: autodiscover.mycompany.com

User Name:john.fleet

Paswword: xxxxx (the password I enterered)

The issue is that my user name to connect my company system (we use SSO under windwos) is not john.fleet but jfleet.

I just revert the User Name to jfleet and since then everything is working fine.

I did the same in Calendar App to get acces to my Exchange calendar

Hope this may help some of you guys.

Just trying to clarify, but are you using Mail or Outlook?

Apple version 6.0 to get access to my Corporate Exchange account

Martin, Woukld you mind explain more ?
