Since the update to 10.8.4 I am no longer able to connect to my exchange server"
Could not connect to this exchange server. Check your network connection..."
THe information in the account hasn't changed from what it was before the update.
What do I do now?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
I have the same after upgrading to 10.8.4 but only for the calendar. Apparently there was supposed to be a fix for Exchange calendar in the update, but it only seems to have broken things for me, it all worked perfectly on 10.8.3.

Have you installed the latest MS Office / Outlook patches? Also, do you have a proxy of any type running? If so, can you try disabling it?
Calendar and Exchange support are separate from any MS products being installed. Calendar is an inbuilt app in OS X, so has no bearing on whether they're installed or not.

No office installed on the Mac anyway. It just quit working.
Remove the Exchange account (in Mail, Contacts and Calendars), reboot and replace it.
Just tried deleting the accounts from those and rebooting. When I enter the new info for the account it still says that it can't connect to the exchange server. Sigh. THe iphone connection is working fine, so I know it's not on the exchange box, but something to do with this latet update I guess.
Any other thoughts?
In my case the update of my MacBook just felt together with an exchange server update. The reason for not beeing able to access my mails was the exchange server update, or more detailed EWS update. Our admins were able to fix it.
I have the same problem. The strange thing is that using google Chrome to go to Exchange (see below) I get a reply, but not using Safari, Mail, Calander, Contacts or Notes. What could that be?
Same thing for me! No connection. Works fine in browser, and network admin has no clue! Please post solution if found!
Have your IT guy check that the Exchange Auto Discover settings are correct at his end.
Are only certain versions of exchange supported? After digging through forums all night I came across a post that said that only Exchange 2007+ are supported in the native mail.app. I contacted our network people and we are running 2003, so I am starting to think that maybe thats the problem Im running into. We are due to update within the next couple of weeks so ill just wait and see! I'd check my network about server version and ask if an update is forthcoming!
Exchange 2003 is not supported. Exchange 2007 (service pack 1, rollup 4) is the oldest supported version.
I am still having this same issue. Anyone find a solution? Using Exchange 2007 and my exchange mail account works fine on my iPad but intermittantly stops working on my Mac Pro where I'm using Mountain Lion.
I'm also having the same issue. We have Exchange 2010 in the back. My Apple Mail (with Auto-discovery checked) works fine, but the Cal app has stopped working.
However, the Calendar app refuses connection (prompts for password and doesn't take it). Looking in preferences for Cal, the server name is picked up and same as the auto-discovery.
I have tried to unchecked the Calendar option from the Account and re-enabled. Same thing.
Same problem for me. I can sync my exchange calendar, contacts and mail in both iPhone 5 and iPad 1st gen but not on my Macbook air (Mountain Lion 10.8.4). I've tried everything conceivable. We really need this resolved asap.
