Exchange servers and Mavericks Mail

It loads it when you open the Mail app, but then no new messages will appear in the Exchange inbox while app is open - fetch new mail and the Activity Window show "Synchronizing Inbox" and jsut sits there and waits.. Close the app and reopen - New Mail appears. Another bug?

Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Mavericks' Mail Update for Gmail actually seems to have made the problem worse.😢


Any Sent email to oneself does not register in the Sent folder!

A send to yourself email can be made to appear in the Inbox by restarting Mail or changing and saving the account details. ie any action foecing a sync / read. Apple Mail in Mavericks is broken as far as Exchange is concerned.😠

I'm also experiencing all the issues mentioned in this thread.


I want to first say, just so everyone is clear, Apple Mail does NOT support push mail for Exchange. In fact NO desktop Exchange client (on any version) supports push mail, not even Outlook 2011. Apple Mail uses EWS (Exchange Web Services) which is different from ActiveSync, which iOS and other mobile clients use.


This bug is really just poor software engineering in Apple Mail, and needs to be addressed by Apple immedietly.

my exchange account has stopped working since i did the update, +update to mavericks, have done the every 5 mins, have rebuilt, but no mail appears in the account.. i am in the middle of a big project so am relying on my iphone which is running on old software and working fine. I have been advised that i need to delete my accounts (which i can only do thrrough icloud which will then delete the account from all my devices) and start again. I have also been advised that i risk losing stuff. i bitterly regret udating my software, every thing worked fine, now in the middle of a big project i can only use my iphone to communicate. The staff at apple seem to be clueless as well i even had a support guy on my desktop trying to resolve it, and his solution was delete everything and start again. The first rebuild took 2 days to sync up.
