Q: 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)

    One-way one-time conversion is feasible, if there's not too many MS-specific features in the documents. It's the continous interchanging use of MS and non-MS Office is what is impossible at this point.

    You do realise that your opinion is of no importance whatsoever, don't you?

    Inconvenient yes, not impossible. As a retired person sending out the odd report to sports club members, I use entirely iwork, and convert only when I send out. 

    Were I still working and my employers even allowed me to use Mac (my actual employers of 35 years would never have allowed it!) I would get Office for Mac again.

    You are just a stranger on the internet, I don't have an opinion about you, nor do I need to.

    But you clearly showed that you don't know what you are talking about.

    If that's your only use-case, of course it's possible. But if it was a mildly complex document, which has to be edited by the MS Office users, then by iWork users, then MS Office users again - the problems will become visible real quick.

    Are you a child, or don't you remember what you just posted.

     

    We're done, good luck with helping people, it is clear you have had limited success so far.

    No, it's not my opinion. It's a conclusion based on the ******** you are spewing.

    A choice was offered but you seem unable to discern between offering a choice, or not.

    Yeah, speaking about opinions...

    Agreed, in the current real world work environment it has to be MS Office,

    Fellows, please stop these childish conversations. This is a serious message board for people interested in finding a solution to Maverickas and Exchange related issues.

     

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    For anyone able to, I suggest configuring Mail.app to connect to your Exchange server as IMAP. Delete the Exchange account from Mail.app, then create a new IMAP account. If your Exchange server doesn't allow IMAP connections then this won't work, but ours here is allowing it for iPhone e-mail etc. and so allows Mail.app to work. I used NTLM authentication for the IMAP and Password authentication for the SMTP. Now my e-mail arrives on my screen the split second it's sent.

    I agree that if you can not get an Exchange account to work Imap (if available) is the best alternative. Might need a chat with the IT dept though.

     

    Or use Touchdown and Exchange ActiveSync (same as an iPhone or iPad)

    I have stopped searching for a solution for Apple Mail/Exchange/Maverick...."Mail" stopped working properly the minute I "upgraded" to Maverick...while e-mail software on iphone or iPad work perfectly with exchange...so why bother fiddling with Exchange server parameters??

     

     

    My exchange server (OVH) offers "Outlook Web App" and I have been using it ever since on my MacBook Pro: any change done is instantly synchonized on my iPhone and iPad...

     

     

    For all small businesses who are desperate or do not want to spend hours finding a fix...this could help until Mr Cook goes into the Mail kitchen and fixes the recipe...

     

    Please Mr Cook, the apple crumble on Mail/Exchange/Maverick is not edible and your clients are getting sick...and fleeing to the Microsoft restaurant!

    Because your IOS devices do not connect to the Exchange Server in the same manner that your Mac does. One uses EWS, the other uses Active Sync. Different servers, differing settings.

    All but the oldest Exchange servers offer web access.
