cannot setup exchange 2010 mail server on mac mail

Hi
when you add a new account. you know first you write your email and password. next window, you will see Account Type: choose "Exchange" not IMAP. then for  
Incoming Mali server, check your email options on the browser using hotmail website, you will find like External IMAP setting:      (Server name). copy the server name and post on Incoming Mali server
after that write your email correctly on User Name and Password
ex:
Account Type: Exchange
Incoming Mail Server : ipod50016.outlook.com
User Name: spac@example.edu
Passwored: 000

Hopefully that helps you

Have you set up that Exchange server on any other computer (not phone or any other device  or IMAP)? Unless the server is properly configured, it will not work outside of the LAN where the server is. To have it working over WAN, you have to do quite a few things (Outlook Anywhere, autodiscover, and firewall ports to name just a few).

Exchange server works on many computers (windows OS) with exchange over http option in connection settings. So the only way is to open all these ports required to use it on my mac ? why its working without issues on my iOS devices?

have you tried what I told you?

where you are stuck?

If it's working on Windows PC's over WAN, then it should work on the Mac as well. iOS and any other mobile device doesn't connect the same way as the PC. They use ActiveSync, which runs over HTTPS port 443, so no special configuration is necessary. But since other PCs are already running, then your server is already set up. But it sounds like you don'thave Autodiscover set up for that server, so all the HTTP (Outlook Anywhere) settings need to be entered manually. It sounds like all you have to do is choose manual setup on your Mac, and copy all those HTTP settings from a PC that's working.

Hello,

PCANW I have missed the hotmail part. What hotmail has to do with it ? do you want me to get the exact server name ? I can do that from exchange remote desktop. I have already tried that (exchange.corp.extend.gr and exchange.ams.extend.local)

btdownloads7 its working on windows only with over http option

I have configured the exchange server so it is possible to do all necessary server settings. The one thing I dont want to, is to open all these ports needed for exchange server.

So since mobile devices are working with 443 port, I think that in my case the problem is that only this port is open (and of course 110,25,143 and 80)

I think that mail for mac cannot be configured like outlook on windows (over http) so ... my only solution is to open ports or live with IMAP :)

If the Windows PCs can use Outlook over WAN (not LAN), then al the necessary ports are already open. So, you should be able to set up your Mac's Outlook the same way with no problem

My exchange server is not on the lan ISA, TMG, EXCHANGE SERVER and DCs are located in our hosting provider.

 btdownloads7 I have read that mac mail will not work with exchange over http settings. If you have any idea how I can do it, please let me know, I can attach the windows working configuration if you would like

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about Mac Mail. I was talking about Outlook 2011 for Mac. There is no other way to get Exchange working natively on a Mac.
