asked on

user cannot connect to email internally with mac email client

We have one client that has a SBS2011 with Exchange 2010.

One of the users decides they want to use a mac in the environment for external use and internal.

They use the built in email app that buit into the ios OS.

I have added A records on the server DNS for remote.domain.com pointing to the exchange servers IP address.

DO I need to add anything else because it still does not work.

I have the internal and external server settings on the app to both remote.domain.com

How did you configured your local DNS .COM or something else?

Our local DNS is domain.local
I have a DNS entry of remote.domain.com pointing to the IP address of the exchange server in the forward lookup zone.
I think ill just turn to Microsoft support on this.
Can you clarify, is this on a Mac, and they are using Apple Mail, or on an iPhone or iPad, and using iOS? You seem to mention both. And what versions please?

In any case, I agree with Scott, enable IMAP on your server, and let the Mac or IOS user connect that way. It works just fine, albeit some issues with calendar syncing.
apple mail on MacBook.

they use calendar all the time cant afford calendar issues
If they want seamless integration with exchange then Mac office and outlook...
Or use outlook web access.
