Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
arable Jun 12, 2015 6:41 AM (in response to jcrupi)Yes. I am having the same problem. My old exchange account would not work so I removed so I could add it back in. Now when I try to add it in I get "Unable to verify account name or password."

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange

a workaround is to use the outlook app. It works.
That make the native IOS client bug more obvious.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
Frith Jun 14, 2015 9:55 PM (in response to jcrupi)Yes I have the same problem.
Am not receiving any Exchange emails since installing beta of El Capitan.
Messages composed and "sent" sit in an outgoing mail folder - but the recipients say they receive them.
Mail for my Exchange account is received with no problem on all IOS devices (phone, iPad mini, iPad).
Thanks for the heads up on the delete and reinstall the Exchange account issues. I was just about to do this but won't now and will use webmail until Apple fixes the problem.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
ethankaplan Jun 15, 2015 7:23 AM (in response to jcrupi)Exchange email works OK, and on two computers the exchange calendar shows, but on one it only shows until I open Mail, then it disappears forever. The files are there in ~/Library/Calendars but it doesn't show in Calendar app.
Filing a radar.
Beta 1!

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
Frith Jun 15, 2015 9:19 PM (in response to ethankaplan)I deleted my Exchange account and successfully reinstalled it. The only issue now is that it only loads the emails since installing El Capitan - the olded ones don't load (but are on the server because I can access them with webmail).

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
karo2204 Jun 23, 2015 9:42 PM (in response to ajbrutico)I have the same problem. I don't know what to put in the external and internal URL field. On iPad and iPhone the Exchange Account is working fine.
Hope someone finds a solution, because I like to use mail again and Outlook is not good.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
ccs Jun 24, 2015 12:03 AM (in response to jcrupi)Similar issue here:
I lost a working exchange account during the update from DP1 to DP2 and cannot add it again, neitehr in the internet account settings nor in any app using the 'add account' menu entry.
When I add my name, email address and password the system pretends to check, but even entering wrong information (wrong email address or password) won't return an error.
I also have this account configured on antother Mac (10.10) and two iOS devices (on 8.3 and 9 beta 2) where the account works, however the account configuration is not synced over iCloud.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
ccs Jun 24, 2015 12:08 AM (in response to ccs)Now I was able to set it up again:
- Attempt to add a completely arbitrary account, that does not even exist
- the dialog will change, so you can also enter the user name in addition to email address
- change all information to point to the exchange account you want to use
- set the user name to domain\user name
That worked for me, in the next screen I was able to select the services the account is offering (mail, calender, contacts, etc.)

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
mfero Oct 18, 2015 10:16 PM (in response to ccs)I also have the problem of being unable to setup and Exchange account on Mac OS running El Capitan and Yosemite, however it auto-configures fine on my iOS devices. The tip by CCS, above, solved my problem. I just had to configure a new Exchange account using DOMAIN\Username as the username when setting up the account. Everything then automatically configured itself and it works fine.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
makronomic Jun 24, 2015 6:06 AM (in response to jcrupi)Same problem on my side
I have 7 POP accounts - all proper workingIf I activate one of mine 5 Exchange accounts Mail crashes - but new is a new Window which appears before the crash.
This windows asks me if Mail should proceed OR crash with crashlog to Apple. If I select crash it is like it always was. If I select proceed then Mail does not crash, but also not work. Totally frozen. Always.
As I mentioned it also at Beta 1 - it is a shame of the MAIL department to release always Beta versions were Active Sync and Exchange Integration does not work - so it is always stupid for developers to use the Beta because of missing company email accounts. And not every dev has two mac´s.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
Lips2000 Jul 4, 2015 7:50 AM (in response to jcrupi)Same here. Exactly the same issue.
Once I get the "Failed to validate" message, I am presented with the manual setup. It fails as well.
Noticed someone on a another thread they can add Exchange account without connecting. I would like to see that!
It's definitely broken...guess I have to wait for DP3.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
whirlynerd Sep 26, 2015 7:33 AM (in response to whitepatrick69)I'm running the GM Candidate and I found that opening mail and starting a new message, my Exchange account wasn't available as a "From" address. But when I'm actually in a folder on that account (i.e. the Exhange inbox, but not the combined iCloud/Exchange inbox), if I start a new email, the Exchange account is an option to send from and it does actually work now.

whitepatrick69 Jul 10, 2015 7:00 AM (in response to jannolii)note - i have a coworker running PB1 and he had no problems with his exchange account. he hasn't tried to add one - but he is able to send emails and his exchange server is showing up as his outgoing server. i wasn't able to, and my account was showing no outgoing server, and i wasn't able to choose one, which was the reason i deleted the account and tried to re-add it.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
jcurle Aug 3, 2015 3:47 AM (in response to jcrupi)I have an office 365 account with exchange and was also experiencing the problem of "Unable to verify account name or password". It would be worth adding that I also have two factor authentiction enabled for all users on the domain.
None of the solutions on this page worked.
I did manage to get the account set up by using an 'application specific password' which I created from here
https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/AppPasswords.aspx
Everything works as expected in Mail, Calendar and Outlook 2016.
Hope this helps even a few people get over this hurdle.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange

fonnesbeck Aug 9, 2015 1:37 PM (in response to jcrupi)<rant>This thread is a perfect example of this Apple Developer Forum's biggest problem: someone reports an issue, followed by a litany of posts that report the same problem, and ending with no actual solution. Folks, once the issue is reported, there is absolutely no marginal benefit to affirming that you, too, have the problem. It just adds to the noise and clutter. If you don't have *new* information or a potential solution, please don't post a "me too".

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
Greenhelmet Sep 13, 2015 1:39 AM (in response to jcrupi)I may have a workaround.
I too was unable to add my office 365 account back in to internet accounts on El Capitan.
The following did work thoough:
After it fails initially, you are presented with the option to select username and email address separately:
I set my email address to my office 365 primary address as normal ... eg john@mydomain.com
I set the username to john@jmydomain.onmicrosoft.com
Obviously substitute john and mydomain with your actual username and domain.
I hope this works for someone.

Re: Unable to configure Mail Account to Exchange
Ralphive Oct 15, 2015 8:44 AM (in response to jcrupi)Here is how I solve it, following some instrunctions here:
Enter a very basic information when adding a Exchange account (not even a valid email)
Like this:
http://i.imgur.com/6axTnVo.png
It will open the fields so you can fill your server information (which seems to be the cause of the errors, since OSX is not resolving it properly)

No i got it working
