Discussion:
Configuring Exchange mail in TB! - How?

Hello Tbudl,

I usually use POP3, but I have a new email address and the
organisation gave me the log-in credentials:

Website
User Name
Password

Going to that website, I get a screen that says something about
Outlook Web Access, and the login and password work.

Trying to set this up in TB! as follows gives me the following error
16-Feb-17, 08:20:01: https://xxxxx.org.uk; start the connect, userid:xxx\thomas.fernandez
16-Feb-17, 08:20:01: https://xxxxx.org.uk; touch the inbox, userid: xxx\thomas.fernandez
16-Feb-17, 08:20:04: EWS:TreatErrors1: EwsFacade.cpp(1097) EwsFacade::LoadFolder: Error 3 fault: Client-side error "Validation constraint violation: tag name or namespace mismatch in element 'html'"
!16-Feb-17, 08:20:04: endpoint: https://xxxxx.org.uk; userid: xxx\thomas.fernandez; EwsFacade.cpp(1097) EwsFacade::LoadFolder: Error 3 fault: Client-side error "Validation constraint violation: tag name or namespace mismatch in element 'html'"; LibHandle: 1538523136
!16-Feb-17, 08:20:04: Cannot connect to the server. Server name "https://xxxxx.org.uk" or account name "xxx\thomas.fernandez" were not accepted while configuring the message service.

I have replaced some letters with x'es for privacy reasons. Anyway,
what am I doing wrong?

Note: For Protcol Type, I chose "Exchange Web Services" when creating
the account.

Cheers,
Thomas.

Thanks, but what would it look like if you use TB! with an Exchange
server?

I also saw that there are two options when setting up an Exchange
email account in TB!:

Exchange Web Services
MAPI (Microsoft Exchange)

Which is for what?

https://webmail.xdomainx.net/ews/exchange.asmx is the server I had to
define when I set up my exchange account two weeks ago . It worked
some month ago but (as you can read n the beta-list) in november I had
to remove this account from TB because of constant crashes. The
account was set to get new mail every 60 min and I could not change
this fast enough. Actually I use a new EWS.dll Maxim sent me and this
behaviour persists. (But in defining the account newly I could set it
to prevent check at start-up)

When I first defined the exchange account in summer, TB was able to
find the exchange server itself, although the TLD is different from
the TLD of my address (.de <-> .net). Perhaps that is due to a server
config.

I have all tickmarks marked on the file associations, and none of them

Perhaps. My version is the venerable 4.2.44.2. I have a long

It is The Bat! installer (MSI) that sets up the Simple MAPI handler. Moreover, since Windows Vista, the Windows System folder is by default protected, so this button would have been unable to copy the DLL handler there.

No, Simple Mapi is just an interface which allow applications like MS Word, Internet Explorer, Adobe Reader, etc. to send email messages. They still use Simple Mapi.

An application loads mapi32.dll from Windows system directory, which is just a stub, that, in its turn, looks for a default Simple Mapi handler via registry, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail

Fair enough. What I had read said Simple MAPI was deprecated in favour
of Enhanced MAPI.

It is not deprecated, they are different protocols. Simple MAPI allows to send an email (with an attachment) from any application, while Extended MAPI allows accessing message stores (folders with mail messages).

The MAPI association has to be set in windows standard applications. If
you open it and choose 'define standards' you will see TB! as standard
for all datatypes and protocols and below two entries for 32-bit and
64-bit The Bat! Simple MAPI.

I don't see MAPI under "Choose applications by protocol" but can
see The Bat! and the two "The Bat! Simple MAPI" entries under "Set

Is it best to select "URL mailto protocol" and "MAPI Send email command"

It is better to select just "The Bat!", not "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit".

The problem is that even under 64-bit Windows, the Mapi Stub DLL calls fixmapi.exe which is a 32-bit application and expects the final MAPI dll to be 32-bit, that's why "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit" wont' work under Windows 64. But in case of applications call it directly (I don't know such), we have also implemented "The Bat! Simple MAPI 64-bit".

Windows 10 has a nasty habit of resetting file associations to the
"Microsoft defaults". I am having this issue with PDFs. First they get
reassociated with Edge, Look for EdgeBlocker - this stops Edge
starting, but then they get reassociated with TWINUI after some
unpredictable time of setting it back to what it should be. That works
for a while, but eventually it gets reset.

Try setting the association through Control Panel -> Default
applications - that's the only way to get the association to stick
with a program.

I have done this using both "default applications" and the file
extensions in both "Settings" and even Cobtrol Panel. They stick for
a while, but then they get reset again. I'm not sure how long exactly,
but I think within one hour.

I have only noticed it with PDFs, but wnen doing Google and similar
searches ti try find a solution, it happens with others.

I never double click on anything anyway, but it gets annoying when I
view the PDF attachment in the mail I am about to send to make
sure it is the right one and have to reset again. PDFs are the only
files I attach directly. I put any others in a Zip or Rar so that
there is only one attachment per mail.

I get this with some wifi accesses. You have to start a web browser
first and do that login. Afterwards your email client should work
normally.

Some providers try to make you use the webmail. But if you can find
the right person, they can give you a normal POP access so that you can
use an email client for that email address rather than web browsers.
Webmail is a pain as you have to cc yourself / forward / redirect to
a normal email address for every message, otherwise
you have no record.

With public wifi access points they sometimes call this a "captured
portal". Thecloud.net is a common example encountered in UK pubs and
cafes and some railway stations. I've not personally encountered this
for email access, the closest I have seen is requiring that you check
for incoming mail before being allowed to send ("POP before SMTP").

And just maybe you can find the POP/SMTP/IMAP servers with a bit of
googling (or searching user forums), unless they are actually not
enabled.

Webmail is a pain as you have to cc yourself /
forward / redirect to
a normal email address for every message, otherwise
you have no record.
Isn't the point of webmail-only services that all records are on their
servers, so that they can serve advertising when you want to read
messages (or sell information to the highest bidder)?

Some providers try to make you use the webmail. But if you can find
the right person, they can give you a normal POP access so that you
can use an email client for that email address rather than web
browsers.
And just maybe you can find the POP/SMTP/IMAP servers with a bit of
googling (or searching user forums), unless they are actually not
enabled.
Thanks for the idea. I googled, but did not find anything.

It's an NGO, they don't place ads on their mail server. Somebody
probably told them Exchange is the way to go, and people who use
Outlook have no problems. I do believe that TB! can handle this
protocol too. I just don't know how.

I get this with some wifi accesses. You have to start a web browser
first and do that login. Afterwards your email client should work
normally.
Tried that, but it didn't help.

I asked for a POP access. Instead, they gave me these for an Exchange
client:

Select Microsoft Exchange Account;
Domain: \thomas.fernandez
Exchange server: xxx.org.uk

Domain? TB! does not ask for that...

I change the mail server to this URL, and TB! connected! Thanks, we
are one step further.

However, then the status remained "Initializing..." forever.

However, then the status remained "Initializing..." forever.
This was only for the first-time connection, as all sorts of folders
were downloaded. I found the setting to ignore these, and on the next
connection, all folders that I did not want were deleted from my PC
again.

So, all is fine! Thanks for the tip with the URL.

TB! checks mail every 10 minutes as requested, but I cannot find the
setting for "combined send and receive" as I have with POP accounts.
So I need to hit "Send" manually every time I write an email. Did I
miss something?

What do you hit instead of "Send" to tell TB! you have finished
composing a message in the event you auto-send every x minutes?

I always hit "Out message in Outbox". This way, the message gets sent
in the background.
