Moin Moin, seit Update iPhone SE (Gen3) auf iOS15.7. und dann iOS16.0.2 Probleme mit Mail-Abruf von einem Exchange-Server. Andauernd Account-Fehler mit Fehlermeldung "E-Mails können nicht empfangen werden. Die Verbindung mit dem Server ist fehlgeschlagen". Account wurde bereits neu angelegt, aber immer wieder die Fehlermeldungen oben. In Accounts ist bei Datenabgleich Push und Abrufen eingestellt. Im OWA des Exchange-Accounts wird das iPhone bei Mobile Geräte angezeigt und wurde angeblich auch synchronisiert. Nach Entfernung des iPhone aus der Mobile Geräte-Liste

Im Prinzip die gleichen Probleme für ein iPad nach Update auf iPadOS15.7. Nach Entfernung des iPad im OWA bei Mobile Geräte erscheint das aber gleich wieder in der Liste. Was ist da los? Mal wieder Probleme zwischen einem neuen iOS und Exchange? Danke für die Hilfe
Wenn e-Mails geladen werden, dann oftmals ohne Inhalt und Meldung "Diese Nachricht wurde nicht vom Server
geladen".
Das iPhone erscheint nach Neustart auch nicht mehr in
der Mobile Geräte-Liste.
