I'm not able to send reply to mail via our company exchange server 2016 activesync, new emails work just fine. My second device is on ios 10 where this works with same emails which i'm not able reply to on ios11. This begun with beta 1 but now on beta 5 it seems, that something changed in activesync and exchange 2016 does not like it.

It may have... If you are looking for a solution, prepare for the "roll your device back" as well as the "stay off beta for production devices" comments. ;)

What version of Exchange is your company running?

Question is if somebody has the same problem or if this is just our mail server. As this begun with beta 1 i was waiting with searching for a solution, but now with beta 5 it seems its not a bug.

And as mentioned earlier exchange 2016.

Sorry, been a long morning here. I didn't notice you had said it.

That is a good question. We don't allow Beta on our devices, but it might be worth loading for testing before it gets deployed. We also have 2016 here. I will say that it could also be that they are still developing on it and that it will be fixed before it goes out to production.

Have you filed a bug report?

Yes i did.

I hope it gonna be fixed, but better to be prepared ;) Anyway i got chance to add another exchange 2016 to the phone and results are the same. So it seems there are some changes in activesync protocol which exchange 2016 doesn't like. Exchange 2010 works fine with all betas.

Mine has done that from time to time on. A reboot has always fixed it for me.

Same probleem here (on GM, Office 365). From time to time message is rejected. Reboot solves this but returns for no apparent reason.

I had this problem a few times after installing iOS 11. The message end up in the mail "Outbox". I go there and try to send it again and it goes through.

Same problem in both iPhone and iPad on the GM seed build. No need to reboot, just go to the Outbox, open a message and click Send. It might not work on the first try, but eventually it does.

Thanks for your tip. However I already tried this, sometimes up until ten times and it still would not send.

I had that happen a couple of days ago. I can usually send it from the outbox but for whatever reason it would not. Tried a reboot, still wouldn’t send. Out of frustration I went to the outbox and sent it from my personal email.

This is the only other discussion about it I could find:

https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/79446

This is going to be a disaster for enterprise when they start rolling out iOS 11 to production devices. My mind is absolutely blown that this issue exists in the GM build.
[doublepost=1505753932][/doublepost]I have logged this bug with Apple and will let you guys know what happens.

Sadly no, you'll have to wait for a client side fix from Apple, or use the Outlook for iOS app.

I resolved this by going into account settings and reentering the password. Not had any issues on the 3 exchange accounts I use since doing that.

This is happening with me as well on the GM build. I have to try multiple times to get my email through on iOS 11. My other phone is on iOS 10 and no issues.

Apple have responded!

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208136

If you can‘t send an email with iOS 11 and an Outlook.com or Exchange mail account

You might see an error message that says "Cannot Send Mail. The message was rejected by the server."


If your email account is hosted by Microsoft on Outlook.com or Office 365, or an Exchange Server 2016 CU3 running on Windows Server 2016, you might see this error message when you try to send an email with iOS 11: "Cannot Send Mail. The message was rejected by the server."

Apple is working closely with Microsoft to resolve the issue and will release a fix soon in an upcoming software update.

The Exchange team is also taking steps to mitigate this issue in O365 while a proper fix from apple is forthcoming.
