I am using a MacBook Air (M2) running Sonoma 14.1.2 (updated to this version 1/12/2023) but have been running Sonoma since it released in Sept/Oct 2023.
My Grommunio install was a fresh VM built on Proxmox V8 cluster from the November 2026 appliance ISO. This was the first ISO that seemed to install with all the correct repos for OpenSuSE 15.5. To avoid any possible database corruption from my previous install (not that I was aware of any), I exported my 2 mailboxes from Outlook 2016 into PST files. These PST files were then imported via Outlook 2016 into the newly created Grommunio install using the Same Org, Domain and User accounts. Once I had checked all was working OK in the new Grommunio build, I started using this new VM as my live Grommunio server. All works fine here, expcept it is a bit slow in the Web app when changing folders or opening some HTML emails.
I then created and added the required 3 lines to the /etc/gromox/ews.cfg file:-
ews_beta=1
smtp_server_ip=::1
smtp_server_port=25
Opening a fully cleaned out Mac Mail (deleted all data folders, MailData and V10, in Library/Mail). I added my mailbox credentials, selecting onlu eMail. and all looked good. Mail was imported (mailbox is about 1.5GB with 14,000 items).
I then tried to delete an email in Mac Mail and it crashed immediately. I could then not re-open it as it would crash immediately. I found if I went to GR Web and deleted the email there, Mac mail would once again open, however, I would then receive the splash screen as follows:-
The message “blah-blah-blah” could not be moved to the mailbox “Exchange”
E-3187: item not found
The error is as expected as it has now been removed via GE Web, however, the deleted email is still shown in Mac mail but is no longer in the Grommunio mailbox!! However, this ‘phantom’ message cannot be removed from Mac Mail without doing a ‘Mailbox Rebuild’.
'Mail sending' started to work with the update I applied from Friday 1/12/23. Thanks for getting this working.
I have been applying the daily updates through the last week hoping that this issue would be resolved and I could continue testing the Mac Mail functionality. This mornings update still has the same issues as I have reported previously Mister2 .
My Mac mail version is Version 16.0 (3774.200.91.1.1) and my current Grommunio versions (as of 12:00 today - 03-12-23) are:-

I have also found that eMails deleted using Grommunio Web (and other Activesync clients) are not deleted from my Mac Mail mailbox, even after performing a 'Synchronise "Exchange"' which should at least refresh the displayed mailbox to match that of the server. As with the Mac Mail deleted emails, only a rebuild will re-sync the mail in Mac Mail.
If any further info is required, please advise what would be helpful. I am not very fluent with Linux so CLI commands would help to expedite the requests more quickly.
All the above is provided to help the developers make this long awaited addition to Grommunio fully functional to all users. Getting something this complex to work in all the various combinations of OS and mail clients is never going to be easy and will take time to get it working in the multitude of combinations. The recent upgrade to Sonoma 14.1.2 has no doubt thrown another ’spanner in the works’. I fully appreciate the hard work and effort of the developers are bringing the EWS functionality to Grommunio, and that we are still in the early days of the EWS Beta. Please keep up the good work (and development), I and many others on this forum really appreciate all your hard work.
Best Regards
Mark
