Question about Outlook Express

I have a Hazel 

rule that’s watching a folder for any file added today. When it detects a file, it runs the following Applescript: 

tell application "Microsoft Outlook" to activate

set recipientName to "Jerry"
set recipientAddress to "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"
set theSubject to "Kramer's Invoice"
set theContent to "Please find Kramer's invoice attached.

Regards,
Jerry

"
set theAttachment to theFile

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
   set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
   tell theMessage
      make new to recipient with properties {name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress}
      make new attachment with properties {file name:theAttachment} at after the last character
   end tell
end tell

For some reason when this rule is saved, it’s changing the second instance of tell application "Microsoft Outlook" to tell application "Mail”. No matter how many times I try it just keeps changing it. Any thoughts on why and how to fix would be greatly appreciated. 

Once that’s solved my goal is to introduce a date variable into both the Subject and Content of the email, i.e. I’d like the script to auto-detect the current month and populate accordingly so that ‘Kramer’s Invoice’ becomes ‘Kramer’s July Invoice’ and ‘Please find Kramer’s invoice attached’ becomes ‘Please find Kramer’s July Invoice attached’. 

Having raised this issue with the Hazel forum, I’m told it’s an Applescript issue specific to Outlook. I’ve tested the script outside of Hazel using Apple’s Script Editor and it returns an error: Expected expression, etc. but found “:”. Within the script itself, the editor is highlighting the colon after {file name:

Any thoughts on how I can resolve would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I have 2 email accounts in my Outlook 2011 for Mac.  I invoked an "Office" update (have no idea which one it was) to take place about a week ago & now my replies are messed up.  Well, it's really two issues with REPLY being the main one.  It seems as though the DEFAULT email overrides everything...even logic.

1. An email comes to the non-default account, I click reply & the default account is automatically populated, as opposed to the account where the original email was sent.  This makes no logical sense, as the sender is likely expecting a reply from the account to which their original message was sent PLUS I want to reply to the sent account.
2. When creating a new email with the account from which I want to send the email selected, the default account is automatically populated.  I would think that if either email account is highlighted and I click on "E-mail" that the new email's "from" would be populated from that account, but that is not the case.  

Any help in resolving this issue (especially the first one) would be most appreciated.  I shouldn't have to double-check email addresses for every email I send.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have the following problem.
I have IMAP mail server postfix -maximum message size is set to 37MB . From any computer I can send messages with up to such a size but not with the MacBook Pro (software version 10.10.3 ) with Outlook 2011 for Mac . If I try to send a message larger than 4 MB I get an error code -3210 . No visible errors in the server log .

Please help

I am having a problem with Outlook, specifically my sent file folder.  Recently, when I open (double click) some sent emails the following fields are all editable: To, From, Subject and Attachment.  These fields are not greyed out and I have confirmed that the em was received by all recipients.  The send button is also enabled and appears similar to BEFORE you send.

Any idea as to what could be causing this?

Thank you!

I try to use Outlook in my just upgrade MBP to El Capitan and Outlook don't work for more of 2 minutes.

Beach ball show up and the only way to stop the software is using Force to Quit.

Is the only application with problems.

Mac Outlook 2011 Version 14.5.2

I recently updated my iMac to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.4.  Since that time my Outlook has been "dumping" all emails more than three days old without any input from me.  The lost emails are not in the deleted items folder, they are just gone...  I have not reverted to the previous OS X version of Yosemite but I have reset all of my Outlook settings to default without effect.  Finally, I am using iCloud (20Gig) for storage.  

Questions - (1) Are there known incompatibilities between Mac Outlook 2011 Version 14.5.2 and Yosemite 10.10.4?  

(2) Is there a setting in Outlook that limits the time incoming emails can be stored?
