There must be a simple answer to this but I'm stumped. I have Outlook for Mac with two accounts, one a personal gmail and another an Exchange email. When I create a contact in the Mail pane, it appears to create (I have tried this multiple ways, through 'New>Contact', saving contacts from email messages). However, it does not appear in the Contacts pane and does not appear when you search (whether Address Book, Contacts, or All Folders). Nor does it appear when you try and send an email message. This is happening whether I am in either the gmail or the Exchange account. What on earth is happening?

I inadvertently deleted a subfolder and all of my other sub-folders no longer visible?

Cannot find a solution to restore folders? I know files are still here but I need adult supervision?  :-)

Dianeoforegon gave this advice for restoring emails from Time Machine:

RESTORE YOUR IDENTITY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP:

1) Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock or open it from the Applications folder.

2) Use the arrows and the timeline along the right edge of your screen to browse through the Time Machine backups. When you find the Main Identity file, select it, and then click Restore. Select to save on the Desktop.

3) Rename Main Identity on Desktop to "Restored Main Identity".

4) Drag "Restored Main Identity" to the Office 2011 Identities folder.

 ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/

5) Using Database Utility select "Restored Main Identity". Set as default then select to rebuild.

Before I try this I'd like to be clear. Do I find the Main Identity file in Documents>Microsoft User Data>Office 2011 Identities? My Office 2011 folder has a large number of identities and many Main identities. The one that comes up highlighted is from October 2013 and is not the latest modified. How do I choose the correct identity?

Second, when restored (as above) will the identity database contain ALL the emails that were in Outlook on the computer last Sunday June 28, the last known correct date before the crash?

Thanks for help.

Our small corporation uses Office 365 for email, calendar, etc. 

We set up a shared calendar (using a dummy address) for the corporate calendar with open permissions for everyone to read/write to it.  This has worked great EXCEPT for the one Mac user.  They can see the calendar, but have been unable to write into it, even when it is the only calendar open in Outlook.  Is there a way to force a new appointment in Mac Office 2011 to write to a shared calendar?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am unable to replicate a rule I was using in Entourage now that I have upgraded to Outlook 2011. The rule is if the recipient email = something then auto reply to the sender with the following text. Does not seem to be that action available. Am I missing something?
Search box has disappeared in Outlook for MAC 2016. It used to be there. I have checked View options and nothing there.

I am facing an issue with syncing my Exchange email on MS Outlook. It redirects to another window to Activate Outlook 365. When I submit my email and password, it says, 'ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROM THE SAME ORGANIZATION IS ALREADY SIGNED IN'. But mine is the only account used in my system..!!!

I am switching from a MAC to a Windows machine. I have my Microsoft User DataOffice 2011 IdentitiesMain Identity intact and would like to convert those to something that the outlook client on Windows understands, and login in offline mode on the Windows machine, so I can clean up the records (I have more than 20GB of messages/attachments) that I do not want to transfer.

Are there any tools that would allow me to do this?

I have a few users that complain that, off of our corporate network, outlook will update normally for an hour or so, then stop updating the inbox completely, or, more commonly, only every few hours.  Once they return to campus, everything appears to run normally again.  

I don't have a ton of information to provide, but does anyone have any idea what may be going on?

Have restarted the computer and it says its open but can not find anywhere
