I have bought Microsoft Office for Mac Home & Business 2011 only to use outlook to synchronize my Iphone (I had already bought Word, Excel and Powerpoint), and I am really surprised to find out that I can only synchronize e-mails, but not calendar or contacts. I use Mac OS X Yosemite (Macbook pro) and an Iphone 6.

Can anyone help me to use Outlook to synchronize my calendar and contacts ? I have found a forum where this was fund not possible (but still sold!!!)

Thanks,

Yasmina

Help please,

At first my outlook start blocking when downloading emails and did not want to download big attachments. I did the following ending up with big problems.

 

I selected a number of old emails from Outlook Mac to export them to a external hard disk. 

Asked to delete the mails after export.  When done it seems "all" emails where gone, also the ones I did not wanted to export.

When trying to import them again I get below message :

see the folder on my external hard disk but can not get them imported anymore.

  

Can some one help please?  Thanks.

I get a lot of emails at work as I am a part of multiple distribution lists, and I'm trying to find a method of disabling Outlook 2011 from automatically downloading attachments as my system takes a lot of time syncing emails due to the same.
I find it frustrating, opening an email and it waits to download the attachment before you can read the actual email. Particularly when you're not sure if you need to open the attachment or not, and just want to read the text of the email.  Also some attachments are quite large in size and I don't need to open and check all of the anyways. 

On the Windows version (Outlook 2010) you can change this - can you do it on the Mac version (Outlook 2011)?

Hello,

I have an Exchange account set up in Outlook 2011. There are also a lot of archived messages saved locally on the machine. 

I need to start fresh with a new User on a new machine, but then import those old archived messages into the new Outlook mail account. 

What is the best procedure for doing this?

I know there's an export option, and you can also drag and drop folders to your desktop, but what's the best way to do this if you then want to take those exported files, and re-import them back into a new Outlook account on an entirely new computer, while maintaining the original folder structure? Any time I've tried to do something like this in the past, I've ended up with missing messages. 

Any and all help is appreciated. 

I have created rules in my Outlook for Mac 2011, so that emails go to subfolders. The emails go to the subfolders but I don't get the notifications for such emails. I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3

I faced the same problem while using outlook on Windows. But I found the fix for that by editing the rule and selecting "Display the desktop alert" but no such option is available for Mac for Outlook.

since upgrading to version 14.5.1 i have not been able to send any messages on Outlook.

today outlook has started freezing every time I open it [office for mac 2011] 

is anyone else having this problem? is there are remedy?

Since today I have the following problem. When I try to enclose a document, I select a folder in which it is saved. Outlook immediately encloses the entire folder before I can select the document I want to enclose.

Can somebody help me out?
