Question about Outlook Express

Split from this thread.

I recently purchased a new MAC computer and I set up Outlook in Office 365. Every time I delete an email I am receiving an email being sent to me that reads:

message unavailable charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"

I am using a 3rd party email account, not Office 365 account

After my computer broke down, I got a new one. When I try to add my e-mail account into the Outlook for Mac 2011, it freezes and I need to force quit it.

All other Office programs seems to work.

I have the DVD's of Microsoft Office for Mac Standard 2011, licensed for use only by students and faculty.

Can you please help me to have this working?

Thanks in advance,

In Outlook 2011 how do I remove the separation of the list of items within my Inbox into Today, Yesterday, Monday, …, Last Year, etc. Suddenly these separations have appeared and I cannot figure out how to do away with them.

I recently purchased a new MAC computer and I set up Outlook for Mac 2011. Every time I delete an email I am receiving an email from the System administrator being sent to me that reads:

message unavailable charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"charset="US-ASCII"

I called Microsoft and they told me i need to contact my email provider...My email provider says all on their end is working fine...I have same email account set up on my phone and i[dat and they are all working fine...This only happens on my Mac. Please help

I just switched to Yosemite 10.10.2, and I often work in three different countries (UK, Belgium and France) using three professional email accounts from three local internet providers.

Sometimes, when I write an email in one country using one of my internet accounts, that account's SMTP settings may not be quite right for that country's internet provider. So when I click the SEND button, I get a message saying that the outgoing server couldn't find the recipient's address -- which is fair enough. Under my previous Entourage system, the email would then go into the Draft folder. I could retrieve this email, switch to a different sending address and send it successfully a second time. 

With Outlook under Yosemite, however, when an email does not send successfully, it disappears. It no longer goes into the Draft folder where I could retrieve it and modify it. So I have to think again about the text that I had written and rewrite a new email. This is a big time sink, as it can occur two to three times a day.

Does anyone know if these disappearing emails are stored anywhere, when they don't appear in the Sent Items folder? Is there a way to access them?

Many thanks for your input!

Has anyone had any luck with getting Mac Outlook 2011 working when TLS 1.0 is disabled?  PCI compliance no longer like TLS 1.0...

How did you "create a task from an email message"? Separate from any attachment, I havne't been able to figure out how to do this without the AppleScript functionality.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hello,

Any help troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to write a simple script in Applescript that takes the currently selected Outlook Message and moves it to an Outlook Folder called TEST. I'm on Outlook for Mac 2011 Ver 14. Here's the code.

*******************************************

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    activate
    set msgSet to current messages
    if msgSet = {} then
        error "No messages selected. Select at least one message."
        error -128
    end if
    set theMsg to item 1 of msgSet
    set theAccount to account of theMsg
    set archiveFolder to folder "TEST" of on my computer
    repeat with aMessage in msgSet
        move aMessage to archiveFolder
    end repeat
end tell

*******************************************

When I run this script I get an error as follows.

AppleScript Error

Microsoft Outlook got an error: Cant get folder "TEST" of on my computer.

It looks like the script can't see the folder. Here's what my folder hierarchy looks like in Outlook:

Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks!

Hello ,

I  am facing some issues of downloading Old/duplicate mails to MAC MS office 2011 (Maverick OS ) from the server. It is downloading all the emails like they are new. MAC MS outlook configured as  POP3 account  & leave the 5 days mails in server as per outlook setting to enable user to get mails in his phone as well .

Configuring IMAP wont a good idea for me as server cannot keep whole years mails as its ZIMBRA and space limitations.

Requesting you to help us with some lead to resolve the issues . 

regards

I've been using MS Office 2011 since it came out, and all has been well for a long time until a couple weeks ago when Outlook started crashing every time it would download email from a certain account. It had been downloading email from that account since 2011 without a problem, but suddenly it would shut down as it started downloading messages and the Microsoft Error Report would pop up. I watch the progress window, and it logs into the server without a problem, but it gets to the downloading new email part and the cursor turns to the spinning beach ball and Outlook shuts down.

I hadn't made any changes to the computer that could cause the problem, and I updated to Mavericks a while back. It turned out I was behind on Office updates, but installing the latest version did no good. I tried deleting and recreating that account, but no luck.

It's a work account, but the company is tiny and has no internal tech support, so someone I work with tried to help me. Since I work remote, he screen-shared with me and made a change to the incoming server, but that did no good. He was stumped.

I have a 2nd email account through the same domain, and that continues to work fine, with the same server settings. I can access the faulty account through web mail, and I tried deleting messages on the server, thinking that one of them was causing the problem, but no dice.

In the meantime, I set up that account in Apple Mail, and it works fine there. The only problem is, I'd prefer to keep all my email in Outlook, since I have work accounts there for other things too (I'm a freelancer who works for multiple companies), plus I have all my email history, my calendar, etc.

I just tried that account in Outlook again, and again it crashed. I grabbed the error log this time, if that will do any good.

I'm completely stumped by this. Any thoughts? Thanks!
