Question about Outlook Express

Hi all,

I've been looking for a solution to this problem and haven't had any real success. What I'd like to do is have a copy of my sent messages from my IMAP Gmail account go to BOTH my sent folder online AND the sent folder locally, on my computer. I'm using Outlook 2011 for Mac.

I set up the following rule under IMAP:

If

Execute: If any criteria are met

From Contains *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Then

Copy Message > Sent Items (On My Computer)

Change Status > Read

I also have "Do not apply other rules to messages that meet these criteria" unchecked.

This doesn't work unless I manually click on the "Sent Items" folder of my Gmail account on the left sidebar. Then it contacts the server to check for contents of my online sent folder, THEN applies the rules to copy it to my local sent folder. For some reason the files are not automatically downloaded?

As an aside, I tried the method outlined here, but it's nebulous and doesn't clearly explain which accounts I need to set under the rule:

An these solutions do not work for me because I want a copy on BOTH the server AND my computer:

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I just installed Outlook 2011 for Mac and transferred my Outlook file from Windows Outlook 2010.  I'm having a problem with the suggested email addresses that pop up every time I send an email (“Contacts and Recent Addresses").  This list seems to be generated from every person or company I've received emails from, not ones I’ve sent an email to.  I thought this list was only supposed to be those email addresses I've sent emails to.  The list is bogged down with addresses I would never send an email to (i.e. Businesses, newsletters, etc.) and I keep deleting them by clicking the X next to the address, but when I receive a new email from them it goes back on the suggested list.  It makes it difficult to quickly find the address of the person I’m looking for.  I tried rebuilding the database as suggested on another forum and got an error saying the database cannot be rebuilt, but when I created a new identity I had the same problem.  Any suggestions?

Hi!

I have a problem with my Outlook 2011 for Mac (IMAP Account)

It´s unbelievably slow and the Mac Spinning Pinwheel comes up all the time. I also get this message:

In our organisation, we are mainly PC users, with 3 or 4 MAC users in the mix.  We have 30-40 rooms which each have their own calendar (and own outlook account) and the PC users are able to organise them into Calendar Groups according to their requirements (eg., group rooms with VC functionality together, or group the rooms on the first floor together, etc).  I cannot find a way to do this with our MAC users.  I know they can do it using Office 365 but wanted to know if there is a similar functionality for Outlook 2011?

Thanks

I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 with Outlook 2011 and this was working for approx 6 months so please do not tell me it is not possible to sync Calendars with iCal. My contacts were also syncing in perfect harmony.

A couple of weeks ago this stopped working. I'm not sure why, I don't think I updated. iTunes 11 was syncing the data between Outlook and iCal. There were no duplicates; it was beautiful.

I have conducted a huge amount of time and effort; at least 72 straight solid hours now. I was wrongly informed that the problem was iTunes being 11 no longer supporting syncing. However it was working for a considerable amoutn of time. 

Currently iTunes is not the problem as the syncing between iCal and Outlook 2011 is constantly syncing. It now is duplicating all day events and it does not finish; it runs imminently. I've had to turn off sync services at the moment.

What I've tried:

1. I've trashed all my preferences within Library > Preferences.;
2. I've deleted Outlook 2011 and reinstalled several times, trying to use an older version (service pack 1 - 14.1.0).
3. I tried creating a new User Identity as I thought my calendars may be corrupted so I thought I'd be able to delete my duplicates in iCal with a script (iCal Dupe Deleter works well) then syncing from iCal back to Outlook. This resulted in another imminent sync. 
4. You cannot rebuild the Microsoft User Data from where I was using a more updated User Data e.g. 14.4.9 seems to be the oldest version I can run with my User Data. I tried rebuilding my User Data by copying the Header Rows of a new User Identity database which was a suggested workaround - it did not work;

What can I do to get this to work? It is possible to get this to work and it should. I've also been chatting about my endeavours in this link too.

Grateful of any guidance.

It appears to me that Office for Mac offers a way of displaying non-printing characters in all applications except Outlook, as I have been unable to find a way to do it. This causes formatting issues in certain of my emails, most notably the ones in which I have copied and pasted something. Is there any way to display them?

Thanks in advance

A Mac storage error came up while I was in outlook, saying I ran out of space, and next thing I know outlook deleted my entire account...

I can also not load the account back onto outlook. All of my emails and stuff are in my mac finder but says the identity is not assigned. I can't find the identity to that account. Or I am just not doing something right. I am not sure if it's gone/hidden/etc.  I am not very tech savvy so I hope ya'll can help. 

If someone could please dumb this very down for me and help me fix it that would be great!
