Question about Outlook Express

Using Outlook 2011 Mac.

Just did a back up of my notes and contacts and importing after wiping my MacBook clean. I get the following error when importing:

Outlook did not import all your data.

You stopped the import process before it was completed.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I am using Office for Mac 14.4.7.

I am having a problem with Outlook, but only sporadically.

When hitting the Send/Receive, I sometimes get the following error: Error 3253 "Connection to the server failed or was dropped".

Most of the time Outlook sends and receives normally, but then I'll get this error 4 or 5 times in a row, then it works fine again.

Intermittent problems can be very frustrating.

Please...any ideas?

Split from this thread.

I have the same problem with a variant. This is with OS 10.9.5:

- Downloaded and ran the update. All Office programs show version 14.4.7.

- Checking for updates with any Office program from a non-administrator account always shows update 14.4.7 is still available.

- Checking for updates with any Office program from an administrator account always shows no updates available.

I have run repair disk and repair permission, which change nothing.

Any further ideas?

Thanks.

Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

Tested with this same type of error in iMac (Yosemite - 10.10) and MacBook (Mountain Lion - 10.8) both running the Office 2011 for Mac with the latest updates applied, and this only happens for Outlook.com / Live.com / Hotmail.com emails...

I verified that Outlook for Mac does not allow TLS, only SSL and I believe this is the root of the problem...

• When setting the same emails with the native Mail app for Mac OS X, then it works flawlessly, what an irony!
