Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hi there,
< Microsoft for Mac 2011 >
It's been a few days that I couldn't log in Outlook.
Whenever I click Microsoft Outlook to check my e-mail, 'Microsoft Error Reporting' pop-up window is showing up.
It says:
Microsoft Database Daemon has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I've already clicked the 'Send' button to tell you guys about this problem.
I haven't received any reply back, so I'm leaving a question through this website.
Regard,

So this has happened twice, and my blood pressure honestly has doubled. I bought a new Macbook Pro yesterday, and repurchased the Office for Mac 2011, since my 2008 version was outdated. When I set up Outlook, all 65,000+ messages from my Gmail account started to sync. I called tech support, and they told me I have to deal with it. Fine. So after all the messages download, I went and filtered through all of them on my Outlook, and deleted close to 30,000 over a process of 4 hours.
Now every time I open my Outlook, it starts to re-download all 30,000 messages I deleted. I changed my gmail settings to POP, as a different thread said might help, and so I patiently waited as it re-downloaded them all, thinking maybe I just have to do it with POP enabled. So the 30,000 downloaded again, and I deleted them all once again. Go figure, Outlook is still trying to resync my inbox and downloading those 30,000 emails again.
If this honestly doesn't get resolved by the end of the week, I will be getting a refund and the last nail in the coffin for Microsoft products in my life with hammered on in. I've liked Entourage/Outlook in the past, and would like to continue using it, but it is beyond ludicrous that Outlook would sync 30,000 emails I delete, every time I delete them. What's the point of having Outlook if that happens?
Thanks for your help.
Hi
Have had the above error message for last eight months or so. I have Microsoft on a Mac, and all emails, calendars etc running though Outlook. My email address is a hotmail address. I have rebuilt my profile double checked the password, changed the password, the list goes on.
Numerous different pages have had the same issue however there does not seem to be a clear answer. Is there one clear answer to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a problem selecting the correct contact in the TO line of new emails.
I no longer receive any prompts or choices when selecting contacts, no options to choose between two different email addresses of the same contact (i.e. home vs work). Say I type "Simon", I used to see options for which Simon / or which address belonging to Simon I wanted to choose. Now, after I hit return it simply chooses one for me - inevitably it is the wrong one, and I can't change it - so I have to copy and paste the email address from another email. Also, if I type an address very quickly and hit return, I get the orange ? box - but as long as I wait for 1/2 a second or so after finishing typing, it will select an address (as per the above).
Any thoughts or suggest gratefully received.
Thanks, Anthony.

Hello,
Would really appreciate some help on an issue with Outlook 2011 - I will explain all that I can.
Environment
We have Exchange 2010 server on our network - We have 10 Clients using Apple Mac (Various Pro Laptops & Imacs - Operating systems range from 10.7.5 up to latest 10.9 Mavericks) and the remainder are using PC (Windows 7).
We have run this set-up for around 2 1/2 years with few issues of note that haven't been resolved.
Problems
Outlook 2011 on the Apple Macs is running extremely slowly, the initial load time is longer than usual, any operation that you try to perform, be that selecting an email, scrolling in email, accessing the menus, replying & typing causes the beach ball... this spins for approximately 1-2 minutes before freeing, and allowing you to continue for momentarily before doing the same again.
Whats been tried
Ensuring Outlook 2011 is on latest update
Ensuring Operating system is on latest update
Rebuilding Outlook database on client machine
Removing the Main Identity folder
Complete removal (Following Microsoft instructions) and Re-installation of Outlook 2011
Set up Fresh new email account
Further Information
The PC's within our network are fine - exhibiting no issues - Have even used one of the email addresses that was on an apple mac on the PC, and it works perfectly. OWA is unaffected and runs fine for all email accounts.
Have tested Mac Mail with the accounts on the apple macs - and this does not exhibit any of these issues.
The problems have been going on now for a week.
I am not an IT specialist by any means, but I know enough to get by, so any technical information on fixes, instructions would be appreciated or links on how to.
We do not employ any IT people to solely handle our network.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Setup:
Outlook 2011 configured to use Office365 Exchange hosted by MS
Issue:
Sent Items are not updating in Outlook 2011 but OWA reflects latest information.
Hi All,
I have also posted this to the Exchange server board, but thought it might be appropriate to post here as well.
I've had this problem pretty since deployment a couple of weeks ago, so I'm hoping some one can point me in the right direction. I'm running Exchange 2013 on a Server 2012 Standard box with the DC running on a different box, every thing up to date.
Mac clients running Outlook 2011 (14.4.2).
Periodically throughout the day, Outlook loses connection to Exchange server. After several minutes, it will connect back up, and seems to operate normally. During the down time, I am able to connect to OWA, and ActiveSync seems to work as well.
If I run the Remote Connectivity Analyzer while Outlook is responding, I get no errors and the "Connectivity Test Successful" message. However, if I run it while Outlook is NOT responding, I get the following:
Exchange Web Services synchronization, notification, availability, and Automatic Replies.
Not all tests of Exchange Web Services tasks completed.
Creating a temporary folder to perform synchronization tests.
Failed to create temporary folder for performing tests.

Nothing I've attempted to do so far as had any meaningful impact, and I am fairly new to Exchange.
Following the adice I've seen online so far, I've:
I've made sure the auto discover in DNS points to the Exchange server.
I've disable auto-discover on the client, manually adding accounts, tried using their FQDN, local IP, LAN IP.
I've made exceptions to the proxie on the client.
Just not sure where to look next? Appreciate any advice out there.
Thanks,
Michael
I have established rules; some work, some don't. Most are being applied to more than one email sender, although your
Tech Support people say there can only be one email address associated with a given rule. That's nuts because why bother to have Rules. It's also not true since some of mine are operating with multiple senders associated with the same rule.
I understand that Rules are supposed to get applied automatically PRIOR to receiving the message in the Inbox. I understand that I may apply a given Rule to received messages after the fact. My experience is that it is completely serendipitous.
CAN YOU HELP ME, puleeeeeeeeeeeeze??????
