Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hello there!
I dare say this will be my first post of many! I've recently migrated to a MAC only life from PC - for various reasons and am having a lot of those 'AAGHH! How do I do this on a MAC moments!!'
The first of which.....
When in DELETED ITEMS I used to be able to sort by 'Date Modified' rather than 'Date Sent'. This is handy for finding that email you just deleted by accident.
Does anyone know how to do this in Outlook For Mac please?
Thanks
Good Afternoon, I could use a little help.
In the past I have used Outlook on a PC along with iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts. I recently switched to a Mac. I am trying to recreate the same syncing capabilities. I signed up for Office 365 for Home $9.99 a month which included the download of the Office 2011 for Mac.
I understand that Office 2011 for Mac does not have the capability to sync with iCloud. I don't really care that I can't sync through iCloud. i understand that Apple and Microsoft are fighting over who get the be the big boy and hope that they will work out their issues soon.
For now I would like to find a way that will allow me to sync my calendar and contacts through Office for Mac 2011. Right now I am running Office 2010 with the iCloud download on Parallels and using the other Office for Mac products (word, excel, etc)
My question is does the Office 365 for Home subscription include the ability to sync the calendar and contacts and if not how would I go about it? I see reference to a Microsoft Exchange Server but can't tell if that is part of the subscription or something different.
thank you
My small office uses a public calendar which is shared between six people. The calendar entries go back to 2009. We noticed just now that all of our calendar entries from March 2014 back have disappeared, as well as the color-coding that each of us individually had. No one is fessing up to having done anything.
How can we get our calendar entries back? We need them for various reasons.
I can't believe this. I've had the typical can't connect to server issues and not sending attachments, but today is the day I have to open a GMAIL acct. I can neither send or receive, I just went through creating all new setting with GoDaddy, everything worked for about 4 hours and now I can't send or receive.
All 4 emails are set up as imap with the proper smtp and imap settings. I know that to be true because I tested them.
Man, this program was the best ever when I had my PC and you could even customize events to audio.
I'm pretty certain I have a new update because the icons have changed and folders have sen added where there weren't any before.
If MS has an update that works, I willing to give it a try, I don't particularly care for GMAIL but that's where this latest failure is pointing for me.
I am running into an issue with signing/encryption certificates from different individuals where the certificate email address does not match that of the senders address.
Is there an equivalent SupressNameChecks, for Outlook 2011 for MAC?
http://support.
Thanks.
Here is the simple breakdown:
1. Boot Mac from a powered off state.
2. Launch Outlook
3. Observe that Outlook connects and syncs
4. Put Mac to sleep
5. Wake Mac
6. Observe that Outlook is in "Not Connected" state
7. Select menu option Tools > Send & Receive > Send & Receive All
8. Observe that Outlook is in "Not Connected" state
9. Close and relaunch Outlook
10. Observe that Outlook connects and syncs
This happens to everyone I know, not just at my company. Hundreds of man-hours are wasted on this. Lots of embarrassment comes in the form of, "I'm sorry I didn't get it, I didn't notice that Outlook needed to be restarted."
I recently changed companies and am trying to import my contacts from an OLM file I created at the old company. The import worked perfectly except that the contacts are "on my computer" not on the server. As a result they do not sync with my iPad or iPhone. I have tried to "drag" the contacts up from the "on my computer" section to our corporate folder (server) but to no avai. I am one of a very few number of Mac users so our IT support is not familiar with how to do this. Appreciate any ideas that you might have!
I am so sorry - i never tried dragging the items individually from the "on my computer" to the server... That worked perfectly. This is closed.

If you look at the link above it says there that
OK great!!!!!!!!!
I am in my junk mail folder in Outlook 2011 for Mac on my macbookpro and all the email from my new important customer keeps going into the junk email folder on my exchange account even if I set the domain as a safe domain in Outlook 2011 for Mac.
So how do I update the rules on the exchange account so that they can run on the exchange account, in the past on Outlook in the windows environment when I set a safe domain in the junk mail settings, those settings were saved in my exchange account.
I am fine with the rule running on the exchange server instead of locally, my question is how do I control the rules and set them up?
We have kind of a crazy bug that is showing up in our environment specifically with Outlook 2011 users. We use Exchange 2010 sp3.
Sometimes when our users save multiple saved drafts in Outlook for Mac, and then later on send one of those drafts, their client will merge two drafts together and end up sending Draft B, with all of the content of Draft B, but to the recipients specified in Draft A. In this situation both drafts disappear completely , and as far as Exchange is concerned, only one email is submitted which is the strange merged version, which is then routed as you would normally expect it to be.
The other odd part of this bug is, when we later take a look at these merged messages, the headers look correct, as in the headers of Draft B show the originally intended recipients of that Draft B, and make no reference to the mistaken recipients that are 'borrowed' from Draft A. We obviously can't do any analysis of Draft A in these situations as Draft A disappears completely.
So if I have two emails in my drafts folder:
Draft 1:
To: Todd
Subject: Hey Todd
Body: Hey Todd
Draft 2:
To: Andy
Subject: Hey Andy
Body: Hey Andy
When I send the first draft in this example, I will end up sending an email to Todd, but it will be an email with the subject line, body and headers of the other draft originally addressed to Andy. The hybrid email will make its way into the "Sent Items", the other draft will disappear completely.
It's almost as if the client is combining these two drafts together and then submitting a merged copy to Exchange.
So far it has impacted around 14 people in our environment, all using Outlook for Mac and all using drafts. Other common factors seem to include time and travel, as in these drafts would be created while on a plane, and then sent when landed, or created a few days prior to being sent, or created offline, and then sent later when online.
Microsoft is aware of this and working with us to try and figure out what is going on here, but as it stands we have been unable to repro this in any kind of controlled environment, and I was hoping that someone else may have come across a similar issue?
Thanks!
Andy
