Question about Outlook Express

My received emails are automticly deleted from my inbox after 2 weeks. How can I change this?

Mac 10.6.8. Outlook 14.3.9.

Today (Tues 3/11) noticed that an overdue task from yesterday said 1 day overdue and that an overdue task from Sunday said 1 days overdue. In fact, all my overdue tasks (except Monday's) are off by 1 day. Tasks for the upcoming week seem to have the right day count.

Manually backed the computer up a couple of days, no problems. Monday was a problem and it was similar to today's - perhaps somehow related to Sunday time change?

Restarted computer to no avail. Set the Mac's clock manually as well as syncing to the internet - no difference. Added a new task with a Sunday date - shows 1 days overdue, not 2.

Figured before I asked for help let me rebuild Outlook - last time was back on January 1st when I did my annual cleanup. It told me that it successfully rebuilt it but now all my tasks are in duplicate - with the date counting on the overdue tasks still messed up. Events, notes and mail did not duplicate as far as I can tell, just tasks.

Finally I went into Excel and subtracted a date in the past from the TODAY function and got the correct date count there.

Suggestions, a diagnosis of what could be wrong, anything?

I can't see any way of modifying the date categories in Outlook's email item list.

I personally find the existing, default categories of "today", "yesterday" followed, one by one, by the remaining preceding days of the week, all a bit unnecessary; though maybe I wouldn't if I had vast amounts of email coming and going.

Conversely, I find having just "This year" and "Older" for everything else far too little.

If only it could be personalized, in my case to commence with "This month", "This year", "Last year" and then, one by one, all of the relevant years before. And it surely couldn't be too difficult for the obliging Microsoft programmer to have everything before "Last year" self-update so as to always read as the year in question; eg, for the year before "Last year" to currently read as "2012", etc.

I HAVE RANG FOUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND STILL NOONE IS ABLE TO HELP ME!

I NEED TO STOP MY OUTLOOK ON AN IMAC FROM DOWNLOADING ALL MY EMAILS AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THE HELP TIPS THAT ARE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS BUT STILL NOTHING IS WORKING - I AM USING A POP EMAIL ACCOUNT AND IT IS CONNECTED TO A SERVER THAT CONNECTS ALL OF MY OTHER COMPUTERS! I HAVE 2 COMPUTERS OUT OF 10 THAT ARE DOWNLOADING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND NOW I HAVE THOUSANDS OF EMAILS IN MY OUTLOOK AND I AM UNABLE TO STOP THEM!

PLEASE HELP.
THANKS

I have a split Windows / Mac environment and a user who uses the "Custom 1" field in Outlook for Mac contacts.  This works fine for her assistants that are on Mac as they can all see and sync the contents of this field.  However her another user that needs to view her contacts on Windows can't view this field it doesn't show up as an option.

Exporting a sample contact as a vcd and then opening with textedit I can see the contents of the custom field is there.  Specifically it says "X-custom;charset=utf-8;type=1:" followed by the contents of the field.  Each successive field increments the type so "Custom 2" is labeled as "X-custom;charset=utf-8;type=2:"

Unfortunately even though the data is there in the vcf importing into Outlook for Windows or browsing her delegate contacts from Outlook for Windows doesn't work.  

Does anyone have a creative idea as to how I can view this field from a Windows box?  I investigated creating a custom form for contacts in the developer tab but couldn't make it work.

Thanks 

Hi, I'm running Outlook 2011 on my MAC it work most of the time fine but sometimes it keeps asking me for the mail server password.

Clicking the keychain option make no difference.

Does anyone know what I can do to stop it?

Thanks
