My emails show as read before I’ve read them!

03. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac

I have noticed that I am "missing" emails coming in, i.e., the emails themselves are not missing but I am not spotting them coming in. This happens particularily when I close the cover of my Macbook Air (for a few hours).....it goes into Sleep mode, and when I come back and open my email programme.....new messages have arrived but they look "read" not unread, as compared to when I am just sitting here using my computer, a new message will arrive and remain "bolded" until I read it. 

I don't think this has anything to do with the Preferences....Reading...mark mail as read after ___ seconds because presumably when my cover is closed, the laptop is not "reading" the mail.

Does anyone have any ideas why, when my mail downloads from the server when my laptop is closed, the incoming mails all show as read even when I haven't read them yet? (they are no longer bolded which means I am not noticing some of my new email.

Thanks!

 

How to fix a failed Outlook 2011 database rebuild?

03. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

If I attempted to rebuild a 14.3.9 Outlook database and it did not rebuild, possibly because of disk space <200GB, can I use an external disk to add disk space to perhaps complete the database rebuild? I used this procedure. http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-your-data-when-rebuilding-restoring-and-upgrading-fails/

I get error -15000 

Any help is appreciated,

Hi,

I have a mailbox that various users have access to. The mailbox also has a shared contacts which allows multiple users to add/edit contact in. The problem is, when creating a distribution group within the mailbox for these contact, users on Outlook 2011 is unable to see the distribution group, they can only see the contacts. Whereas outlook 2010 users on PC can see both the contacts and the group.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I DON’T want Outlook to sync to our iPhones. How do I stop this?

Both my husband & I have iPhones (mine 5s, his 4s) & we have our yahoo business email set up on them both. We also have this email set up in Outlook 2011 on our iMac, but whenever  I move (file) an email in Outlook, it completely deletes it from our phones. I don't know how to fix this, & it's driving us both crazy! Can anyone help, PLEASE?

Office for Mac 2011 / Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes not syncing to iPhone

02. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

I have recently added Office for Mac 2011 to my Mac Air.  Email is working fine, I'm getting my email off gmail with no problems.

However, I am having some issues.  

If I add a new calendar item in Outlook, it does not show up on my iPhone.  I've got sync services setup done and calendar, tasks, contacts, notes are checked.  If I go to iTunes, it says Calendar (for example) is handled via wireless and controlled in my phone.  

I checked on phone, iCloud is set to sync contacts, calendar, notes, so that looks good.  

If I log into iCloud itself, I don't see my new calendar item though, so it's not getting from Outlook to iCloud.  

Needless to say, the opposite isn't happening either - my old info (Calendar, Contacts, etc) are not showing up in Outlook - though Calendar items are in iCloud.  

I'm guessing I just don't have something checked or setup on the Mac, but not finding what it is...

Any suggestions?

thanks,

B

Outlook 2011 for mac and IMAP email accounts?

02. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac

I am not the most technical of people so anybody that can offer me some help would be fantastic

I use and imac and a macbppk pro and iphone and ipad, I have a imap email account hosted with my hosting company,

I have setup the account on the mobile and ipad and any changes i make to folders etc are reflected on the server which is great how I want it to be :)

But when i open outlook on the mac's when i move email messages to other folders etc or delete it doesn't reflect on the server, and it getting really really frustrating,

I just want whenever I organise my mail for it to reflect on all devices connected and my understanding is this should happen with an imap email account, which i have paid to be setup!!

Can anyone help with this really really frustrating problem as I have paid for outlook, I have paid for the email service, I just want them to work :)

Thanks

I forced-quit my Microsoft Outlook and now I cant see my emails. They are there when I go and look for the files in finder but they are not in my Outlook. I know it has something to do with a PST file as Ive done it before but for whatever reason I cant seem to find helpful information on how to fix it.

Outlook will not start

01. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac

Have just installed Office 2011 for mac. 

At first was able to open Outlook but after importing mails from entourage then trying to delete them Outlook crashed. was able to re open but the second time it crashed again. Now it will not open. The symbol bounces a couple of times and the logo screen opens for a second then shuts down. 

One thing I can see is the long code number in the bottom left of the logo screen appears just to be all 1's.

Please help!!!!
