Windows Live Mail FAQ
Hello,
When i'm typing out an email, sometimes the email body gets 'unselected', so my keystrokes aren't doing anything.
E.g. I'll be typing out a sentence, then midway through I'll be pressing keyboard keys and nothing is being typed into the email, and my Mac gives the 'beep' sound when incorrect keys are pressed.
I haven't been able to see any pattern to this behaviour. I'm not pressing any special keys at the time this occurs, just standard letter keys. Any ideas?
Thank you!
As part of my job, I have to surf the way and gather a bunch of URLs in the morning, all revolving differnet topics.
I gather about 70 to 80 URLs so that I later in the day I can write blog posts around them.
So my email draft would look what you see below.
This way, I can easily click on each of the 60-70 links at a rapid pace -- each of which opens in a new tab in my browser -- so I can go through them fairly quickly.
Even when I save the draft without closing, the email draft you see below stays intact.
The problem is when I close the email draft (or send it).
The links look like what you see below -- mangled and unusable.
So instead of easily clicking on each link, I have to copy and paste them one by one in my browser.
Which is a cumbersome process, especially with 60-70 links.
As I said, this only happens when I close the email draft. If I kept the draft open all day, and repeatedly saved it, it would look like what you see above. But it's not always possible to keep a draft open all day.
Is there any way to fix this? It would be a huge help. Thanks.
I am just trying to find some kind of support and instead this website lead me to this. An area for others in need to talk to each other about how much we all need help. This is not real customer service.
Does anyone know where you can go to get support from someone who actually knows what they are talking about? Spending hours trolling through other peoples misfortunes is not going to help solve mine.
This issue arose with Apple's Maverick's OS.
After two, three, or four days without rebooting the computer, Outlook begins to report the following error message every time it attempts to get mail from the server:
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.
So, Outlook functions normally for several days and then something changes somewhere. Nothing has changed in Outlook's account settings. All other Internet accessing applications function normally.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Cheers,
Leigh
Hello,
We have two Exchange 2010 servers each in a different data center, active/passive. I have a CAS configured and the Windows outlook clients auto discover the CAS just fine. Also when I fail over between servers the Windows Outlook clients fail over just fine. My issue is with the Outlook for Mac clients, they don't automatically follow the fail over between servers. When I check the settings I see the actually Exchange server name and not the CAS name like I see on the Windows Outlook clients. Does anyone have some ideas on what might be causing this issue?
Thank you,
I find that I frequently accidentally hit the red close button on calendar entries instead of the save and close button. This is becoming very irritating and, as I use this for business, it's particularly frustrating. How can I/can I, find and restore accidentally deleted calendar entries?
Thanks

Hi;
I am wondering if there is a way to setup outlook to show you the date when an email was sent, not the date and time when you downloaded it.
Thanks;

I have two different Exchange accounts I use for work (we'll call them Account A and Account B.)
There is a message that appears in the Drafts folder of Account A, which I wish to delete. Every time I delete the message, however, it reappears a few minutes later no matter what I do. I have tried:
• Deleting the message
• Shift-Deleting the message
• Opening the Draft and Sending the message.
• Rebuilding the Database/Identity for the account.
• Completely removing Account A from Outlook and re-adding it.
What may be causing the problem is that, for some reason, it is indicating that Account B is the author of the draft, even though the message appears in the Drafts folder of Account A. That may be what is confusing Outlook, but I have no idea how that happened, or how to undo it so I can finally delete this message.
