I'm trying to figure out how to import e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information from Apple's Contacts app to Outlook for Mac and haven't been able to do so yet. I would be grateful for any useful suggestions.
I recently started using Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011, which I got as part of MS's Office for Mac 2011 suite. The version of Outlook I'm using is 14.3.9. I have been putting my contacts' information into Apple's Contacts app (I am using Contacts v.8.0). It has worked fairly well in the past with Apple's Mail app, but I am no longer using the Mail app. Please note: I do not need to import e-mails form Apple's Mail app to Outlook; since I synched up my Outlook with my Gmail account, I have been able to access my old e-mails, which are on Gmail's server, but most of my contact information is not on the Gmail server but is in the Contacts app on my hard drive. I can export contact info from Contacts as a PDF, but Outlook can't import it in that format, apparently. I can also export contact information from Contacts as (1) something called a Contacts Archive, a file that has an .abbu file extension, or (2) as a big set of vcf cards, in the form of a single file with file extension .vcf.
Yesterday, I had two IMAP accounts, for which all of my info was current, disappear from my InBox though they still appear when I go to the Accounts area of preferences. It's not just that the emails themselves disappeared but the names for the accounts themselves are gone. (Specifically AllerStaff and Leikenfamily @ SBC. I re-created the latter so you can see in the InBox area I have LeikenFamily new but don't want to try with the AllerStaff one. The AllerStaff one didn't just disappear on one computer but on two! (Though the accounts are fine on my iPhone — for now.)
How do I get them back?
I'm on a Mac (one MacBook Pro, one iMac) and they're both running Mavericks. One of the accounts that disappeared was a Gmail, the other was Yahoo/ATT, both IMAP.
Hello all together,
I´ve installed Outlook 2011 on an mid2011-iMac as well as on an 2013-MBA.
Both run OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
With both Outlook-installations I experience the same situation:
- An Exchange Account is running smoothly. No problems.
- With to other accounts i have problems:
iCloud and web.de (German provider) accounts all connect to their servers (green signal as well as "connected with" in lower right hand corner). The respective folders are received and displayed in the sidebar. Therefore I must believe, that I´ve entered the right account informations and passwords.
BUT: NO EMAILS are downloaded or shown. Neither in the Inbox nor in any other folders. The "syncronize this folder" and the "repair this folder" commands don`t show any results whatsoever, either.
I can send emails from both accounts (iCloud and web.de). But the sent messages only appear for a really short time in the sent folders and then disappear.
After several hours of testing, searching the web and readjusting several setup-conditions, I have to give up and hope someone can help me.
Thx in advance.
Regards,
Alex
Hi,
I have been sending out invites to meetings through my Outlook Mac 2011 calendar. While I do get email notifications when people reply or decline, I get nothing if they don't reply at all. More importantly, when the meeting comes (as far as a month later) I dont recall whether I got a response a months ago. I don't necessarily want to search through every email from four weeks ago to remember if my meeting is on for today.
Is there a way that there can be some symbol or color change in my calendar when a meeting is accepted/declined or stay the same if not replied yet?
Thanks

I have an exchange mailbox that I use at work, which syncs with iPhone, iPad and Mac for 8 months without any issues at all. Today at 1252pm outlook just froze on my Mac and won't sync or do anything. My iPhone and iPad are fine and work, my online exchange is fine and works just outlook from my mac! Other users here have same system, accept instead of mac that have a windows based laptops, they are all working correctly. The issue is only from Mac Outlook, please help/advise.
PS, i have rebooted numerous times, there is no mail in the outbox this has been deleted, I've ton offline and back on line, quit and restarted.
Outlook itself is stuck showing 'determining changes'
Hi
I am trying to input contact details for people with several work addresses, all of which need to be there in order to utilise the calendar functionality properly.
The options you have for addresses to add are 'work' and 'home'. I need work 1, work 2 etc but I am unable to work out how to add more than one address. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
