Microsoft closed my application and required an upgrade, I installed it, it required my KEY which I entered and it stated that it was invalid (The key is less than 2 weeks old).  Everything was working before this, NOW it won't even allow my MAC to shut down.  When I try to contact help it says they are busy..   WHAT can I do ??  The MAC is new and I purchased the Office for MAC at the time I bought the computer.
I have been using Outlook 2011 for mac for 1 month now. Initially everything was working fine but from last couple of days the Outlook shows its downloading mails to inbox but it just doesn't happen. I have over 20 mails waiting to be downloaded. My servers for for incoming is 993 and outgoing is 25. Its connected via imap for gmail. Should I delete the account and create a new one? Any assistance would be of great help. Thanks in advance. 
Hi 

I have 3 Macbook Airs & 2 Macbook Pros with Retina and a 13" macbook Pro with a Fusion drive installed. 
all these are running 10.9 except 2 MBA with is running 10.8

when working with most files all users are getting the spinning wheel, mainly the users running 10.9 
Outlook on the 10.9 & 10.8 machines get the spinning ball when trying to print and the first time an email is open. 
The MBA running 10.9 has resorted to using webmail as using outlook has become such an issue for them. 

I will note that we are running MS Exchange 2010 SP3 

What I have done
Run all updates.
Gone through all users email account and removed any email with attachments above 8MB.
Rebuilt all DB.
Uninstall then re-install run all updates add new account. 
Added to profile and set as default. 
Deleted preferences 
Deleted Auto saved files
New profile same machine (this worked for a short period of time) 

Nothing above made any differences,

The 13" macbook pro (my machine) was working fine until it was upgraded to 10.8 Outlook took on average 30 minutes to open, a word file would take anywhere between 5 minutes to never actually opening. 

I then brought a fusion drive and completely rebuilt the machine running 10.8, reinstalled Office 2011 ran all updates added my account to outlook and its been perfect ever since, I am now running 10.9 and all office apps seem to be working well with the exception of excel which really struggled until turing of WYSIWYG
now its fine. 

I have 2 other 13" macbook pro with the same 1 TB fusion drive installed running 10.8, one of these machines displays some of the above symptoms but no where near as bad, the other seems to be fine. 

I have read a few posts about this no one seems to have an answer, just wondering if anyone can help me get to the bottom of this issue. 

thank you

I (like others) support Outlook Mac for a decent size community. We have a lot of OS switchers who complain about the lack of side-by-side view. I've submitted the feedback years back to Microsoft, and I hope it's included in the next release. Calendaring is an important part of what people use Outlook for. It'd be great to hear if that's going to be included in the next version so we can do a little marketing before the release.
Hi, 

I've just updated my macbook air to OS X Mavericks. I have always been using Office for Mac 2011 and everything worked fine. however after the upgrade, I can't open Outlook while the other application such as Excel and Word and Powerpoint can ALL be opened properly. I have no idea why. Has anyone ever come across the same issue? This has just happened recently.

Thanks!

Hi,

 

On a work computer here I have multiple accounts setup on my Outlook. However none of them are able to retrieve or send mail out. I know that the servers are up and running due to being able to send/receive emails on my phone, tablet, and outlook online.; and I have also looked into all of the accounts and all the server information required is correctly entered.

 

When looking at the error message, 17997, online most people are suggestion things like running updates (which there are non available), or rebuilding my identity database.

 

Now I am hesitant in doing this, as I have many different accounts and folders within the inbox. Does anyone have suggestions on how to safely do this and insure all of those folders will return upon rebuilding the identity? Or have other suggestions for fixing this problem?

 

I have also thought about possibly just removing the account and re-adding it to Outlook, however I feel as if those folders would once again not appear. Another idea is just re-installing the program, and adding the accounts, but again would those folders appear?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks,

Taylor

 

Hi Team-

I'm trying to implement the Yesterbox email management methodology in Outlook 2011 as it seems promising to help me keep the deluge under control. Generally the principle is to only process (read/reply/delete) email received yesterday (or older). This keeps the distraction from continual new email from derailing other activities (including working with older email). To support this, I hide the "today" group in my inbox and only work on "yesterday". So far, so good. I get email done with by some time in the workday, and can spend the rest of the day doing real work. Novel!

However, I work with an international team spread across multiple timezones, and I'd really like to be able to count mails received today in my timezone but 'yesterday' in my work schedule to be included in yesterday's mailbox. For example, if a mail comes in at 4am PST, that's yesterday as far as I'm concerned when I get in to work at 6:30am. If not, I won't deal with it it until tomorrow, introducing an additional latency in the process.

To support this, I'd like to create a smart mailbox called "Yesterbox" that contains mails from the 24 hour period leading up to my scheduled email processing time, say 6:30am. Unfortunately I don't see a way to search by anything more granular than whole day boundaries. Am I missing a secret raw query term somewhere?

Even better would be if Outlook simply took the calendar Work Schedule preferences into account while computing day breaks in the mail module. If I could say "Work day starts at 7:00 AM" and it would consider all mail prior to the current work day as occurring yesterday, that'd be fantastic.

Finally, it would also be fantastic if the 'Today' email group in the inbox would stay closed if I close it. It seems to like to re-open itself all of the time when switching folders, or switching to and from the calendar.

If any or all of this isn't possible in Office 2011, please consider this a feature request for Office 2014.

Thanks for considering!

Kind regards,

r.
I have a mac with outlook on and also windows surface rt with outlook. Is there a way to link the two calendars on these devices?
