Outlook for Mac 2011 hangs whenever I hit “advanced” in the accounts pref

encountered the phenomenon others have: the re-downloading of thousands of emails, attributable to account pref that says "leave copy on server"

well I'm now well into my 6th hour of finding a solution, finally reinstalling all of Office 2011 (and all that goes with that)

the re-downloading issue seems to have resolved.

But now, as before, when I select "advanced" in accounts pref, in order to ensure the aforementioned pref is toggled off, Outlook hangs--eternal beachball.

would that one of you intrepid souls would come to my rescue

Email Issue

27. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac
Hello

I have been using office on my mac now for a month with no real problems.  I know I have not received all my emails however as people have tried to send them to me numerous times with no success.  

My second concern, just yesterday I opened my Mac and Outlook started downloading 1000 emails, either ones I had already deleted or sorted, or duplicates and now they are all under yesterday's date.  I don't have time to sort 1000 emails that I already sorted and I really hope we can sort this out and I'm afraid this will happen again and I don't want that to happen.

Any thoughts or advice, or help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Mail could not be received at this time.

Whenever I use my Mac outside and connect to the internet via my dongle, or a shared wifi, Outlook freezes and I constantly get this alert:


'Mail could not be received at this time.  The server for account "Gmail" returned the error "[ALERT] Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure)." Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?'


I re-enter my password again and again in order to unfreeze Outlook, but still the alert keeps coming back, which renders Outlook  unusable when connected.  


I would be grateful for advice on how to disable this alert, or configure so that it only comes up every few minutes instead of every few seconds.


For info, current Outlook settings in Accounts/Advanced/Server are: 'sync all  IMAP folders every 10 minutes' and 'refresh server connection after 20 minutes'.


 

Help! All of my emails have deleted from my hotmail account!

Hello, 

I use a mac and have POP email set up but i frequently log in to my hotmail account to monitor emails, etc.

Recently (a week ago) people were informing me that their emails to me were bouncing back. On logging in to my account ALL of my emails except the most recent have been deleted. There is no reason for this have happened. i have no 'accidently' deleted anything, changed any settings or done anything untoward to make this happen. I am also still experiencing problems receiving new mail.
This is very worrying for me as it my professional email account so its imperative i have access to prior communications with potential employers and clients.
I have looked this issue up and it appears many people are experiencing this at the moment. I would very much appreciate someone contacting me as soon as possible about this matter so i can fix the problem and get on with my job unimpeded. 

I thank you in advance for your help.

Outlook Mac 2011 refuses correct password with secial characters

26. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Hello,

I am running Office for Mac 2011 (14.3.8) accessing an Exchange email server. I have changed the password using OWA. The new password includes special characters. OWA is working fine.

However, my Mac outlook is refusing the password and won't log into the exchange account. The password in outlook is the correct one and I have verified this through keychain manager.

Has anybody else experiences this problem with special characters? Is it possible that Outlook for Mac is incompatible with special characters?

I appreciate any help.

I am getting error code 18493 as a result of a large file I was trying to send.  I know the reason for the code, but having a hard time trying to permanently delete the error message.  I deleted the email from drafts, placed outlook "offline" as stated in other discussions, but the email keeps on trying to sync with exchange and I continue to get this error message.  Please help me to get rid of this error notification .. thank you
