I know there are 8 custom fields that you can add to contacts in Outlook 2011 Mac.  Is there away to give those fields a unique name instead of custom 1, custom 2...etc?

Outlook for both Windows and Mac seem to be lacking in the customizing side.
My e-mail has suddenly stopped working, even though all settings are correct.  ATT my internet provider tells me it is a compatibility problem with Outlook for Mac 2011. I have an old Bellsouth.net address. I have tried various pop and smtp configurations suggested by ATT, but nothing works.  I get a cannot send mail error, please enter username and password, but they are correct and even on re-entering the same error comes up. Do you have any ideas? Thank you Florida Blade.  You can reply on another e-mail address that does work. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Any  ideas
I set up Exchange on Outlook for Mac 2011 and it is connecting fine, downloading all my sub-folders. It says it is downloading emails (e.g. 16 in inbox and the blue bar goes to 16/16) but no emails are displayed in any folders or sub-folders. It says "connected to Exchange" in the bottom right, and "all folders are up to date". I can send emails from it Outlook for Mac, but I can't see any. OWA is working fine. I've downloaded all updates.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Ian

I'm an Office 365 user and I'm running Outlook on 3 MAC's and 2 PC's.  Everything is working fine on all machines except one.  The folders on that one machine are not only not in sync but they are not in order.  I tried to reset the cache on the MAC which is what it says to do to force a resync but that is not working.  The calendars are also out of sync.  On the PC, you just delete the .ost file on the local machine and the file is rebuilt and resynced automatically.  There does not seem to be a similar procedure on the MAC.

Thanks for any help.
Upon retirement, my university email has closed.  I have been trying to change to email offered by my ISP - Charter.

I have a MacBook Pro and use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 that uses Outlook (not Entourage).  

I cannot fully operate my @charter.net email.  I can receive email messages but I cannot send emails.

The error message: "A message in your Outbox could not be sent. The account which created the message cannot be found. # 17199"

I have followed all permutations of instructions on the Charter website and their support staff will only support the web based email site.
