Outlook 14.2.4 (OSX 10.8.2)

It should sync contacts with my apple contacts (On my Mac), but stopped doing so...

Already deleted the com.microsoft.outlook.XXXXX.plist and com.microsoft.SyncServicesAgent.plist. Then reactivated sync services for contacts in Outlook, but no syncing ...

Any clue?
I work from home and use my iMac as my desktop. My firm uses Outlook over an Exchange server since many of us are virtual. Whenever I have responded to and set permissions for calendar sharing with my colleagues, my Outlook freezes up frequently. Also, when I compose an email, I get my address in the sender slot along with those of my colleagues (though it is clear that I don't have permission to email from their accounts). Is there a patch for this to correct the bugs? Or do I have to forget about using calendar sharing on the Mac and get a PC?
MacOffice 2011 - Auto update keeps down loading 14.1.0 when later versions are already on the computer. Installation attempt brings message " Update cannot be installed on this disk. A version of Software required to install this update was not found on this volume". Is this preventing later updates from being down loaded?
When I send out a daily schedule email, I make the effort to have it look clean and professional with all the headlines matching color and size. Yet when my recipients receive the email, the font sizes change around and look terrible. Why isn't the composition I see the same as what my recipients receive?
Pretty simple basic design question - why does outlook even allow me to exit the program if I have pending email in my outbox. Shouldn't it alert me that mail has not yet been sent out? Is there a simple option to enable this? Where is it? Is there a macro or something available to add on? Please let me know.
I just got a new mac and downloaded Outlook 2011. I have had the following issues

1) Outlook keeps syncing to the server. The files in the inbox will disappear and then start downloading all over again. This happens sometimes every few minutes. There is no set pattern.
2) Deleted messages dont sync to the server. So if i delete something on Outlook, when outlook resyncs with the server, it is there again.

I have tried -
1) Creating a new identity - did not help
2) Delete the IMAP account and set it up again - still nothing.

I had Entourage 2004 and it worked like a charm. Is this a mac thing or an outlook thing? How do I fix it!?

Nitasha
why my outlook 2011 for mac can't sync with exchange 2003 ?
Entourage is workable but the the font in calendar looks weird, can i change it ? 

After installing the Office: Mac 2011 when I open Outlook and choose my main identify it does not recognize the identity.  When I tried to rebuild my main identity, it tells me database cannot be rebuilt. This is the first time outlook is installed on my computer. HELP! I’m at a loss on what to do.

(Most of the answers I am finding are old, so am asking the question again as I expect there have been changes since Office 2011 came out.) I want to sync my MS 2011 calendar, contacts and mail to my iPad and iPad from my iMac running Lion. Can someone direct me to the answer? Thank you so much. (Am migrating *back* to 2011 from Address Book, Mail & iCal -- just does not seem to work as well for me. One of the main reasons -- I use my contacts a lot and Address Book does not deal with categories very well. Very tedious process to add a contact and put them in categories and you cannot see what category some are in or if they were even added to a category.) Thanks again for the answer. (Would go through Google but *just yesterday* they discontinued calendar syncing -- if you already have it downloaded fine and they will continue to support, if not, tough. I missed it by one day!)
My outlook is attempting to send a large email continuously. How can I find this email and stop it?
