I would like to change the background color of my mailbox from white to some other color, such as beige, to be easier on my eyes. Can I do this, and if so, how? Thank you.
my back up says datos de users microsoft, and i have no olm. how can i bring this into the new english mac 2011

I was deleting old emails from Outlook 2011 for Mac, OS 10.6.8, when the program crashed. 

Upon restarting, all my calendar events were gone, except for one event.  Meanwhile, all my contacts and email appear to be intact.

I have my Outlook data backed up with duplicate of my identity, but that backup was from three weeks ago. 

Is there a way to merge the newer emails and contacts that are still on my non-backup identity with the backed up identity, with the intent to not lose any of the data created between now and my last backup?

I also have Outlook 2011 syncing with iCal in order to sync with my iPhone. 

Thanks in advance,

When I go to save an email message, I do not get the "save AS..." option that Outlook Help says that I should be seeing. I just see "save," so I can't save the file as txt or PDF or anything else. This happens whether I'm simply highlighting the message in a list or trying to save the email when it's open. I'm using Ver. 14.2.5, the latest.
I work in an environment that is mostly pc although a few of us also have Macs. I am seeing fewer details on individuals in the global address book on the Mac side vs the PC side.

For example we have a Corporite ID field on the PC version that doesn't show on the Mac side. We also have Group memberships on the PC that don't show up on the Mac side.

Is there any way to adjust the Mac version to populate these fields?
On the left side of the screen, the list of all the folders.  I somehow closed this and can't figure out how to restore it.
Hello, my boss has a mac and is using office 2011 for it. I am using outlook 2007 on a windows machine. Is there any way for me to create a distribution group from my machine and send it to his? He has shared his contacts with me and i am able to search the people i need and create a group but when i send the distribution group to him via email it is unrecognizable and he cant drag it to his contacts. Do you have any suggestions on how I can create this group so he can see it in his contacts? Thank you.

I have tried the steps provided in the forum viz.

1. Logout and login with shift key depressed
2. Change the /Library/Automator folder and try update again.

But, the issue with the update still persists. I am currently on 14.2.4, ML 10.8.2
I am using Outlook 2011 for Mac and would like to add my Window Live email account to my mailbox in outlook. Once added, I can receive my email in outlook but am unable to send outgoing mail through outlook - the error that comes up is saying 'The server does not support secure connections'. I have configured the SMTP with "25" as it is suggested I do by Microsoft but I know this setting is optimized for Outlook Express. How do I get this working correctly allowing me to use outlook for all my email accounts?
