Office for Mac 2011
Outlook for Mac 2011 14.2.5

I created Contact Groups in my Contacts. I can access the groups in my email, but I can't see them to display or update in my contact list. What do I need to do to see them?

So I've added some custom fields to a contact and would like to have this configuration appear for all new contacts but there does not seem to be a way to do this.  I'm guessing this is going to fall under the "this isn't possible but feel free to submit a feature request" category which seems to be the case will all related topics I've been reading such as renaming the custom fields to something more meaningful than 'Custom 1, Custom 2" etc.

Of course, I'd be happy to be wrong with my assumption and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks--

I'm using Outlook 2011 Mac with Exchange.  It says "sync pending" and then "downloading attachments" and then never stops cycling through this apparently not recognizing that it has downloaded the attachments?  Any ideas?  I am using a new MacBook Air 11".  I do not have this problem on any of the 5 other devices that are using Outlook 2011 for Mac with this Exchange server.

I'm not able to use the search function in Outlook Mac 2011 (14.2.5) with my IMAP email account. I can see all my emails just fine, but when I search for something that I know should have hits, the results are completely blank. I've tried rebuilding the database, I've tried creating a new database and starting fresh, but nothing seems to work. I'm using a 27 in iMac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB of Ram, running OSX 10.7.5.

I have been using outlook for almost 20 years, but I am about to give up on it.  When I switched to Mac in 2010, I loved the ease of use of the MAC OS compared to the perpetually bugged MS Windows OS. 

 

I found a few things though.   While Office 2008 for Mac was prettty good, the Entourage email app was pretty poor not allowing HTML formatted email.  This is not a major problem except when trying to forward HTML emails as they would appear all scrambles.  As imperfect as Entourage was in email, the calendar and contacts feature were solid and syncing with iCal and Mac address book was ROCK solid.

 

I upgraded (now it feels like a downgrade) to Outlook 2011.  There is no question that the other apps (word, excel, powerpoint) are better than the 2008 Office, but Outlook 2011 is HORRIBLE due to problems syncing with iCal and address book. 

 

I was able to sync with iCal and Address book for a while, but eventually the sync services stopped syncing appointments.  After hours and hours of research, I found that I could deactivate MS Sync Services in Outlook preferences, in the Library > Preferences folder I deleted the file named: com.microsoft.Outlook.SyncServicesPreferences/plist file and reset sync history in iSync.

 

I then turn on sync services but I found that every time I did this I got duplication of any calendar event that was an "all day" event.  The only way to do this would be to delete all my calendars in iCal before starting to sync again to replace all the data in iCal.  The other bigger problem is that after a while, the syncing would again stop working. 

 

Sure I could reset everything again, but the effort to go through this process over and over 1-3 times per day makes this process unworkable for me.  I have worked on this problem too long.   The bottom line is that MS Outlook 2011 Sync Services DO NOT WORK RELIABLY!!!

 

After almost 20 years, I must now say goodbye to Outlook. Without a reliable sync to iCal ( and then to my iPhone) Outlook calendar and address book are useless to me.  Sad day, but if anyone can help me fix this problem, I will happily stay with Outlook as the calendar is much better than iCal, but without rock solid syncing, it is useless.


Had carefully added rules to organize my incoming emails.  Now, suddenly, emails are going into inappropriate folders.  I've looked into the last few rules that I have created and nothing seems to explain the problem.  Anyone else had this happen or have suggestions on how to fix it?  

 
Original Title: "Email issue"

Mail List Manager - Can you hide the email accounts when using this tool to send a group email? Do not want everyone to see all other accounts. I know that a work-around is to send the email to myself and blind copy the group.

I have read all the posts.  I see no longer syncs with iContacts and iCalendar with updated MAC OS.  Beyond silly.  Where are the apps or add-in? ANY options?

I also tried running Windows 8 with Office 2010 using Parallels... But email latency time was just horrific so trying to use all MAC ready software.

Need an option
