iam using office mac 2011.When i try to share a calendar permissions is greyed out what is the problem. Using Macbook with os 10.6.8 and connecting to exchange server.
I have a problem with Outlook for Mac (2011 v14.2.4) using IMAP folders. My provider's mail server software (Qmail) creates a file in the root of the folder structure called .qmail - it keeps properties in it I understand - and Outlook seems to not only see this file but decide that it's a folder and subscribe to it automatically. Once this happens it turns into a folder (which then appears on other devices) and I can delete it (but not unsubscribe to it). I have to delete it to stop Outlook posting a 1025 error every 10 minutes or so because it's not accessible.

The .qmail file doesn't show up if the server is queried using the IMAP protocol (LIST "" "*") so I am disappointed that Outlook sees this file AND turns it into a folder by subscribing to it AND won't let me unsubscribe to it after that AND resubscribes me if I unsubscribe using the Webmail tools for this account. It could hardly be handling this more incorrectly if it tried...

Is there any way to check that Outlook is using the IMAP protocol correctly to build it's folder list? It seems from this and other issues on the site as though it really isn't.

For now I have set Tools / Accounts / <this account> / Advanced / Server and unchecked "Sync all IMAP folders every 10 minutes" and have deleted the folder from Outlook. Hopefully it will now stay gone and not give me the error any more but there seems to be a problem now with the unread message count. Presumably this is because the folder isn't being refreshed? In which case D'oh! I have been resetting the unread counts manually: because I read all the mail I can do this fairly easily but if I was using the unread message count seriously it would be completely broken for me now.

Any ideas about how I can get the IMAP folders enumerated correctly so that the .qmail file is not read as a folder? I think this would be okay if Outlook used the IMAP LIST command to read the server but I guess it has some extensions to work with Exchange that are actually not quite compatible...

Thanks for reading!

I recently helped a client move his exchange setup from one host to another. I found the easiest way to approach this problem in Mac (as the import/export function is a forced-bulk operation that I would rather not deal with) was simply to install both the old and new exchange account side-by-side and then drag'n'drop the mails that I wanted to move.

This worked splendidly, and afterwards I removed the old account from his profile. This is where the problem occurs, though. In the bottom status row there's an indication of "moving files: 0/x" with x being the number of mails that we had previously moved to that folder. The messages are now located on the new server, but that status message won't go away. Is there any way to manually cancel a move and as such get rid of the message?
How can I block a junk sender who uses the same sender name but always different domains? (i.e., SENDER@anydomain).
Blocking the domain does not solve the problem with this sender.  Can I use something like "SENDER@* (?)
Thanks.

I have a new macbook pro with the latest operating system (10.8.2), and I can't get outlook (2011) to sync with ical.  I have ical syncing with Google calendar, but nothing on my ical will sync with outlook.  My outlook calendar is completely empty.  I have tried all the suggestions on the web, to no avail.  I have also selected all the sync options in outlook.  Help!
Have re-installed Microsoft Office several times and cannot get Outlook to work. Crashes occurred when rebuilding database on previous attempts and now the program will not allow me to rebuild or open Outlook before crashing.  I get the message below.

I have this same issue using OSX 10.6.8 with the latest patches and MS Office 14.2.4 (Outlook 2011).  It seems that after pressing Preview, after 5-7 seconds, the attachment that's being previewed no longer is "highlighted" and that's when the preview window shows "No items selected".  It's as if another process is taking the focus away from that attachment to something else...
We have sales reps throughout the US and trying to create an Outlook Calendar for each  one of them, but also want to to be shared.
Also, we need to attach docs to each event created in those various Calendars...
I'm trying to research this for NYU IT...

I can't find it in any setting nor via Bing or Google searches.

My clients want the quick-print feature that Word has, just click the printer icon and there's a print...not a window and an additional click or selection(s), just a print.

Interesting that Word and Excel have it, but Outlook doesn't.

Any thoughts?

Outlook Address

Hi,

I am the Exchange Administrator for this small business and for the life of me I can't get this corrected on the SBS 2011.  An exec mgnt would like to have his contacted correct where in the address there is a double comma (ie.  ,, ) next to the address.  I logged into SBS and check out both the ESM and the AD and EVERYTHING seems to be spotlessly correct.  I have even try to erase and retype the address again in case there is some invisible thing going on.  In outlook for Mac 2011, when I search under GAL LDAP, the address seems to be correct.  When I search user Helen LDAP (which is me), it has the WRONG the address with the double comma.  If I click "Update Local Contact" it will update the wrong info on my own contact list.  Can you please suggest where else I can look at?

Thanks!
