Hi - I recently had a Hard disk fail on my Macbookpro - 2010 model - that was running Snow Leopard.

The data was able to be saved from the disk and copied on to an external backup drive, and a new hard disk put in the notebook. 

Given that they installed Lion on the new hard disk i decided to upgrade to Office 2011 at the same time, now when i come to import the main mail identity to outlook 2011, it finds the folder on the external hard disk ok, but then instead of saying importing mail/etc - it just says all imported (impossible its 5GB of data) and click finish to use outlook.

Help  -i have alot of emails and contacts on there that are needed!


Hello,

So, I had to rebuild my identity for Outlook - in fact 2 time in less than a week.  After it completed the second time I shut down Outlook and restarted it.  I entered all of the server info as I had done previously and this time it is not working.  What I mean by that is that I can see my Outlook mailbox and associated folders that I have set up.  But it will not load my old message or the old messages in my mailbox.  Also, the data in my folders is not there.  Looking for any suggestions to try before de-installing/re-installing.

Thanks,
Allison
Detailed directions will be highly appreciated.
outlook 2011 opens - encounters an error and shuts down - with japanese proofing error
I just went through the process of uninstalling Microsoft office 2011 and reinstalling 2011 and the update of 14.2.3 (I had the identity issue) -

Outlook now opens but then shuts down saying it is encountering an error.  The error has something to do with Japanese Proofing Error.

How do I correct this?

Thanks,
Donna
Whenever i try to open outlook, it says it can't open because of  problem. Does anyone have a solution
I asked this question some time ago and since it didn't back then, I quit using it.  However, before I decide to move back to Exchange, has any of the updates that have been handed out until current allow the program to sync rules and junk settings information?
I am currently trying to import a hoard of messages for a friend after upgrading from his Outlook Express on his PC laptop to Outlook 2011 on Macbook Air.

We have successfully exported the email folders from his Outlook express into .dbx files. We successfully converted the files using 'DbxConv' for PC, as well as 'Email Converter Pro' for Mac. However, when we tried to import these .mbox files through Outlook (Mac) the files weren't recognised (using either of the converter programs). 

We are unsure of how to proceed, but would love to find an answer asap, as the Mac has been bought for business purposes and the thousands of saved emails are vital!

The option of importing individual .eml files is not possible as there are thousands to go through and would be massively time consuming.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks in advance.
Hi all,

I'm using outlook 2011 to connect to an exchange server. I use a notebook and I'm working from different place. So I configured my /etc/hosts file for proper resolving of the exchange server name. My exchange hostname is cose0101. So when I change my environment, sometimes the exchange server is resolvable via DNS.
The outlook changes the hostname in the preferences of outlook. Then when I change my location the connection did not work anymore, because now the name is not resolvable via DNS or hosts anymore. So I have manual to reconfigure the setting.

So, my question is: How can I stop the automatic reconfiguration of my account setting?
