Delay in receiving Outlook messages

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: couple of minutes, delay, email, Exchange, iPhone, Outlook 2010, Outlook messages, Windows

I will get an Exchange email on my iPhone a couple of minutes before it appears in Outlook on my Mac. Why would it take longer to receive in Outlook 2011. I never had that problem when I used Outlook 2010 for Windows. The messages are received simultaneously.

I can create a new folder for emails but when i double click to name the folder, it only stays in edit mode for 1-3 seconds - not enough time to fully type the folder name. Anyone know what causes this and/or how to fix this? it's anoying not being able to edit folder names.

How do I consolidate 2 calendars in Outlook?

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: appointments, Calendar, calendars, downloaded, file, Outlook, pst, time, windows version

I downloaded a pst file from my windows version. However, I want to use one calendar. Although I can access the pst calendar where I have most of my appointments, every time I add an appointment it goes to the other calendar file.

Thanks

Items will not delete from Inbox

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: click, issue, Quit, recove, way

I have researched the answers to questions related to items NOT deleting from the Inbox. My issue seems to be different. When I click on one of several messages

in my Inbox, and select delete, nothing happens to the message. After some time perhaps 30 seconds or so, the spinning pinwheel appears. Once the pinwheel appears the Outlook is frozen, and the only way to recove the program is to "force Quit" Outlook. When I do that, and Outlook starts, the messages I want to delete are still in the Inbox!

Anyone have an answer or a solution?

Items deleted from Outlook (Mac 2011) go to Recycle. How do I empty only Outlook items from recycle?

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: calendar entries, click, Deleted, folder, Folders, icon, Office for Mac 2011, Recycle, reference

When I delete items from Outlook from Office for Mac 2011, from folders such as email-inbox, they go to the Deleted folder. When I delete these from the deleted folder, they go to the trash. When I delete other items from folders like contacts, calendar entries, tasks etc. they go to the trash, not the deleted folder? Is this correct?.\

When I click on the TRASH icon and select "All my files", it appears to contain only items such as those above. They show in trash to be "messages", "events", "contacts" etc. Does "All My Files" reference only those in trash, or does it means all the files on the hard drive. Are these only all the files in trash?

If these are only the files in trash, then I assume I select every entry from top to bottom, (there are more than 10,000 itmes) and delete all?

My outlook email accounts with all folders completely disappeared on Mac.

I use Mac-Pro, use Microsoft Office, especially outlook for work emails constantly everyday. Steady amount of emails, incoming, saving, sending. active work daily.

This morning, only Outlook looks blank and no copy of the emails or folders found anywhere. I tried re-starting the machine and it did not work.

Other microsoft documents are saved and can be used (word, excel).

How can I retrieve my emails??????

Thanks!

Outlook times out when sending and receiving

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: horrid, iCould, mac, SSL, Times

Outlook Times out. I am running outlook 2011 on Lion. I have an @mac email address on the horrid iCould. I can only get Outlook to run intermittently for a few hours then I get this message, “An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic”. I have spent a good bit a time trolling sites for answers. Everyone seems to think the problem is in the settings. I have found several different suggestions on what the settings should be. For both incoming and outgoing settings - the general consensus seems to be, mail.mac.com. They all say however, not check off SSL. But during the brief times when my Outlook has been working, the SSL features have been checked. (I think I have tried every combination imaginable). Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Listing Companies in Contacts

Is there anyway to select to list by Individual or Company name in Outlook 2011 for MAC. I would like Company to be the primary sort field on business contacts and Last name to the be the primary sort field on individual contacts. I think you can do it in iAddress but cannot find that option in Microsoft. Thanks for your help.

Old messages downloaded a second time.?

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: application, message, Outlook, Server, time

Every few weeks my Outlook downloads every message from my server even though they are already down loaded. This can be thousands. It only happens when opening the application. What could cause this?

When I change the account from which I’m sending an email it doesn’t automatically change the signature to the default signature for the new account.
