about 500 of my sent emails from my desktop Outlook for Mac 2011 do not upload to the IMAP server.  therefore I am not able to see these sent messages from my desktop on my phone or the webmail.  Any thoughts? 

In Outlook 2011, I've noticed that double-clicking a JPG file from an email opens the default JPG viewer - in this case, Preview. Apparently, any document you open from Outlook 2011 is automatically 'Locked' - you can Get Info on the file in the Finder to see this automatic behavior. After it opens in Preview, saving the JPG out to any folder, especially the Desktop, returns an error saying: The document "nameofdocument.jpg" could not be saved as "nameofdocument.jpg". You don't have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.

 

It doesn't seem to do this with PNGs, even though they too are locked by Outlook 2011 when opened from the email by double-clicking.

 

Now, I can drag it out of the email to the Desktop without issue as well as right-click the attachment and choose Save As..., but double-clicking, opening with default JPG viewer and saving from there always returns the above issue. Several others I know have reported similar behavior.

 

Any ideas?

I have Outlook on my MacPro and a live.com e-mail account. I have been able to access my e-mail on wireless networks--at home or as a guest--without difficulty for several months now. This morning I have encountered trouble getting into my live.com account. iPhone works for the account and other programs accessing the internet from my Mac are working well. I have deleted the account and reloaded it but still get an error (3259) which states "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Any ideas on what is happening here and what I should do? Thanks!
In Outlook 2010 and prior, it was simple to have Outlook automatically add people that you send an email to or reply to an email to your contacts list.  In Outlook 2011 for Mac, I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this!  I need to set it up for a client so that whenever they send an email to someone or reply to an email from someone it automatically gets added to their contacts list.

Please advise - Thank you.
I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to change the default font for messages in the Preferences of Outlook 2011. Is there some secret? I change it. Close the window. Reopen the window and go to the Fonts tab for Preferences. It's back to Calibri. I've tried changing it, quitting Outlook, relaunching Outlook, and checking the Preferences, only to find that it's reverted to Calibri. I've changed other Preferences, but this one won't take. Please help.
I have set up a Gmail, iCloud and microsoft exchange email account for work. 

It was all working fine, but suddenly i can no longer send mail. It all goes into the outbox. I try to resend and it does not send. 

the Sent refresh twirl just keeps twirling.

I tried to open Outlook and I got the message that "the database daemon has encountered a problem and has to close". Also Outlook rebuilt my identity but I still kept getting this same message when I tried to open it. I would really appreciate help with this problem.
