With Microsoft Outlook 2011, if you have multiple calendars it can be really confusing to try and create a new appointment on a particular calendar.

With Outlook 2010 for Windows, if you only are displaying a single calendar, then that calendar is also "selected" with a checkmark and used when you make a new appointment.

However, Mac Outlook 2011 easily allows the user to have a single calendar displayed but have a DIFFERENT calendar "selected" with a checkmark. In that condition, when you make a new appointment the appointment does not go to the calendar that is being displayed, which is what the user expects! Instead it goes to the calendar that is currently selected.

Is there some way to fix this behavior? Why would Outlook 2011 allow you to select a calendar but not display it?  -Steve

Hi All,

All of a sudden I have been experiencing a prolonged spinning wheel when working in Microsoft Outlook 2011 for MAC. It seems to only occur when working in Outlook and takes about 45 seconds until the wheel stops.

I have checked for recent updates, cleaned my desktop, archived emails, cleared my browser cache, and went to the Apple Genius bar to see if there is a hardware problem. Nothing has resolved this problem.

Here is some information about my computer:

I am working with a MacBook, OSX v 10.5.8.

Please let me know if you need more relevant information.

Thanks in advance.

 

It is saving my Gmail account items onto my business exchange server which is putting me over their limit..this just started when i downloaed Lion.  Am I missing a step or should I reset the account loaded onto Outlook to correct the issue?  Any help is appreciated.
It would greatly help me to de-stress about the terrible loopholes in Office 2011, particularly Outlook's functionality, synching and spelling checkers  if I knew what MS is working on. If I knew they were paying the slightest bit of attention to our working needs in practice, I could at least resign myself to waiting. Does anyone know what the next gen office suite is likely to have built in as improvements?

How can I set up, that emails from a certain sender address will be directly stored in a subfolder? I receive around 50 emails a day, around 15 arrive from one, to keep the overview, I would like to install that emails from this sender will be directed to a subfolder - How can I set up this service?
Thanks ik

My main calendar folder in Outlook for Mac was accidentally moved into my "Deleted Items" folder at some point.
The calendar still ran.
But, I didn't know it was in there, & when I went to manually delete items in that folder today, it took my entire calendar away.

Now I'm not able to retrive it.
It has my life in there from 2007 to 2013!
I am one of those people that literally use my calendar to tell me what to do each day & now all is lost.
I was backing up my files, only to find that the "calendar" I had been saving was Outlook's name for it -- & it is blank.

- To be clear, I am not using a server
- I did not hook up TimeMachine (but will soon because of this)
- I tried rebuilding my main identity on Outlook & it kept erroring out
Then I read an article that said rebuilding can do more harm that good if you continue to do!

The Microsoft people said if the rebuild doesn't work, they can't help.
The Mac people said I can maybe get it retrieved with forensic software, but that's about it.

Who can I even find that could help me restore this file with forensic software?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Dear Microsoft.

If I send an email using Outlook 2011 for Mac, it puts two "From:" fields in the headers of this mail.

If for instance I send a mail to myself, the source contains 

   "From: Mark Timmer <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>"

and a bit further on 
  
   "From: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***". 

If I use webmail, this is not the case. Now, several mail servers reject my emails, giving a "permanent fatal error" with the error message

   "reason: 550 Messages should have one or no From headers, not 2.".

Could this please be resolved? I doesn't seem like I can change anything to fix this, can I?

Kind regards,
Mark Timmer
My MacBookPro has Lion and the latest version of Office for Mac 2011.
I have the same configuration with my iMac.
On my imac I haven0t problem, but with the MacBookPro evey time I boot it or open my profile, the system rebuild the identity.
I have already deleted some .plist files and I have also deleted the identity.
Every time it rebuilding the identity.
