I have a similar problem - I can't get Outlook on my MAC to default to my work address even though it is listed as the default. Urghhhh!

[This was posted under "How can I set up a different signature for email replies in outlook for Mac?"and has nothing to do with signatures. Moving to it's own topic.]
I asked this in similar post but thought what was happening was the incoming messages were alerting me and then moving to ether-ville.  But now I am thinking after trying a bunch of things to view/find them that maybe somehow the rules are somehow looking at existing messages and reprocessing?
SMART FOLDERS
My save searches for SMART FOLDERS are not sticking in Outlook 2011 of Mac.  I have a edit the smart folder every day to exclude my DELTED, SENT, JUNK folders for a save search for TODAY's emails.  I like to look in this smart folder view as I move mail into various folders on my Exchange server and local "on my computer."  The feature works great, but I have to rebuild the FOLDER filter every time.  The Advance search keeps the "FOLDER IS NOT" search filter, but breaks the "FOLDERS" to exclude.  Mark
Hello,

I would like to know how to prevent a "bug" that has already forced me to reinstall Office 2011 for Mac.

My problem comes from the "smart folders" of theTasks section of Outlook.

After a minute, the order of my categories refresh itself (the list disappears and reappears) and my categories are in complete disorder.

I have already solved my problem with, in the past:
  • de-indexed and reindexed my folder "MS User Data"
  • reconstructed my identity
  • imported my identity a new identity
  • tested Outlook with another Mac OS X account
  • and finally completely reinstalled Office for Mac.

Could you advise me to avoid this error?
Rem.: I'm working with all options of synchronization enabled (OSX Lion and an iPod Touch from the 4th generation).
I'm using Office for Mac 14.2.1.

Thank you for your understanding and for your response.

PS: Currently, my smart folders with tasks are "buged" again ;(.
Sorry for my english i'm french.

the 'help' instructions don't appear to match the navigation.  It tells me to select 'import and export' under 'file.  however, on my version 'import' and 'export' are separate choices.
How can I customise the contact address format.  In the UK the initial part of the address may take several lines (e.g. house name, estate name, street name).  It would be OK if you could multi-line e.g. the 1st field but you can't even do that (as the Mac built-in address book allows).  So I need to either add fields or multi-line fields before it can work

I was forced to urgently purchase this software because of price increases (i.e. beak MS changing their US$ to GB£ to 1=1 !!).  And I have to say, Outlook is an embarrassment to MS.  I seem to be spending ages reporting bug after bug on the feedback form, but these are more of a nuisance and annoyance than stopping functionality.  It is the lack of functionality (functionality that was often in Entourage) that is the main problem.  It is marginally unworkable but as it could not even import my Apple Mail accounts and messages that took a full day to do manually so I'm going to persevere.  It's not like it's a just released product either I(where one has to be tolerant of "issues").

So help sorting out these things would be much appreciated as I have a lot invested (in terms on money and time).

I delegate someone on my outlook account. Now, although I removed this person from my delegates, every time someone send an event I do not receive it, instead the old delegate receives it. We checked and in the delegate window it says that there are no delegates!!! Any help??? I am on Mac, Outlook 2011.

How can i export my contacts from Outlook for Mac 2011 to gmail?

The help instructions tell me to go to File, select Import & Export.  But I can't see an Import & Export selection.  The Import selection is separate from the Export selection.  And what follows bears no relation to the Help instructions.

Can anyone help, please?
