Even though I have 2 active email accounts in Outlook for Mac and they both receive and send mail, I still get this little pop out window telling me I have this error code 3170.  What did I do wrong if I am still getting my mail?
On OS X Lion I have some .mbox files that I want to import to Outlook 2011 but when I get the to point of picking a file to import all files with .mbox extensions are grayed out.  How am I supposed to be able to select them?
After downloading and installing the latest update for Mac a few weeks ago, Outlook will no longer start up.  The startup window appears but then disappears and acts as if nothing happened.  I have tried re-installing all of Office 2011 twice, and I just re-downloaded all the updates (I'm running 14.1.2).  I've also searched these threads for answers and have not gotten any results from anything I've tried.  Thanks for any help.  THis is really frustrating.
Let me start off by saying I'm a PC guy with VERY limited MAC knowledge. I've been put in the role of supporting a MAC user.

Several months ago, we migrated her mailbox from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. When we did so, her Entourage broke. Research showed that Entourage would not work with Exchange 2010, so we upgraded her to Office 2011/Outlook.

At first, things looked to be going fine, then she started complaining about calendar.

I started looking, and her outlook 2011 did not reflect all calendar entries (not even 10% of them). I worked on it for a bit and could not figure out what was going on. She also polls an IMAP mailbox that is outside of our organization. 

Finally, I decided to create a new profile (or as the outlook mac community calls them, a new identity).

I found the database tool and created a new identity and configured it to connect to the Exchange server. Once it finished it synchronization and reported all folders are up to date, I did a comparison.

Her mailbox, if I connect with a PC and Outlook 2010 and look in list view, reflects 1169 items dating back to  2007 and ranging forward to 2017.

On her MacBook Pro (OS X v10.6.8) running Outlook 2011 v 14.2.2 reflects that she has 19 items, all dated in 2012

Any idea what gives here and how to resolve the issue?

Outlook 2011 has crashed again on my MacBook Pro and I cannot rebuild the data base nor recover my files. My email account is no longer available, nor can I open a new account as the error reads that user name or password is incorrect. The Microsoft tech said he could not help and my support ends in 50 days.
This was a regularly used option for me when I had a PC and used Outlook... and am hoping it's just a "hidden" feature for the mac version?
I have opened a few shared calendars and I obviously have tried to do something in the shared calendar I didn't have permissions to do.

Now I CONTINUALLY get:

Error
----
Permission Error. Changes to the event "Ask the expert session - Microsoft" could not be saved because you do not have the appropriate permission.

Details
----


This appears every minute!

The only way to stop the error is to close down the shared calendar which I can't do. I need it.

Also why on earth when you have permissions to view a person calendar does Outlook 2011 think I can send mail in their behalf. Doesn't make sense.

PLEASE get some of the Office 2010 devs to work on Office 2011. It is a crippled product.

Hello

I'm asking this question on behalf of one of our Office:Mac users. After installing and setting up Outlook to connect to the Exchange server in the office, the user is complaining about a rather strange issue. Outlook is behaving as if it was interacting with a POP account, namely deleting server messages after they have been downloaded on the Mac. This becomes apparent when emails come in and are seen on his PC and Phone, but as soon as the Mac receives the email, the message disappears from the server and is only available locally on the Mac. 

I've installed Office:Mac 2011 on another Mac computer to see if I can duplicate the issue, but this installation behaves as you would expect. I can't figure out what the problem is. The Outlook that's acting up is set up straight out of the box with all default settings and connected to one Exchange account. The On My Computer folder is hidden, there are no rules to delete messages on the server, and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it to do what it's doing. 

What diagnostic information can I find, look at, or provide in order to diagnose what's wrong and fix it?

Many thanks
Adrian
