I have just purchased a new MacBook Air and just installed Microsoft Office 2011 Business. I want to set up Outlook to use my 'gmail' email account and am trying to set this up. When I try to open Outlook, for the first time, it asked me to select an
identity. I select Main Identity, not sure what this means, I am getting a message "Could not change to that identity. An unknown error has occurred in Outlook". Also when I selected Quit it happened. I have gone into 'preferences' 'mail, contacts & calendars
and put in my gmail account, but still get error. Eeek... What am I doing wrong?
Mac version of Outlook 2011 sets time increments in Calendar to 30 min blocks.
I want to reset this so that the Calendar shows 15 minute blocks.
The method for doing this with Windows version does not work on Mac.
Hi Guys, hope you can help me, i need to uninstall and re-install my office 2011 with a new product key details. i was wondering how to perform a back-up for my outlook data (signature, emails, etc) and restore it later once the office has been re-installed
so it will be exactly the same? please help! thank you
We share a mailbox between 4 users and take work from a shared mailbox. In Entourage, when you moved an email from the shared mailbox to your inbox it would remove it from the shared. We just installed Outlook 2011 for Mac and it's causing problems of
duplicate work because if we forget to go back and delete from shared after moving the email remains in the queue for another person to grab. Is there a setting to change this or has Microsoft screwed me again?
This is the third or fourth attempt to solve this problem. Each keystroke while typing an email in Outlook causes a latency of several seconds. Each time I hit a key I see the spinning colored wheel then the letters or whole words or several words a several
seconds later on the screen. Something is wrong here. I have tried each fix suggested in this blog. Changing "rules" deleting the cache, removing duplicate fonts. Nothing has soled the problem. It seems to actually be getting worse. I do have emails residing
in Outlook (in box and sent) that should be archived but don't know how to simply archive them. The PC version prompts you to archive the Mac version does not. Maybe this is the cause of the problem? Outlook is not functional with this problem. Anyone with
suggestions? Please assist. No other Office for Mac 2011 is experiencing this problem, only Outlook.No other program on my laptop is suffering from this problem, only Outlook.
I'm trying to better organize (and understand) my mail folders. The current setup looks like this:
Inbox
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Drafts
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Sent Items
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Deleted Items
- Company_Name
- On My Computer
Company_Name
- Conversation History
- quarantine
- RSS Feeds
- Sync Issues
- Subscribed Public Folders
Junk E-mail
Smart Folders
- Flagged Mail
- High Priority Mail
- Overdue Mail
This is for a corporate Exchange account. I have a rule setup (called Auto Archive) that says "If date received greater than 60 days, move message to Inbox (On My Computer)"
Corporate policy is to remove mails from the Exchange server greater than X days old, so this archives them in my 'Inbox (On My Computer) folder.
A couple of issues/questions:
1) Sent items > 60 days old *also* end up in the 'Inbox (On My Computer) folder. How can I have Sent Items get archived in 'Sent Items (On My Computer)'?
2) Given the folder hierarchy outlined above, if I wanted to create a 'Reference' folder for items I want to keep but require no response, where would I create it?
3) Also, if I were to create a rule to for mails from distribution lists to go into a specific folder or rules for moving messages where I'm in the To: or CC: field, where should that folder get created?
I'm confused as to whether they should reside under the Inbox somewhere or within the second grouping of folders (Conversation History, quarantine, etc.).
Thanks!
I am running Outlook 2011 and meetings I accept are showing up on my calendar as if I had not acted on them yet. I am receiving the error in the title for about 10 events. The suggestion is delete the event and create a new one. Some of these are events
I have received from others so I don't know how that is possible. Help!
