I have upgrade my MacBook Pro to use Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). In doing so I have found that the Office Outlook Mail Client (version 14.4.5 (141003)) does not appear to be able to get email from the previously configured Exchange server. I followed some instructions on the internet for reinstating my "Identity", by removing a .plist file, and deleting my identity from the "Microsoft Data" folder. But this has had no effect on the result. I'm still unable to connect to the server.

In fact, in recreating my account I am now getting constant requests from the client to "Allow" trust to a https redirected auto discover service. This question dialog is appearing repeatedly. I have tried the AppleScript solution that is mentioned elsewhere in this forum which says to apply the following script to stop the message, but that fails with a scripting error:

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set background autodiscover of exchange account 1 to false
end tell

I don't know what else to try. Can you please help as using the web interface to Outlook / Exchange is very inconvenient.

Cheers,  S t u a r t .
