Hi all, 
I'm looking for any assistance with this problem i'm having. Recently i purchased a Mac and am using Outlook and it has been working perfectly until yesterday when i received the following error message: 

nskntcmgw08p BigPond Outbound [OB105. Connection refused. 121.212.3.200 is listed on the Exploits Block List (XBL). Please visit http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/ for more information.

As I have always used Windows and have always had an Internet Security software program on my computer I am at a loss as to what this issue is and I don't know anything about this 'spamhaus' website.

Can anyone please assist?  Any feedback would be very much appreciated :)

Cheers,
Anita

Hotmail folders stopped syncing on June 19th

I have mobil Hotmail on a Droid 3.  I checked several folders that I want to sync with my cell phone as of June 19 I am only getting my Inbox mail. New mail into the other checked folders are not syncing. How can I force syncing the folders?  I have a folder for News feeds which should display three new emails every morning - it stopped syncing on June 19th.  I use Push Synchronization

Outlook Contact Address format

26. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
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).

(Latest Lion OS and updated Office 2011 as of 26 June 2012 on Macbook 13" with free RAM and 40% disk space free).

How to retrieve the CONTACTS folder (not addresses, that later) in Live Mail

14. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,
While reorganizing my Live Mail screens I lost my hundreds of email addresses only to find that I also lost the folder where they are kept..  Now I only have News, Calendar, Feeds, and News groups.  I have no place to import my addresses from my old  computer.  Help.

Organizing mail folders

13. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
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!
