It is saving my Gmail account items onto my business exchange server which is putting me over their limit..this just started when i downloaed Lion.  Am I missing a step or should I reset the account loaded onto Outlook to correct the issue?  Any help is appreciated.
Is their a way to apply a rule to sort email to an established folder?  I recently began corresponding with a new business contact.  The level of activity of email warranted setting up a folder and creating a rule to sort messages from this contact into the folder.  I was hoping to apply the rule to existing messages in my Inbox so that I would not have to manually seek out pre-existing messages from my new business contact.  In other words have Hotmail / Windows Live do the work.  It does not appear that I cannot; it will only work on future messages from my new business contact.  Perhaps I am missing something?  Any suggestions?
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?
Have just upgraded from Home and student to home and business to get outlook. When I try and use contact groups the contact group button is faded out... Any thoughts how to fix...
I began getting a rebuild Outlook data base message about a week or so ago...rebuilt the data base as requested then the system would not open and gave me a "not enough memory error". Unable to get into Outlook at all as the error message pops up every time I try to get into Outlook.  All other, Office applications work fine. How do I fix. I have a MAC Pro 4 core Tower.
Have an infuriating problem with Outlook for Mac 2011. I have 4 IMAP e-mail accounts set up through Outlook. 

All 4 are with the same domain - provided by Yahoo Small Business.

One of the accounts is fine with very few problems. The others ask for password authentication constantly - sometimes to the point that you can't perform another action before the next error box pops up. 

Yahoo Support thought it might be a security issue and to also log in via the webmail so that the IP is recognised - but this doesn't help. 

What is the problem? It looks like Apple Mail runs the same set up fine. I don't want to switch but will have to soon as this is actually preventing me from getting work done.

It is driving me crazy.

I'm working from home for several weeks. Remote access to Exchange server not available, so the server auto-forwards all email to my Gmail account. 

But I obviously want replies and outbound business messages to show my work address, not Gmail, for several reasons, including:

  • If the emails go via work, copies will sit on the Exchange server for access later and archive
  • Not everyone knows I'm working from home, and want to keep it that way
  • Don't want every Tom, Dick or Harriet selling stuff to know my Gmail address.

I can do this on PC 2010, and can do it in raw Gmail but can't see how to do it on Outlook Mac 2011 which is my preferred email client.

Please help
