I just got a new mac and downloaded Outlook 2011. I have had the following issues

1) Outlook keeps syncing to the server. The files in the inbox will disappear and then start downloading all over again. This happens sometimes every few minutes. There is no set pattern.
2) Deleted messages dont sync to the server. So if i delete something on Outlook, when outlook resyncs with the server, it is there again.

I have tried -
1) Creating a new identity - did not help
2) Delete the IMAP account and set it up again - still nothing.

I had Entourage 2004 and it worked like a charm. Is this a mac thing or an outlook thing? How do I fix it!?

Original Title: "Outlook is terrible"

I downloaded Outlook because of the MS hype about it. I experienced the following problems:
1.  I cannot see the "Options" in the blue bar on top without pointing my cursor at the bar and dragging across to have those options appear.

2. I can no longer open an email addressee's info to change or add an email address.  I downloaded Outlook as it was hyped as such a good product.  At this point I think it stinks (technical word).

3.  I called an 800 number that was supposed to be a support line for the home user.  I connected with someone in India who told me that to fix "My" problem I would have to pay him $69.95 (Oh! it is a one time charge..give me a break!)

Can anybody out there help me fix "MY" problem.  Somebody should have a looong chat with M. Gates.  This really stinks!
