I gather from reading these emails I did a bad thing today in Outlook for Mac 2011-- I moved 10000 emails from one folder to another. Now my Mac is essentially underpowered as it is stuck trying to "Uploading..." to Exchange. It works at a about 1 email every 3-5 seconds, and all the while it pins my CPU. My Macbook Air fan is about to break under the strain.

Thing is, I seem to be stuck. I cannot stop the process (clicking the little x beside it in the Progress dialog does nothing). Crashing Outlook stops it, but it will restart whenever I reopen Outlook.

Is there ANY way I can kill this process and go back to deleting/moving messages in a more regulated fashion? I can't figure it out.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

PS- I think it is insane that MS doesn't have some sort of a dialog that warns against bulk moves like this, seeing that this is the result.
When I open windows live messenger 2011 it freezes up, and also my fan on my laptop keeps going until I close windows live messenger. ( Sometimes when I open it, it is just a white screen that is frozen) Any suggestions of fixes?

Thanks :)

I'm not a fan of indenting the quoted text when replying to an email.  Is there a way to use the ">" to denote quoted lines?  So the reply looks like this:

> text line 1 from original email
> text line 2 from original email

I thought this quoting style was standard.  It was in Entourage.  I'm getting old.  :-(
