Change location of Deleted Items and Junk Email folders in an IMAP connection

03. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
First off, I'm running 14.3.6. I go to Tools->Accounts and choose my account and then I try to change the location of the Deleted Items and Junk email folders but it won't let me choose a location other than the server in the drop-down menu. How can I choose a different location (such as local computer) or even better, eliminate these two folders all together? I'm getting constant error 1025 messages because my IMAP connection is read-only and Outlook keeps trying to create these folders on the server.

Thanks

IMAP connection to Outlook.com from Outlook 2011 on Mac

Hi

 

I set up my email to use IMAP for Outlook.com on Outlook 2011 for Mac. All has been working fine but since yesterday I keep getting the following error whilst trying to check my email

 

MAIL COULD NOT BE RECEIVED AT THIS TIME

 

The server for account xxxxxxx returned the error

Error 8: Server Error. Please try again later. Your

username/password or security settings may be

incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your

password?

 

The strange thing is it will connect to my deleted items or one of the folders I have set up in Outlook.com occasionally and sync them fine, but the majority of the folders won't sync and I get the above error. The fact it connects at all I assume means my username & password are correct.

 

I can't find any reference to this error code elsewhere so I've no idea how to correct this. I am not sure whether its my settings which are wrong (however, it has been working previously and nothing has changed) or its an Outlook.com error.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks

Marcus

Outlook trying to create Junk Email folder in read-only IMAP connection

27. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I'm accessing mail over a read-only IMAP connection and Outlook keeps trying to create a Junk Email folder in the IMAP connection which is causing errors on both the workstation and the server. I've disabled Junk Mail filtering within Outlook but I'm still getting "cannot create folder" errors within Outlook. Is there another setting I'm missing?
