I made folder inside my INBOX for ease of putting emails there. I put some recent received and send emails there and they have all disappeared. I guess in retrospect it was dumb of me to put a folder inside my INBOX. I have now removed that folder and put it in the regular place where folders go, but those emails are gone. How do I find those emails? .

The NY Times is a site I don't even want in my junk mail. I've "swept" it so it is blocked (supposedly) from even the junk mail folder. I continue to get this spam junk from nytimes.com. How do I permanently block it from all of my inbox, including junk mail?

I have set up a filter to block scammers but those african scammer seems to know how to get around it and keep fulling my inbox with their scam and i have to suffer for them, hotmail should find a way to block those african scammers from flooding users e-mail and now I have to verify my account , what can I do about that

This issue started about a week ago. If I ignore all the known issues with Outlook 2011 since moving to Mountain Lion, I would say Outlook has been running fine until last week. I couldn't see anything on the forum that was similar to my issue. I have also posted this to the Apple support forum.


Here's my computers info:

  • OS X (10.8.2(
  • Processor: 3.1 GHZ Intel Core i5
  • Mem: 12 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3
  • Office 2011 Version 14.2.5


Here's the issue:

My work email is set up in Outlook 2011 version 14.2.5 using IMAP. I go through my day as usual reading emails, responding to them, and filing them away in folders (on the server). I can go through 100 emails in my inbox to only 10 by the end of the day, all have been read. Emails that are no longer in my inbox have been either read, responded to, filled away and/or deleted. I am able to receive and send emails with no errors. However, once I leave work and view my emails online or on another program (such as MacMail), I see those 100 emails still in my inbox! I see no pattern to it either. (The most recent email in a conversation has been marked as read but several earlier ones were not).

The strangest part: All those emails I filed away in folders on the server or deleted are in those folders AND in my inbox. Therefore, if I refile the emails, or delete them I will have duplicate emails in those folders. I've tried repairing the folder but that only put the server inbox back into my outlook but I still can't make any changes that show on the Webmail. We've also rebuilt the identity and that didn't do anything.

If I make any changes in Mail (On a different computer that is on Snow Leopard) or on the web, I just sync Outlook and it shows the changes in Outlook but it won't show any of my Outlook changes in the webmail.

 

Essentially this is the syncing issue: 

Other programs --> Server --> Outlook = OK

Server --> Outlook = OK

Outlook -x-> Server = NOT OK

 

I'd like to reiterate that this started last Tuesday (Nov 20) and I can still receive and send emails just fine and no email has been lost.  Our IT can't figure it out.

Hello ,

All my emails were deleted from my inbox , I have a few emails that are really important for me (they are critical to a legal case) ,I didn't realize the inbox is emptied periodically without me doing it myself.

I will appreciate it if you can recover my emails, especially the ones from 10 years ago.

Thank you in advance !

Hello,

I have two questions :

Question  1 :

My inbox in Outlook 2011 for Mac (14.2.5) is refreshing every few minutes, meaning my all emails disappear at once and they are re-appearing, being downloaded again, one by one. This happen maybe 20 times per hour (how frustrating it is...)
What is the option(s) I need to adjust in my settings ?

Question 2:

I cannot send anymore pictures above 1.5MB (and I could send some before). And for smaller pictures, it takes a lot of time....
What is the option(s) I need to adjust in my settings ?

Are the above issues a general problem with Outlook and Mac or is this an issue with my Imac (bought few months ago) ?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I just installed Office for Mac 2011 and succesfully added my 3 email accounts: two gmail accounts and one hotmail account.
I don't need the different folders to be synced (I know that won't work with POP3) but I'd like to have a 'hotmail' inbox folder in the left bar, just like the two 'gmail' folders that were created for my different gmail inboxes.
The strange thing is that under 'Inbox' only 'on my computer', 'gmail' and 'gmail zz' are shown, not a 'hotmail' inbox folder. 
Where can I find my hotmail emails? Hope you can help, thanks.

I use the account daily and noticed after running a separate program and coming back to Hotmail (via Chrome) a pop up message saying something about "you must select a message to perform this action" kept repeatedly appearing.  I shut down Chrome and now my inbox is empty.  All files in folders are intact.

It looks like some kind of cleanup was happening but I didn't select this option.  Any help?  
I can log in to mailbox  but it looks different that my hotmail I had before today and none of the folders, inbox etc. be used ...
