I'm having some issues with Microsoft Live Mail.  The first issue is that new mail doesn't automatically appear in my in box.  I have to hit the send/receive button, go out of the application and log back in before the mail appears.  The second issue is that if I delete an e-mail in my inbox, it doesn't disappear until I go out of the application and then log back in.
I have just bought Microsoft Office with Outlook for Mac as I didn't like Entourage and its inability to link with hotmail like Outlook does on a PC. However I have now found that Outlook on a Mac doesn't link with Hotmail either!

I have tried to use a Gmail account, to transfer my hotmail account to then use Outlook to sync to, as Gmail is IMAP and Hotmail is only POP. As I understand it this is the issue?

What I am now having problems with is:

- Under On My Computer / Inbox / Gmail it has downloaded all of my emails, through all of my folders. 900 and counting! Then lower down where it says Gmail and then has all of my folders, there is nothing in this Inbox. How can I get it to just show the emails in my inbox and not the ones I have already filed?

- On hotmail I have got my folders organised with subfolders also, this has not carried through to Gmail nor subsequently Outlook. Is there a solution to this? I.E I have a main folder for 'Personal' then under that there would be one for 'Finance', 'Sport' etc.

Really disappointed with Outlook for Mac as it just doesn't do as it does on a PC and everything else on Apple products seem to work so seamlessly, but email doesn't seem to be.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Paul.
Hi,

I have installed Microsoft office mac 2011 on my apple laptop last year. Yesterday, when I tried to open an existing word doc and try to do a spelling and grammar check it says "Word cannot start the spelling check. The spelling checker files may be missing. Make sure the spelling checker file are installed or use the Microsoft office Installer to install the spelling checker." I can't exit out after this pop up appears the only way to exit is to force quit on my apple computer. 
Please let know why this is happening and how I can possibly fix it. 

Thanks!
Why were all messages in my inbox deleted without warning nor my permission?

I am in the same position as the user who posted this.  I've used and paid for Hotmail for years and never had an issue until now.  And I'm still waiting to hear answers to the following:


Question # 1:   Why was my inbox cleared out without warning or my permission?

Question # 2:   Can those mails be put back back into my inbox or my Do Not Delete folder?

Question # 3.   How can I prevent this from happening in the future?


Microsoft---PLEASE help me!



Downloaded Microsoft + seven to my Android phone but the whole program did not install. Missing the menu bar. Cannot get into the folders section. Cannot brouse any folders or sub folders All the rest works well. Who has a fix?
Thank You
After installing and later reinstalling Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 on my new MacBook Pro, my Outlook worked fine.  

However, yesterday I reinstalled again using the same DVD on the same computer and Outlook now no longer works.  

It says: “Could not change to that identity. An unknown error has occurred in Outlook”.  

When I press "OK", it then tells me to "Select an identity".  

There is only one identity showing, which is "Main identity".  

When I press "OK", it goes back to the previous error message, and so on, backwards and forwards between the two messages, and Outlook never opens.  

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Why this mandatory Windows Live Mail updates?

Microsoft has no legitimate right to force anyone to install Windows Live Essentials update. However, when I installed it I got Assertion Failed error message, and Microsoft can't even fix the problem. What a shame!
