Outlook MAC Rules to move email to offline folder >My Computer

05. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

How can you create a rule to move incoming inbox emails to an offline folder under My Computer. i try to right click on email > create a Rules > select the email > select move to a folder and choose other folder and type in the folder name, i dont see the name of the folder show up in the window.

Only those folders name are showing which are under my online inbox only . It does not allow me to create a rule to move the emails to an offline folder. How do i do that ?

Moving from Windows to Mac version of Outlook

In Outlook for Windows I moved emails to PST folders so I did not exceed my server side capacity.  In Outlook for Mac I have imported my PST to the On My Computer area and can see all of the expected emails.

I am now trying to follow the same logic with the Mac version -> move emails from the Inbox to an "offline folder".  I can drag and drop to a folder On My Computer but instead of a move, it puts a copy in the On My Computer folder and keeps the original in the inbox.

I am guessing either I am not using the right key strokes, have not setup a move option correctly or the Mac version simply does not function in a similar manner to the Outlook for Windows version.  The Mac documentation is not very deep - looking to understand better how the Mac version of Outlook supports offline folders so I can keep my inbox (and online capacity) under control.

Thanks, Bob.

Office Mac Product Key Issue

I have just replaced the SSD in my MBA and have used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old to new SSD.

Now, Outlook wants me to enter my product key, which is stored in an offline folder in Outlook, see where I'm going with this? How can I retrieve the key?

How to reduce size of ‘message sources’ folder

22. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I've seen some related posts but none seem to directly address why this happening or how to fix. In my Outlook for Mac 2011, my 'message sources' folder is a whopping 65 gig. It's killing my MAC Air. My email inbox only has 30 messages in it. I have dragged emails to an offline folder but, even then, the file wouldn't be more than a gigabyte.

So, can anyone please advise how to reduce this folder size?

Many thanks
