Outlook Mac 2011 Can’t Sent-Receive

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

I have a problem with installed version (14.4.2 140509)  of Mac Office 2011 Outlook running on iMac OSX 10.9.3:

1. Initially, about a month after installation, I found that I could not send outgoing emails (replies or new compositions) and that the outgoing emails simply disappeared--i.e. didn't appear in sent or outbox.  The problem was intermittent and now is constant. When attempting to send an email I get error message alert-

-The server for account “Outlook” returned the error “4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later.” Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?---Despite checking password and multiple tries, nothing works. NOTE that the application works at Outlook.com web version and also works if I use the Mac Mail application...

I tried changing port to 587 with 'override port checked

2.  Now, when using the Send/Receive command on the ribbon, I get repeated Outlook alerts--
"An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic"

In Outlook prefs I have the info for account email and password (triple checked) for incoming port 993

Outgoing smtp.outlook.com port 25 (and tried 587)

checked boxes override and use SSL to connect

I see others on the site and a few others seem to have trouble with Outlook mail being sent without hangups--is there a systematic error that can be corrected?

Is there any assurance that a re-install from the CD with fix the problem?

Should I just revert to Outlook web?--that would seem like a waste of the installed software but could do it.

Thanks for any advice--I'm out of my depth with this one.

My name shows up on my wife’s outgoing emails.

This problem started yesterday out of the blue. Everything was fine until then. I have a one month old laptop with Windows 8.1 and Windows mail. I have a Microsoft account. My name shows up on the signon screen. I have 2 email accounts set up on this machine, one for me (call me Marty), one for my wife (call her Debby), using 2 different email addresses as always. Up until now, outsiders saw the name Debby on her outgoing emails, and Marty on mine. No problem. Now her outgoing emails say Marty. Funny though, her emails to me still say Debby. I have gone into the "PEOPLE" contact list but only see the correct names for both of us. I do not see any Marty associated with her email address. However if I sign on to her email and create a new message and start typing Debby, it lists 2 Debbys, one with my email address, one with hers. I can't find where the one with my name on it is located. Is her email's name defaulting to my account name?

btw I am still getting used to Windows 8's weird quirks but overall I really like it.

Error message on outgoing emails

I keep getting outgoing messages held up in my outbox.  I am getting the following message:

The connection to the server has failed.

Subject 'Re: application'
Server: 'smtp.verizon.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0E
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 465
Secure(SSL): Yes
Socket Error: 10060

Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.

UK dictionary and problems setting default email address for outgoing emails

29. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , , ,

I should like to be able to use an UK English dictionary and to be able to access the dictionary to correct or delete incorrect words which I have added by mistake.

I use 3 email addresses but have not been able to set one of these as my default so that it appears every time I create a message.  I have set default but it does not work.

 All these facilities were available on Outlook Express which I used previously. Any assistance on these points would be most welcome.  Thank you.

Outgoing emails put in newsgroup

The emails that I want to send don't go in Outbox folder but they lend in newsgroup and because of that they are not send.

Already recreated my 3 email accounts and Windows 7 is a fresh install with all updates. Windows Live Mail is latest version 2012.

Any idea why would that happened.

Sending emails

15. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
Just recently Windows Live is unable to send any outgoing emails from any of the three email accounts I have.  They all receive emails OK, just won't send them.  It isn't the email account as I'm able to send if I go directly into the email account.  I have email at Comcast.net and Live.  Any suggestions?

S/MIME certificates and keychain access in Outlook 2011 and Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

21. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I recently installed Mac OS X 10.9 (alias Mavericks) and noticed that encryption of outgoing emails is broken.
I can sign emails and I can decrypt emails I received- but the necessary certificates for encryption are not available. It seems the certificates of signed emails I receive are not added to the keychain and therefor not available for encryption. So far I have not found a way to manually add certificates to the keychain. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Is there a workaround or a fix to this issue?
