My outlook account is gone!

24. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: data, email, Outlook, Outlook account, program, user
I logged in this morning to find that my account in Outlook is gone as if I have never used the program. It seems that the database found under the Micorsoft User Data is still there, but Outlook does not recognize it. How can I regain access to my archived email?

How do I remove my outlook account and re-add it without losing data?

Suddently can’t send emails through Outlook 2011 for Mac

06. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: error, error message, incoming emails, issue, office, Outlook account, Suddently, use
There are 4 of us in the office and we all use Outlook for Mac 2011.  A few weeks ago, 2 of us noticed that suddenly the emails we sent through Outlook were not getting to the recipients (the other 2 are sending and receiving with no problem).  We get no error message, and it looks as if our emails have been sent (they appear in our sent box).  We found out they weren't actually being sent because several people told us they did not receive emails that we had sent them.  Incoming emails work fine.  Outgoing emails to the other 3 people in the office do work, but no one else.

Since then I've contacted our email service provider several times about this issue.  They've had me change the outgoing server info in my Outlook account settings.  I've tried changing those settings to read exactly like the settings of the 2 of us that are not having problems.  Nothing has worked.  It seems to be a Microsoft issue and I don't know what else to do. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I cannot add my outlook account to my MacBook. When I enter my password it says it is incorrect. I do not have a problem with my password when signing in directly to outlook?

11. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: com, macbook, mail, Office for Mac, oultlook, Outlook, Outlook account, Outlook Email, Outlook mail, problem
I am attempting to add my outlook email account to my MacBook Inbox Mailboxes.  The message I keep getting is that my password is incorrect.  I do not have a problem signing in with my password if I go directly to oultlook.com, so the password I am using is correct.

I just want to be able to access my outlook mail box, when using my Mac.

Thanks,
Donigan

Applescript issue with Outlook 2011 not seeing text in user name field if followed by the backslash

08. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: AppleScript, application, backslash, exchange account, microsoft, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook account, text
Using Applescript I can get the user name in Outlook 2011, but it will only display the text that comes after a backslash if present in the user name field.
With this Applescript I can get the user name from Outlook:

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    get the user name of exchange account 1
end tell

result--> username

But in the Outlook Account it reads:

ADDOMAIN\username

If I use Applescript to enter a user name it just appends the user name to the ADDOMAIN\ text

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    set the user name of exchange account 1 to "username2"
end tell

In Outlook account settings will result in:

ADDOMAIN\username2

Is there any way to clear this invisible text using Applescript?  I need to deploy this to 1000+ users so using Applescript is the preferred method vs. going to each user's computer individually.

I need help permanently deleting my previous employer’s Outlook account on my installed Microsoft Office for MAC.

18. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: control, employer, error, microsoft office, Microsoft office for mac, Outlook account, panel, work
I have Microsoft Office installed on my MAC. When I installed it I was using an employer's email account so it defaults to that when I try to open it from my desktop. I no longer work for that employer. When I try to open Outlook on my desktop I obviously get the error of email invalid but it shows some of my old work emails. I want to permanently delete this account and set it up with my Yahoo email address and be able to use the calendar. I have read other answers that say to go to the control panel but I can't even find that on my desktop. Help!!!!
