Outlook Setup on New Mac

19. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I have purchased Office 365 and installed it on my mac, in the initial setup process it brought across my existing emails address along with the emails to date, at the completion of the installation the product did and update check which it identified that there was a later version which I would have thought the install I did would have been the latest, anyway in went with it and after it did the so called up date I was left with a standard outlook setup with no email addresses or email history, it appears to have taken back to a new starter clean sheet state. how do I get back to where I was which I thought should be a duplicate of the other outlook setups with all email accounts in place and email history logs. will it do this again on the next mac I also have to install it on. I have one original PC outlook set up which was my main initial platform I was using and decided to change out my offices to all macs which I needed a better email system than mac has which is why I need to get this outlook loading on right otherwise I have to set all up manually on all 5 machines which is a pain.

Outlook setup

I cleaned up my computer and accidentally moved my "Outlook Files" folder.  My email stopped working and I received the message:  Task '*** Email address is removed for privacy *** – Sending' reported error (0x8004010F): 'Outlook data file cannot be accessed' (and a similar one for receiving).

 

After a great deal of fussing with the program I finally realized what had happened and moved the folder back where it belongs.  Meanwhile I had created a new profile, but have now set it back to the original profile.  It still doesn't work (ie, won't send or receive emails; I still get the same error message). 

 

I have another data file directly in my Documents folder which the program also accesses.  That stuff is showing up okay.  I would really like the program to just work off that one data file, but haven't been able to figure out how to make it do that.

 

If I go into my "Outlook" profile (the original one), it lists three data files:  two of them are identical, the one in my Documents folder.  The other one is My Outlook Data File(1).pst in the Outlook Files folder.   I set one of the ones in the Documents folder to the default (the other one won't allow me to do so) and it still acts the same.

 

The problem is that I really don't have a clue what I am doing.  We have profiles, data files, defaults, accounts and all this stuff that I don’t know how it all fits together.  Does it all have to be so confusing?  Can someone explain in simple terms how this works so that it can make sense to my simple mind? 

Outlook 2011 with Hosted Exchange server

I have had MS Office 2011 outlook setup on a MacBook Pro for over a year, connected to a Hosted exchange server.  I have 95 users connected to this hosted exchange server and all are windows, except for this one.  The connection to the server is solid, but when the MAC User sends an email it will sit in the outbox for 5-10 minutes.  This does not happen with any windows or Ipad/Iphone/Smart phone users.  This also happens at the office and home site as well.

Mac Mail Setup IMAP – issues with inbox dissapearing

I have tried doing this with MAC Mail per the setup, but I get a unique errors. Twitter asked me to post here and see if I can get help. After setting up MAC MAIL with Outlook setup, my Inbox populates and I hit synchronize and it starts getting all my folders. Once that is done, if I click on any of my folders to view messages, then go back to my Inbox, my entire Inbox is gone. I have tried multiple times and cant figure out why its doing this (see screenshots below).

I then used Microsoft Outlook for MAC 2011, and it works fine.
