Problems saving New appointments to Outlook

06. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Just recently I have not been able to save new appointments to the Calendar in Outlook 2011 for Mac.
I am able to get items onto the calendar by entering them through either iCal or from my iPhone, but NOT by entering them through Outlook.
I am running the latest version of OSX 8.5 and the most recent updates of Office 2011.

Any Suggestions?

Outlook in Office 2011 for Mac: Keeps re-loading read emails

04. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Office 2011 for Mac 14.3.9.  POP server (Go Daddy hosts).  OSX 10.9

For some reason, in the past week, it keeps re-loading the thousands of emails that I have already read.  I checked with my email service and went through some tests; they said it was an Outlook issue.  I rebuilt the database to no avail.  In Prefs>Reading, I have always had checked "Mark Mail as Read"--Never and had not had a problem until now.  Otherwise, the accounts that I have set up seem to work just fine.

I searched here and could not find an answer.

Please help!

Thanks.

Office For Mac 2011 problems Outlook

03. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
Situation:
iMac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
MS Office + Outlook 365
To install this 365 you need to have Office for Mac 2011 in place.
When we download (from MS site) Office for Mac 2011, it installs 2011 except for Outlook. Here is 2008 installed...
Don't understand why.

We also need to sync calendar and contacts with iCloud. Can anyone advise me here...

Yahoo Email Keeps Downloading Old Emails to Outlook for Mac 2011

03. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I have owned a MacBook Pro loaded with MS Outlook 2011 for Mac for almost a year now.  I use Outlook for my personal Yahoo email but, leave the emails on the server since I also an iPhone and internet sometimes to manage my personal emails.  About three months ago, Outlook began downloading all of my old emails from the Yahoo server again.  I thought this might have been a one time deal due to daylight savings time change, etc. but, this has now occurred three times (seems to be at the beginning of a new month).  Any recommendations on how to resolve?  Thanks.

Is it possible to use Automator in Outlook 2011 to forward selected emails?

02. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I have tried the following:

  1. Open Automator
  2. Create a new Workflow or Application
  3. Added action: "Get Selected Outlook Items"
  4. Added action: "Forward Outlook Mail Messages"
When I run the Workflow inside Automator, I get the following error:
  • Forward Outlook Mail Messages failed - 1 error
  • Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can't make {type:to recipient type, email address: {name:"", address:"*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"}} into type text.
The error does not seem to make sense.

Is this a bug?

I don't know why name is empty, however there is no name field in the action. The email field is text already, so what is up?

During the install process of the update and automatic closing of Outlook, Excel, Safari, etc., Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close and I can't figure out how to.  They appear to be part of Outlook.  Any suggestions?  Thanks! 

How do I import gmail contacts to outlook?

25. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
I tried creating a csv from gmail. Imported it.  My desktop version of outlook says I have all contacts BUT half of them are blank - no name, no information... nothing.

My online version of outlook (which is the one I'm hoping to use) doesn't show any of these contacts.

Thoughts?

beware buying office for mac without outlook — you’ll be forced to buy office again if you want it

24. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
I recently purchased Office 2013 because I got a new iMac. I was using Thunderbird, so I didn't think I would need Outlook and bought Office without it, thinking I could always buy it separately later. When I did decide to buy it, I discovered that Microsoft won't allow you to purchase Outlook separately for Mac, or to upgrade your copy of Office to include it. If you have Office for Windows, you can buy Outlook separately. But if you are a Mac owner, Microsoft wants you to buy Office all over again, this time with Outlook. So that's $140 for Office to begin with, and then another $240 for a second copy of Office, this time with Outlook. They don't warn you about this anywhere on the Microsoft website. Kind of a ripoff.
