Outlook duplication of contacts problem

21. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Blackberry Desktop software, cannot, duplicates, duplication, everyone, microsoft, Outlook, problem

Dear Everyone.

I use only Mac software, apart from Blackberry Desktop software, which gave no problems. Recently I purchase Microsoft Office 2011, only Excel, Word and Powerpoint, however Outlook was installed but not activated. Very soon I noticed duplicates in my Address book and subsequently on my Iphone. This also appeared on my Blackberry when I next synced it. I want to follow your procedure to clear all duplicates, however since I never activated Outlook (One has to pay extra to Microsoft), I cannot turn off SyncServicesAgent. (I cannot stop it in the Activity Monitor, it simply starts up again after a few seconds). I do not ever plan to use Outlook, it caused same problems before and I was forever deleting duplicates, hence me using Mac programmes such as Mail only, with no problems any more. How do I get rid of Outlook? I also noticed my Microsoft User Data, especiall 2011 Identities, is over 50gig large!! Why is it so and can you tell me if I can delete this? Please help!! What is wrong with all the Microsoft Engineers out there????

I have important work related emails since 2003 which needs to be kept and transfered to my successor.

connectivity problem between outlook for mac and my server

20. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: connectivity, everything, mail, menu, Outlook

My emails are taking taking hours at times to transmit from bt server to outlook for mac - until recently when I opened mac outlook I would get a message saying something like "getting list of messages from bt" and the emails would appear, but this message has now disappeared - have checked the "in" and out "accounts". on the Tools menu but everything seems OK - am a complete IT amateur and in lay terms the mac outlook doesn't seem to be fetching the emails from the server when I open up. However, I've noticed that if I have mac outlook open and a new email comes in, this will arrive Ok with the outstanding back mail, but if no new mail comes in while I have outlook open, I'm not getting my outstanding messages from the server. Can anyone explain in lay terms what might be wrong and advise what I might do?

many thanks

Why does Outlook underline (in red) words with apostrophes?

19. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: anything, assistance, lion, macbook, Outlook

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to stop Outlook from underlining words that are spelled correctly. Some examples are as follows:

-Don't

-Didn't

-Shouldn't

-Hadn't

I've gone into "Preferences" and then clicked on "AutoCorrect", but I can not find anything that addresses this.

Here is my info:

MacBook Pro

OS Lion 10.7.4

Outlook 13.2.3

Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks much!

MASSIVE Deleted Items folder causing rebuild message

18. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: database, Deleted, Deleted items folder, folder, Outlook, problem, way

Hello all,

One of our employees here has been getting the message telling her she needs to rebuild her database. The database was rebuilt, but after Outlook failed to open. I switched her back to the old identity (pre rebuild) and Outlook opens again.

The problem only appears after she opens her deleted items folder to find an email. Apparently her deleted items folder has over 30,000 emails.... She says whenever she tries to empty it it takes too long so she cancels it.

I want to start a brand new Identity for her but she doesn't want to lose all her other emails that have been organized into other folders. I thought about exporting the messages into a .olm but in my testing i found that when import it back into a new identity it brings the deleted items folder with it.

Is there an easy way for me to get rid of her deleted items folder from her current identity? I dont want to do it from within Outlook because it would take too long, and its possible it could crash in the middle of it.

If the above is not possible, then I will have to create her a new Identity. Is there a way for me to export her other messages and reimport without bringing deleted items with it?

This is for my boss who is extremely busy so I have very little time to troubleshoot on her machine. Any help would anyone could give would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
