How to sync Gmail to Outlook for Mac

27. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I have just bought Microsoft Office with Outlook for Mac as I didn't like Entourage and its inability to link with hotmail like Outlook does on a PC. However I have now found that Outlook on a Mac doesn't link with Hotmail either!

I have tried to use a Gmail account, to transfer my hotmail account to then use Outlook to sync to, as Gmail is IMAP and Hotmail is only POP. As I understand it this is the issue?

What I am now having problems with is:

- Under On My Computer / Inbox / Gmail it has downloaded all of my emails, through all of my folders. 900 and counting! Then lower down where it says Gmail and then has all of my folders, there is nothing in this Inbox. How can I get it to just show the emails in my inbox and not the ones I have already filed?

- On hotmail I have got my folders organised with subfolders also, this has not carried through to Gmail nor subsequently Outlook. Is there a solution to this? I.E I have a main folder for 'Personal' then under that there would be one for 'Finance', 'Sport' etc.

Really disappointed with Outlook for Mac as it just doesn't do as it does on a PC and everything else on Apple products seem to work so seamlessly, but email doesn't seem to be.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Paul.

Forward date dissapears in the message outlook 2011

27. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
I'm using outlook 2011 for 1,5 year now. Since a motnh I've a problem with the forward date in the messages that i'm forwarding. Normally outlook puts the forward date in the original message. Any mail which has a sent date after 1 may 2012 and is forwarded in my (and 2 other collegues) outlook 2011 will not show the forward date in the message anymore. (so normally you see:  From: ... To:.... Forward date:  .... Subject:). Mails that are sent before 1 may 2012 don't have this problem.
In any other mail program outlook 2010, entourage, apple mail there is no problem with the forward date. Even with the same messages.

Can anybody tell me what happens and how to solve this? 

space in a filepath in Outlook

How do you make a clickable link to a filepath that has a space in it? 

I need to send a link to staff in an office that allows them to open an smb filepath in a directory with a space.

In the following example the directory is /sharename/this directory.

 I have tried:

smb://sharename/this\ directory

and

file:///Volumes/sharename/this\ directory

and

smb://Voumes/sharename/"this\ directory"

I'm stumped. has anyone been able to do this successfully in outlook?

Link message in Outlook to a contact?

26. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
Is it possible to link a message to a contact, or group of contacts in Outlook 2011. I know it was possible in previous versions, or in Entourage. But I can't seem to figure it out in this version...

Thanks,

I have a similar problem - I can't get Outlook on my MAC to default to my work address even though it is listed as the default. Urghhhh!

Is it possible Outlook rules it somehow processing old emails to give me alerts on emails already moved/alerted?

I asked this in similar post but thought what was happening was the incoming messages were alerting me and then moving to ether-ville.  But now I am thinking after trying a bunch of things to view/find them that maybe somehow the rules are somehow looking at existing messages and reprocessing?

the 'help' instructions don't appear to match the navigation.  It tells me to select 'import and export' under 'file.  however, on my version 'import' and 'export' are separate choices.

I am still waiting for shared calendars in Outlook 2011 to be a different colour to my own, will this be feature be implemented?

My personal calendar is the same colour as my shared calendars making it very frustrating to identify my own events from those I've subscribed to, will this be changed?
