Categories in shared calenders not working in Outlook 2011. Is there a fix / work around / 3rd party plugin for this issue.

Have several macs with Outlook 2011 on exchange 2010.

Everything else is working fine, but am unable to get categories to work in shared calenders.

In outlook for my PC i can open and view a (.pst) file but on Outlook for Mac 2011, I cannot just open a .pst file without actually importing it?
I'm looking for a solution to keep my outlook files normally found in /Users/eikkaj/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity...etc
in a network drive. I've tried moving the entire directory starting at MS User Data or just particular files onto the network drive and then creating an alias in its place but Outlook complains and tries to rebuild the database = doesn't work. It seems that with Thunderbird or Outlook on Windows, you can create profiles elsewhere but I don't think that's an option here? Any suggestions?
Have just upgraded from Home and student to home and business to get outlook. When I try and use contact groups the contact group button is faded out... Any thoughts how to fix...
Hi, what is the location of outlook signature files in mac ?
I currently have Windows7/Outlook 2011 in with multiple PST files (2-3 GB each, 5-6 files) and plan to import them on Outlook:Mac
Questions: 
(a) For Outlook:Mac, would all these PSTs  need to be imported into a single import DB ?
(b) If yes, how do I avoid mailbox size limitations on Outlook:Mac (given that Outlook:Mac does not store mails in PSTs?)

Best, 
I did not use time machine and therefore have no possible rebuild possible, but every time I try to delete email messages my outlook demands a rebuild and shuts off, lately other problems have been occuring. I want to uninstall Outlook and reinstall it but I'm afraid that my data will be destroyed (of which I have no copy and need badly).

Will uninstalling outlook and reinstalling it destroy my data or leave it alone?

and if so, how can I uninstall outlook
I cannot remove 20 messages from my inbox. Outlook refuses to delete all of them. can somebody help me?
They all are a CC sentmail from me
I know i can manually insert email signatures or have them set for all emails, is there a way to have a signature automatically added to NEW emails only ??

I've transferred from a windows outlook environment and this is rather annoying not being able to do this.


I am upgrading a computer from Office for MAC 204 to Office 2011.  I currently use Entourage for my email .  Will the installer transfer all my saved mail from Entourage to the new version of Outlook?
