outlook 2011 add email account hang

07. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: email accounts, exchange account, Outlook, problem, Quit, The Exchange account, way, yesterday

Haven't seen this problem identified anywhere else.

Am trying to add an email account to a new Outlook install but every time it causes a hang on the Accounts page. Force Quit is the only way out.

Have retina MacBook Pro running Mac OSX 10.7.4. Installed Office 2011 yesterday and successfully added an Exchange account which sync'd correctly.

When I go into Tools/Accounts and click the Email Accounts button (or the + bottom left) nothing happens ... but this window stops accepting input - no clicks work, it can only be minimised, and Outlook won't allow a regular Quit. You can only Force Quit.

I tried deleting the Exchange account but it doesn't make any difference.

So, I can't add any email accounts to Outlook.

P.S. I don't believe I have Service Pack 2. About Word says I have version 14.1.0

Thanks in advance, Rob

Outlook 2011 with office 365 shared calendars extremely slow + crashes

05. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: date, office, office 365 shared calendars, problem, RAM, real nightmare, way

We have the same problem with multiple of our customers.

Problem:

Each user needs to see multiple shared calenders.

We can add them without a problem, but it turns outlook 2011 in a real nightmare, slow responds and crashes.

If we remove the shared calenders, the problem is fixed and outlook works fast again.

We have this problem since we migrated from an onsite exchange 2003 to Office365 and Outlook2011, with the onsite exchange there was no problem.

It works perfectly on windows7 with office 2010 but all the Mac computers with outlook2011 are working so slow they constantly crash.

Is there some way to solve this, seems to me that calendar sharing is a basic function.

The Mac machines all have 8 GB of RAM and an up to date office2011.

I hope anyone can help.

Thx

Help with Live Essentials Mandatory Update

03. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: dll, essentials, microsoft, problem, Shared, update

I've been having the same problem as many others with the mandatory update. I cannot send or reply to emails. I get the Failed to Initiate Shared Canvas message. I tried the steps to delete Live Essentials files, and I also Uninstalled Windows Live Essentialsm.. But four files wouldn't delete out of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live Essentials: SQMAPI.DLL, WLIDNSP.DLL, WLID.SVC and WLIDSVCM. All said they were open in either Live ID Sign-In Assistant or Audio Sign-in. Nevertheless, I reinstalled Live Essentials and am still getting the same message.

Come on Microsoft. How do we fix this mess. I would like to be able to send emails.

Windows Live Mail has gone Nuts after AT&T server “upgrade”!

03. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: att, BellSouth, computer, error, microsoft, problem, server problems, Windows Live Mail

I'm using Windows live Mail on an eight-month-old computer running Windows 7 64-bit. It seemed to be doing just fine until my dial-up BellSouth/AT&T Internet account instructed me to change my inbound and outbound mail settings from the old BellSouth servers to new AT&T servers. After struggling for weeks to get the new settings to work, I still have one set of problems which is making my mail a nightmare to use. I'm constantly getting the error message:

"Unable to send or receive messages for the Bellsouth account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Server: 'inbound.att.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes"

I think because my e-mail can never finish downloading, I'm getting a second problem: I'm constantly getting the same messages flooding my inbox over and over until there are hundreds of each one. I've had this problem at times in the past with other computers using mail programs I'm more familiar with like Microsoft outlook. I I have gone directly into my AT&T account many times now deleting messages hoping that there's one that's screwing up Microsoft live, but it never fixes the problem. Going into my e-mail account with my browser is also a problem, because for some reason about half the time whenever I try to login, the browser window (Internet Explorer 9) simply closes! The AT&T website where I check my mail is the only one that does this. It's maddening!

I'm spending 90% of my computer time now desperately deleting messages out of both Microsoft live and directly from AT&T. The only thing I know to do in the Microsoft Live settings is under the advanced tab where I've increased my server timeouts to first 3 min. and then 4 min. Under delivery "leave a copy of messages on server" is currently unchecked, but I've tried it both ways and neither seems to make any difference.

If someone out there can help me I would be so grateful. I feel like I'm on the edge of losing my sanity over this. I'm losing many hours that I can't afford to lose, and I'm almost ready to throw this computer that I desperately need out the window! Thank you.
