Outlook for Mac 2011 Public Folder – Issues with Syncing Dates on individual emails

16. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
When we move and/or individual emails from the general inbox over to subscribed public folders, the move creates a new date and time stamp on the physical email. This time and date change isn't reflected on the Mac, but only on Windows PC's subscribing to the same public folders. 

For instance, the email was sent and received on Jan 1, 2014 at 1pm. When we move the email over to subscribed public folder on a Mac, it changes the date and time sent and/or received to the current time, ie, Jan 16th at 12PM, but this is only visible on a PC. 

This issue wouldn't be a major problem, if it wasn't related to our internal purchasing department and the time stamping with signing off on PO's and invoices. 

Additionally all of our server settings are correct, including port numbers. 

Thanks, any help would be appreciated. 

Public folders

27. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

Hello

 

I want to create a public folder with link that will allow an excel.xlsm doc to be opened in native excel (not web excel) without requiring a login.

 

Background- I have two .xlsm workbooks, workbook one is on my customer’s computer, and workbook two is in my skydrive public folder.

In workbook one, the customer runs a macro that open and interacts with workbook two and then closes workbook two in skydrive without my customer ever seeing it. This scenario works flawlessly on my computer but when I run it on another computer it requires a login.

 

Is there a solution for this? I don’t want my customers to have to login to MS.  

 

Thanks for your support

Paul

How to access someone’s public folder on Skydrive?

12. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
Hi,

I realize that when I sign in my Skydrive and click on the Shared category on the left, I can see files that I shared with specific people as well as files which are in the Public folder. I would like to ask that if I share a file to only one person, can he follow the link to access my Public folder? Or can someone access my Public folder without having a link or anything? Or is it possible for me to access someone's public folder? If so, how can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Public Folder Orphaned

26. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
I created an account on 4/30 and shared a bunch of files in the public folder which took up x amount of space out of the 7GB allocated

I recently logged in to upload a 35mb file for sharing since it was too large for emails and noticed I once again have 7GB of allocated space.

There are 3 default folders: Document, Pictures, and Public
I looked in each one of the folders and completely empty with a date modified of 7/15/2013

At first I panicked because it seems that all my files are gone!  And technically....they are!
I shared the public folder and my current public folder doesn't have a single file.

I went back to my email of when I first shared my Public folder on 4/30 and there they are!  All my files are there under Public Folder

The problem is that it's no longer part of my normal folder/menu sets when I login.
The only way to access it is with the previous linked I once created.

There's no way for me to delete it.
It just sit by itself with the only option of : open, download, sharing, properties, and clear selection.
It says I'm the owner, but I can't delete of modify it.
It remains as a public folder.

Please help.

Outlook 2011 allow scripts in public folder

24. June 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

How do I enable scripts to run in public folders?    In office 2010 pro, I enabled by checking "allow scripts in public folders" but in office 2011 I can't find anything thing that would allow enable this feature. 

 

We use Public folders Home pages and require authentication for access. I want to be able to do the same in outlook 2011, so when someone accesses a public folder they'll be prompted for creditials.

when attempting to create a meeting or appointment in the public calendar, it won't allow me to add a recipient (TO:). I get the error message:

"this meeting invitation cannot be sent because it is in a public folder" in Outlook 2011"

Error code -19741: Mailbox has exceeded maximum mailbox size

Hi all -

I am in the process of moving from an in-house IMAP server to a hosted Exchange server for my small business e-mail.

We have a lot of email messages, especially in shared folders that are shared among our five users.

Previously I was using Apple Mail, so in order to transfer the mail to the Exchange server, I added the exchange account and manually transferred mail to my Exchange inbox.

As Apple Mail doesn't support Public Folders in exchange, I then set up my new Exchange account in Mac Outlook and moved the emails from my inbox to my Public Folder (that all 5 of us will be sharing).

The problem is, the Public Folder is giving me the above error code and has only synchronized a portion of the emails in that folder.  So when I go to Outlook Web Mail, it is only showing maybe 50% of the emails even though my Outlook client has them all.

My hosting provider is unable to advise why and they said there is no limitation on mailbox size on their end.  

They have suggested that I try to migrate my emails using an IBM but I don't have any IBMs, and I"m afraid this issue may come again when I try to move emails to the Public Folder in the future.

It's about 4 GB of mail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
