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 not Loading

04. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags:
I have a group of users that are running MAC's as well as PC's, the PC's have no problem viewing the public folders but i would say about half of the MAC users are unable to see the public folders, I myself have no issue but when other users choose public folders the subfolders and calendars do not appear.

Every user is running MAC OSX 10.8.4
and Outlook 2011 version:14.3.6

I have tried almost everything i can think of. 
-removing the account and adding it back in
-new identity in the database
-rebuild the identity that exists
-And even tried the account on another profile on the machine to make sure it wasn't profile driven. 

I also tried the steps in this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2405496/en-us


I'm out of idea's and I was hoping someone could shed some light on my situation.

Thanks,

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.

Public folders Outlook 2011 and Exchange 2013

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

We just install Exchange 2013 which now runs alongside with Exchange 2007 (mailboxes and public folders are still in Exchange 2007).

We have migrated some test mailboxes to the new infrastructure. 

If i access them with Outlook 2010 / 2013 (Windows), i can access public folders but if i access them with Outlook 2011, the public folders is not accessible at all, we do not see them.

2 possibilities :
1. Outlook 2011 can see Public folders which are on Exchange 2013 but can not see public folders which are still in Exchange 2007 from a mailbox on Exchange 2013. 
2. Outlook 2011 is still not fully compatible with Exchange 2013. Public folders would not work. 

My question are :
- Are you aware of this problem with public folders on Exchange 2007 when accessing from Outlook 2011 from a mailbox already migrated to Exchange 2013  ?
- Is there a patch or SP in preperation ?
- Someone knows a workaround to see those public folders ?

Thank you a lot for your answers.

Outlook 2011 Public Folder Calendar issue

04. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
We are using Outlook 2011 on Exchange 2010. Whenever a user checks the check box next to all of the available public folders (Calendars in this case) so that they show it is no longer possible to uncheck them. This happens whether the select all is specifically used or all are individually selected


When you leave the Calendar view and go back they automatically get rechecked - any ideas on how to fix this or is it just a bug.

Thanks

Error code -19741: Mailbox has exceeded maximum mailbox size

30. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
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!

Public Folders on Outlook 2011 hang

15. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,

Hello

I have some Mac clients connected to Exchange 2010 using office 2011. One of the public folders contains over 15,000 contacts. When the user clicks on that folder, Outlook hangs for at least 5-10 minutes.

The connection between the client and the Exchange server is over a VPN tunnel, and not a very fast one ( 600 Kbps ).  I am told that Outlook 2011 for Mac doesn't have cache mode like its Windows version.

Connecting to the PF via Safari is fine.

Any ideas anyone?

Many Thanks

Moshe
