How do I recover my Outlook contents from Time Machine?

23. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
A routine update has cleared the entire contents of my Outlook, including my identity, folders of emails going back five years, contacts and signatures.
I've found what looks like backed-up files in Time Machine called Microsoft User Data but I can't open any of the folders and there doesn't seem to be an application with which to do so.
This is a potential disaster as all my work stuff is stored in Outlook. Can anyone suggest anything please?

Unable to search on Contacts for known name + unable to construct Contact Group lists

21. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Have MacBook Pro and work off an exchange server (Rackspace). 

Just recently I can no longer search Contacts for known contacts; nor can I build Contact Group lists.  I was able to do both until last week.  And of course this makes it very difficult to construct a mass email for an announcement (eg 750 names)--essentially I have to write in each name vs simply pointing and clicking.

Note Rackspace confirms that problem is local--eg they could search my contact list from their end.

I should also point out that I've Microsoft Office folks have 2x know over the past month worked on my Outlook manually for problems with stalled Outlook.  The problems I outline above resulted only following working with Microsoft last week to correct frozen Outlook.  I called today and they now refer me to this portal, because I "work off an exchange server".  All rather frustrating.

Pls advise . . .

Thanks.

Outlook aborts after Microsoft Update, Rebuilding Identity

Outlook (Office Mac 2011/v14.2.3) worked fine, until updated Office [on a MBPro/OS X.7.5] -- now Outlook either immediately aborts, or hangs/fails to connect to server ["Not responding"]; Word and Excel both work fine.  Rebuilt Microsoft Database (twice!), rebooted MBPro several times, but no improvement -- Any brilliant suggestions?

I know with my Windows Mail (and we used to do it at work...) you can set things up so that you know when the email you sent is Read/Deleted etc.  Is it possible to prevent this notification being sent to the sender? 
 Thanks.

It did work by clicking in the box or type the first letter and it would pop up. I don't wish to check the box so I stay signed in all the time. Running Windows 7 with IE10. Anyone know how to get it back?

day order in calendar

By default, the firts column in calendar pane in WLM starts with Monday, which is obviously the way to go for all Christian countries.

In Israel the work week starts on Sunday. Is there a way to shift the columns, so that Sunday is first column?

 

thanks,

I keep getting this message when I open Oulook. I am running OS10.7.5 and MS Office 2011. I have done all updates to MS Office.This is a pretty useless error message and does not tell me anything about what brought it on or what I should do about it. Why we still have these arcane messages is a mystery to me.

Does anyone have any ideas what it means?

How do I remove Outlook from my MacBook Pro Retina dock (OSX 10.8.1)?

18. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I use iCal exclusively and do not wish to switch to Outlook, having just downloaded Office 2011 for Mac. I can't find a way of removing Outlook from the dock and I would like advice on how to do so.  I would like to keep Work, Powerpoint and Excel in the dock as I use them.
Thank you,
JPS
