No email in Outlook 2011 for mac since yosemite upgrade

I installed yosemite 10.10.2 two days ago and cant get my gmail anymore. Using Outlook for mac 2011, ver 14.2.7 and gmail.
Called microsoft, they created new identity but now I can only see what has come in the last 2 days, All other history, drafts, sent , inboxes no longer appear. Went back to the old identity but now will not be able to get gmail from now on. I dont have original disks or key (ex has them). Microsoft wants me to buy new office for mac. This is crazy. I have had nothing but probs with Yosemite and now I have to pay microsoft to even get my old emails imported to my new outlook identity. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this mac-loving grandmother on social security? And...why wouldnt level 2 tech support know anything about this incompatibility issue after all this time? It's not like i haven't asked at least 20  times what changes/problems/issues/incompatibilities would occur if I upgraded. (I lost past 8 years of all imovie projects during the upgrade! had to reinstall Iphoto, etc etc
If I have posted this in the wrong place, I couldnt find any imac, yosemite, outlook boards., so I do apologize. Any help out there?

Few days back I was facing the same issue. I looked online and found support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509. Tried the steps provided without ay positive outcomes. I also found http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-your-data-when-rebuilding -restoring-and-upgrading-fails/ and tried the steps again but wasn't able to gain much. I looked further into this and found http://www.officeformachelp.com/outlook/database/. I came to know that outlook stores messages in olk14 message files. I searched online for olk14 message recovery and voila the solution was right there. Now all my data is there recovered in one place and I also have transferred it into Apple Mail.

  • Transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to Outlook 2010 for windows

    Hi,
    I want to transfer emails from outlook 2011 for mac to outlook 2010 for windows. 
    Outlook 2011 exports mails only in olm format and there is no option to import olm files in outlook 2010.
     I can drag and drop emails from outlook 2011 to a finder folder which saves emails as eml files. How can import eml files into outlook 2010. 
    Please help

    Hi, 
    Thank you for using
    Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
    Base on the research ,
    We can try the steps below to add the registry sub key. This will open all .eml files that are in the file system using Outlook, including *.eml attachments on messages in OE/WLM. Any replies will be sent
    using Outlook.
    ===========
    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the
    registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem
    occurs.
    1.Type
    regedit in the Search field on the Start menu or press
    Windows Key+ R and enter it in the Run command.
    2.Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message WLMail\shell\open\command
    Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command
    3. Change the command line (here its "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe" /eml:%1)
    to the following line, exactly as shown below but correcting the path to Outlook.exe to match the path on your computer.
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\OUTLOOK.EXE" /eml "%1"
    Thanks for your understanding.
    Sincerely

  • I cannot send email from Outlook 2011 (for Mac). But can send from other applications

    I have Outlook 2011 for Mac - I have validated the settings and up until yesterday could send and receive emails using my .mac account.
    I can send using icloud and mail (I use Outlook for work purposes) and can send in outlook using my work accounts.
    My settings
    Incoming server - imap.mail.me.com
    Use SSL to connect checked.
    Outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com
    override default port checked (port 587)
    use SSL to connect checked
    authentication - Username and password.
    I have rebuilt the database - no effect.
    I continue to get the error
    "Mail could not be sent
    The server for account "mac" returned the error. 5.7.8. Bad Username or password (Authentication failed..)" Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try rentering your password"
    I have validated my username and password and rentered them both.
    I have emptied the outbox and retried but nothing works.
    Thanks for the help.

    Update - I now have it working.
    am not really sure what exactly fixed it.
    I changed a lot of things but my setup now has the following which I think fixed.
    outgoing server  - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    override default port checked - port now 587
    on more options button changed it to "use incoming server info".

  • Configure Email on Outlook 2011 for Mac - Go Daddy - POP

    Hi All
    I am having a nightmare configuring my email.
    I have a website bought through godaddy and an email address through them. It works fine on the godaddy email login (https://login.secureserver.net/) and it works fine on Mac Mail - all I need to do with both is simply put in my username (email) and password and they're good to go.
    It also works find on my iPhone 6. The settings on my iPhone are as follows:
    Name: [email protected]
    Email: [email protected]
    Description: [email protected]
    Incoming Mail Server
    Host name: pop.europe.secureserver.net
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: ...
    Use SSL: Yes
    Authentication: Password
    Server Port: 995
    Outgoing Mail Server:
    Host name: smtpout.europe.secureserver.net
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: ...
    Use SSL: Yes
    Authentication: Password
    Server Port: 465
    So... I have tried every combination of using SSL/not using SSL, using each combination of different ports etc on Outlook 2011 but it just refuses to work!
    Any ideas??
    Thanks all

  • MS Outlook 2011 for Mac will no longer automatically send and receive email since upgrade to OS 10.9 Mavericks.  Does anyone know of a solution?

    I have been having trouble with Outlook 2011 for Mac since updating to OS 10.9 Marvericks.  I have tried updating the database and identity.  I can get email if a go to each account and try to download it.  But email will not come automatically and can I send and receive all accounts.  Does anyone have a solution?  I do not want to lose my email, contacts and information.

    I am also finding that searching in Mail for emails in this account is leading to false negative results. It's astonishing that I can search for an email I know is in the Inbox list yet not find it unless I scroll down to it manually and clicking it. Then it will show up in the results if I search again. I just did "rebuild" a day ago (have to do that every few days or so to get Outlook Exchange emails restored again anyway), so I doubt that this would fix the issue, but even if it did it's ridiculous... do I really have to abandon Mail and move to Microsoft Outlook on my mac to read my emails? Mail is currently FAILING to work for those of us who have to deal with Microsoft servers... which must be a huge # of customers, Apple.

  • I have an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac.  For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there.  How can I move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices?

    I have an iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB memory and 1.12 TB storage running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac.  For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there.  I have attempted to move those sent emails from the iMac to my email server (IMAP), but without success.  Is there a way to move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices?  Many thanks for any help you can provide.

    Alternatly, try holding the  ⌃⌥⌘ (control command alt) keys and then pressing the , (comma) key a few times.

    Hi, 
    Thanks for all of the responses - I have now done these suggested settings which has downloaded all of the separate inbox folders but I am still having a couple of errors: 
    1: If I delete an email on outlook 2011 it doesn't actually delete it from my email account
    Are you 100% sure the account is now IMAP?
    2: I am unable to send any emails I get an SMTP error? 
    Have you ticked the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' box in the outgoing server section.
    3: I still have to click send/receive to receive any emails 
    This is for Outlook 2010 on Windows, but there will be something similar on your version. Go to File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive where you should be able to set the parameters required.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

    OK I just transitioned to MacMail, iCal, and Mac address book.  Goodbye Outlook, It was great for 18 years and painful for the last year.  Microsoft is losing share with subpar software development.

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac keeps asking me for password

    I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail.
    I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
    The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. with my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts)....it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server. 
    Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:  
    Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
    Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
    The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing)  and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.........(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as.
    I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said "if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465...just leave them. And I *am* able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message "server not recognised" or whatever it says....I can't recall the exact words.
    I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way).
    Apple did ask, however if my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained  that it really isn'y *my* choice; it's the server people's choice. 
    My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? Is it BT? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office.
    I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? with Outlook? or with my Server? or possibly all of the above? and how does one identify the real issue?
    Many thanks! 

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.
