Apple script to open Outlook 2011 issues

Hello,
I am trying to write a apple script to launch some applications in bulk, not necessarily always at startup. The application I am having trouble with is Microsoft Outlook because it brings a pop up window asking if I want to turn on office reminders. I of course want to turn them on, can I set the apple scrip to click the turn on button? And can I set the apple script to make sure on startup the reminders are turned on each time I start Outlook. Your help is much appreciated.

Updated to Mavericks, now having Outlook 2011 issues.

Okay this is probably a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I just updated to OS X Mavericks, now when my display on my MacBook Pro goes to sleep, and I have Outlook 2011 running (I have it set up on a schedule to send/receive emails) I get 2 different messages when the schedule runs and the display is asleep.
"Connection to the server failed or was dropped" and "Inactivity timeout".
If I hit the send/receive after the display wakes up.. no problem, it gets the mail. Display asleep and the schedule runs, I get the errors above.
I updated the Office 2011 service pack, and all updates to see if that helped, it didin't.
Everything was working fine with OS X Mountain Lion, as soon as I updated to Mavericks this all started. Anyone have a fix for this? Or is it something I have to live with. I tried an experiment and the native Mail program works fine when the display is asleep.

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail

Hi folks,
   I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
  I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
  View Mode : open theMsg 
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes 
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes 
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes   
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App. 
 Thanks in advance.  Regards
 Nisar

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes)

Export apple mail emails to outlook 2011

I installed Ms office 2011 in mac book pro a couple of days ago. I need to transfer emails from apple mail to outlook 2011. I see import option for apple mail in outlook import wizard. So hoe can I import apple mail emails in outlook without any data loss
as these emails are of great importance.

Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your
messages.
Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
One tool that I am familiar with is Apple
Mail Export
Or you can find more on google or yahoo for
more results
Hope this helps!

Server Data Deleted. Need to Import Apple Mail archive in Outlook 2011

I have accidently deleted all the emails on my Imap account while logging in through Outlook 2011 for mac. Luckily I have an email acrhive file of all the emails which I accessed earlier in Apple Mail. But these files cannot be imported in Outlook for mac for reasons I am not aware of.
Please suggest some alternative mehtods except importing the archive files via ImportExportTools in outlook for mac (as I have tried almost a million times).
Thank you

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Apple script to open an attachment

Hi all,
Can someone help me writing an appleScript to open an attachment of a mail.
I want to create a rule in Mail that when ever I get an email with a specific attachment it will be opened. I plan to run this script whenever mail is receiving an email with this attachment.
Thanks,
Ziv

I run this from the script menu, so you will need to tidy it up and modify it for your rule.

Outlook 2011 for Mac and SSLv3 on Exchange 2010

I have a few Apple MacBook users with Outlook 2011, and connecting back to my Exchange 2010 server (essentially via OWA). Currently it all works fine.
With the POODLE vulnerability, it is recommended that SSLv3 be disabled in Exchange (at Windows 2008 O/S server level), and instead fall back on TLS. Does
anybody have any experience with Mac users connecting to Exchange, disabling all SSL versions (SSLv3, v2, etc) on Exchange, and the Mac user still being able to connect?
I am not able to find much on the web, but I have seen a few people say that Outlook 2011 for Mac does not support TLS. IF you go in to the settings for
email, it does only have an option for "use SSL" and does not mention TLS.
Does anyone have any further insight? Thanks

Using c++ variable in apple script

Hi all,
I am just calling the apple script from my indesign plugin.
I need to pass the c++ variable to apple script for opening a file
This in my apple Script which i have embedded in c++ code
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open "Users:User1:Library:Preferences:Adobe Indesign:Version 5.0:MathEQ.txt"
end tell
The filepath "Users:User1:Library:Preferences:Adobe Indesign:Version 5.0:MathEQ.txt" is stored in the C++ variable char* textFileName.
I need to use the variable textFileName in apple script which has the path.
How to go about it?
Thanks
Sakthi

I have a similar problem trying to get data from any field into an AppleScript variable.
Something like *set phoneNumber to cell "Phone Number" of current record* works fine if you are using the script from a layout that has this field on it.
But I have a lot of fields on different layouts and I want to have access to all fields in the table, no matter what layout they are on, or what layout is currently active.
And I want to do this without having to specify on what layout each field is located.
In the past (FileMaker 6) I used something like *set phoneNumber to (cell "Phone Number" of current record of database 1)* but this is no longer working in FileMaker 9.
So I was thinking to use something like *set phoneNumber to cell "Phone Number" of current record of table "Table Name"* but that doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that seems to work is *set phoneNumber to cell "Phone Number" of current record of layout "Layout Name"* but as I said, I don't want to specify the layout for each field.
Any ideas anyone?

Can't open outlook

When I try to open outlook 2011 it shows me a window to select an identity but won't accept either.

Hi Dianne,
Corruption in
“profilename.xml” file can be a main cause if you are not able to open Outlook. This file stores all the settings of the navigation pane in Outlook and if it gets corrupted and the file size became 0KB.
To fix the corruption of this navigation pane’s file, type the “Outlook.exe /resetnavpane”
command in the Run box.
Optional methods to troubleshoot “Cannot start Microsoft office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.” error:
Scanpst.exe
Disable the Add-ins (using safe mode)

Is there a known issue with Mavericks and Outlook 2011 printing?

Title says it all. I was reading up on past forums both Apple/Microsoft when 10.6.8 messed up Outlook printing, was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. I am currently on 10.9.2. I began noticing the issues after updating to 10.9.2.
To clarify, as a user I can open attached documents from Outlook 2011 and print them that way. But if I use Command + P, or right click, or any other method I cannot print the actual message of the email. The icon will blink when proper keys are pressed but it will do nothing. Nothing is pending in print queue either.

Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:

and then the latest version obtained from here:

(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

Outlook 2011 for Mac / Synching issues

Hi there,
it seems that I'm not alone with 'issues' in synching Outlook for Mac 2011 with mobile devices..
The setup I am trying to arm wrestle into submission is
MacBook Air (brand new) Mavericks 10.9.3
iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1.
Outlook 2013 (brand new)
I've been able to succesfully import all of my email (from a previous version in windows) as well as get the contacts and the calendars imported onto Outlook for Mac, but am at my wits end to get them all talking to each other.
Outlook won't sync to the iPhone for mail, contacts and or calendar, nor visa versa.
I've read literally thousands of posts all suggesting this fix and that fix to no avail. I'm now reading that perhaps mavericks is not compatible with outlook synching services or outlook synching services isn't compatible with mavericks. I'm not trying to lay blame to either side as I'm simply looking for a solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
oh - Apple Migration Tool.... is appalling in my opinion, it did sweet bugger all.

Minor correction. It's Outlook 2011, Outlook 2013 is the Windows version.
Sync Basics
CalDAV & CardDAV are protocols used by Apple, Google, Yahoo and others to sync contacts and calendars. Neither Entourage 2008 nor Outlook 2011 support CalDAV or CardDAV.
You can no longer sync with any third-party apps running on your Mac that use Sync Services, like Entourage or Outlook.
If you want to stick with Outlook, I suggest you look at Office 365 Exchange. Otherwise, moving to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar with iCloud might be a better option for you.
Until Microsoft adds CalDAV and CardDAV support to Outlook, there is no way to sync other than get an Exchange account. It's $4/month Exchange Online.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK.
So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts. I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation. Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
I think "DFS" is a distributed file system. That's as much as I know about this.

Export Apple mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac

Hi everyone,
I don't like the serie Mail/iCal/Carnet d'adresses from Apple, reason why I bought Outlook 2011 for Mac.
I succeed transferring all my contacts to Outlook.
I try now to transfer all my mails with their categories to Outlook too but I don't succeed. I read some discussions on this forum but they are obsolete as they were with snowLeopard and Outlook 2011. Would someone have good news for me and find a way to transfer all the mails with their categories from Apple Mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac ?
It would be nice and to receive a positive answer.
Thank you for your help

INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
- click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
- click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
- click on “add file”
- select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
Now here comes the trick
- select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
- then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
Select “mbox”
- click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
- click on save
And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
Hope this helps.
