Constant message in Outlook - IMAP wants to alert you...

I keep getting a message in my Outlook which says, "your IMAP wants to alert you to the following. Email is too large, limit size to less than 20 MB". I have taken my Surface in to the Microsoft Store and have contacted GoDaddy, my email provider.
I cannot find the answer to this. These messages continually come up as I am typing emails. The boxes layer upon each other. Sometimes giving me 20 boxes with the same message. I am looking for an answer.

Hi Gina,
Might be this is occurring due to the large file size of attachments in Microsoft Outlook. This kind of thread has been discussed earlier. I think the given link can be more helpful for you.

I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

I get nothing but error messages, -
"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or the same with: 364?
Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to give answers to how to fix these errors because when I "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING! Yet you give us these stupid error codes
then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft. How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
to do or how to fix it. You need to add each error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it. I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:

Outlook Error message on every replication: IMAP Server wants to alert you to the following: email is too large, please limit to less than 20MB

I cannot find any emails in my sent file exceeding the 20MB maximum and this message pops up every time the system replicates. Need to close it to continue working but it does not show me where the error is. I am using Windows 8

Everytime I send an email in Outlook 2010, I get a message asking if I want to open Firefox Document E9B557DD-DAE3-4088-988A-9123DAC2AAC7.html. There are brackets around the number. It's extremely annoying.

It's extremely annoying. I had an issue with the latest version of WinZip, which I mistakenly downloaded and installed--it automatically zipped my files, which is not what I want it to do. I removed WinZip and reinstalled the older version, and then I started getting these messages. It also seems to be interfering with Outlook 2010 help--I get another message about downloading a Firefox document and it won't load.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

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.

Sync gmail messages between outlook 2003 on my hom...

Hi everyone,
I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum and other pages on the net, but I couldn't find anything similar to my problem.
I have a E51 with the latest version of PC suite; and I am using Outlook 2003 on a WinXP SP2 machine.
PC suite does not give me the possibility to sync messages with Outlook (if it does, then it doesn't work for me). It only syncs calendar items, notes and contacts, which are all of secondary importance for me.
Of course, this is an enterprise phone, but I am not using it with my work computer. I use it with my gmail personal address. I got the phone set up to get my emails through IMAP and my computer through POP3.
What I would like is to be able to receive and send messages from my phone while on the go and still have the possibility to retrieve all email conversations when I download my messages with Outlook.
Unfortunately, although this works fine for received emails (downloading them with my phone will not erase them from my inbox and I will still be able to download them onto my computer), it is not the case with sent emails. These are stored in my phone memory as well as on gmail webmail under sent items, but they won't be set as part of the conversation in the inbox and will therefore not download onto my PC. And even if I move them manually to the inbox, they will be moved there in the webmail interface but Outlook will still not download them.
I would like to be able to save the history of some email exchanges from that particular gmail mailbox onto the computer (of course I don't need the whole history on my phone), and I find it a pain to have to go through the phone web browser to read and write my mail, so I would be really greatful if someone could tell me how to do it.
I could also change my email client to be something else than outlook if it makes it possible, but I don't think this issue is down to Outlook.
Thanks in advance for your help, I'll take any lead on how to do it or what to install...
Cheers

Hi e61drc,
Thank you for your answer! I'll try that as soon as I get home and post to let you know how happy I am!

Using PowerShell to Copy the content of a Word Document and Paste that content into a New Message in Outlook

So, I'm a little new to PowerShell and I came across a PowerShell which allow me to copy the content od a spreadsheet, into the new message in Outlook 2007. I have search and search on a way to do the same with a Word Document. I would like to
create a PowerShell Script that copies the content of a Word Document and paste that content in an email message.
I am basing my script on this
#Create and get my Word Obj
$w1 = New-Object -comobject Word.Application
$w1.Visible = $True
$UserWord = $w1.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\hhhh\Documents\Powershell\test.docx")
#create outlook Object
$Outlook = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0)
$Mail.SentOnBehalfOfName = "[email protected]"
$Mail.Recipients.Add("[email protected]")
#Add the text part I want to display first
$Mail.Subject = "Test email"
$Mail.Body = "My Comment on the Excel Spreadsheet"
#Then Copy the Word using parameters to format it
$Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor.Range().PasteExcelTable($true,$false,$false)
#Then it becomes possible to insert text before
$wdDoc = $Mail.Getinspector.WordEditor
$wdRange = $wdDoc.Range()
$Mail.Display()
Any Help would be great!

My requirements are the Word documents are a template of sorts. The document will be changes prior to its email with some changes. The other twist is that the customer might more that one recipients, and each recipient will have to have a separate
email, with the same content of the word document.
For example: Say I'm doing maintenance. The Word doc might descript that maintenance, in a set format. Once save the script is run to generate 3 to 10 email with separate recipients with the body of the email containing what was in the Word document.

Cannot receive message in Outlook Express

I recently (for the first time) accessed my ISP's e-mail service. Since then I have been unable to receive messages in Outlook Express although I can send them. When I check for new messages I do get a connection but no new messages. Some of my messages are diverting to my ISP provider's e.mail service. I have checked all my account settings etc for OE and they look fine. It was all working perfectly before. Any ideas, help would be appreciated.

Hi to all
Well, the Outlook express is a part of the Windows OS and if you want to reinstall it you need an original Microsoft Windows CD. The delivered Toshiba recovery CD proffers only the whole OS image. In this case its not possible to install only the Outlook Express. You have to recover the whole OS.
I know its not the optimal solution. You can try to use the system restore tool. Then you can roll back the OS to the early point.
But if it doesnt help, the recovery procedure is the last chance.

HT4191 Notes are being stored as messages in Outlook. Can this be fixed?

Notes are being stored as messages in Outlook -- can this be fixed so they stay as notes rather than being converted to HTML message items stored in the Outlook Notes folder?
I've got an iPad that syncs its notes up to the IMAP Notes folder on Exchange server (Outlook) as HTML messages and an Android "phablet" that syncs Notes between the device and Exchange server as true Exchange/Outlook Notes items. Due to the conversion of these iPad notes to Exchange/Outlook formatted-as-HTML-messages-notes they are not detected as real Outlook Notes and don't get synched to my Android. So the Android synchs notes fine back and forth to Exchange/Outlook and they resulting Notes are Note-type items in Exchange.
The problem is that the iPad is converting these notes to message-type items and thus making notes unsynchable between the Android and the iPad.
Any ideas how to make the IMAP-based synching of notes back to Exchange not corrupt the note format would be appreciated.
thx, t.

How to convert Outlook Express6 messages to Outlook 2007

I down loaded the .dbx file form the laptop (XP)with OE6 to a file and installed that file on the Win7 desktop with Outlook 07. I have not been able to import the messages to Outlook 07. I did ask this a week ago and got a responce from Hal but it's not
in "My Threads". Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have met this issue before and I solved it by this method.
I downloaded DBXconv and saved it into a directory with a copy of my Outlook Express mailbox files. I ran the following command to extract the messages into .eml format.
dbxconv -eml *.dbx
The utility quickly created a folder for each of my .dbx files and created an .eml file for each of my messages. I was then able to import the files into Outlook 2007 by:
1) Dragging the .eml files into Windows Mail
2) Exporting the messages from Windows Mail
3) In Outlook 2007, Selecting File – Import and Export – Import Internet Mail and Addresses
4) Select Outlook Express 4.x, 5.x, 6.x or Windows Mail
5) Check the Import Mail and Import Address book boxes and press
Next
6) In the Import Addresses window you can set how you want duplicates to be handled – Select the option and click
Finish
In addition, I find this KB article on Microsoft.com, it also introduces how to import Outlook Express messages into outlook 2007.

TS4062 I keep getting the error message "apple outlook DAV has stopped working"

My phone and I pad all of the sudden just stopped syncing with my desktop. I have had my phone for over a year when 4s first came out and everything was syncing fine. Then all the sudden it stopped. I keep getting the error message "apple outlook DAV has stopped working". I have rebooted, checked for duplicates, signed in and out of the cloud and still nothing. Has anyone had this problem and know of a good way to handle it. Also, now my phone and Ipad don't sync with the cloud either. Please help.

Windows 7 Professional. I meant that when I open a word doc and want to turn it into a PDF, i get the same error message. In the mean time I paid the $40.00 and spoke to Adobe and after 40 minutes, they re-installed Reader X instead of XI so now it works but I am not overly thrilled that I had to pay for it.

Installed Parental Controls on MBP 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (exc admin's acct). Constant message pops up- "You don't have permission to use (whatev) app." U can click: ok, always allow, allow once, but no matter what, message continues and u can't work

Hi,
I installed Parental Controls on our MacBookPro 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (except for my admin's acct). Constant messages keep popping up that say "You don't have permission to use (whatever) application." You have the option to click: ok, always allow, or allow once, but no matter what you select, the messages keep popping up and prevent you from working. I have searched these forums, and all I have found is that you are supposed to uninstall the application (Spotify, dashboard, etc). Deinstalling every app is not a solution.
If the parental controls just don't work - and frankly I'm tired of wasting all this time trying to fix the bugs - can someone recommend a program that will restrict certain user accounts to any websites I haven't specified?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
Thanks and Bye!

Replying to message on outlook resends original message to BB

I had to cancel and re-set up my outlook address account on BIS due to hardware failure of our exchange server. The setup went fine and I had no problems doing that. What's happening now is that every time I reply to an email message on outlook using outlook, the original email message is re-sent to the blackberry. The BIS setup is with IMAP and not OWA. I can't see anything in the setup that's causing this.

There could be a few different things causing this to happen. To diagnose this, can I get you to do the following:
1. Open the original email.
2. Press and hold the ALT key and type the letters V I E W.
3. Write down the Refid number.
4. Open the duplicate of the email.
5. Press and hold the ALT key and type the letters V I E W.
6. Write down the Refid number.
If the numbers are different, there is something on the mail server that is causing this email to have its reference id changed. This causes the BlackBerry Internet Service to see this as a new email when it checks. If this is the case, notify your IT administrator of that particular email account.
If the number is the same this could be something completely different.
Hope this helps.

Why does the error message "Microsoft Outlook must be closed because an error occurred" keep coming up?
