Create a new Mail Folder in Outlook 2011 and control its location?

Hello,
I want to create a new mail folder in Outlook in a location of my choosing (from dialogue box)
After selecting the location, the user would get a dialog box that asks for the users initials (i.e CY)
A second dialog box would ask for the name of the new folder.
Clicking "ok" would create a new folder in outlook that looks like this:
20131107-TECH-CY-MyFolderName
A new dialog box then prompts for a location on the Mac where a similarly named folder should be created.
Clicking "OK" uses the finder to create this folder.
Many thanks for any help!

Does anyone know how to summon a dialog box in Outlook 2011 for Mac using Applescript??

I'm not able to add a new mail account to outlook 2011 in my new MacBook Pro 15 retina

No new mail notification in Outlook - CAS Exchange RPC Client Access problem

Hi, we're facing this problem:
Users start complaining they suddenly don’t receive new mail notifications in Outlook (2010/2013) anymore
Inbox does not show the new mail either
When the user changes folders in outlook, the new mail does show in the Inbox folder
Restarting Outlook shows the new mail as well.
The same new e-mail arrives instantly (with notifications) in Owa and on mobile devices
Sometimes the new mail notification pops up after a longer period of time (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). But more often not at all.
This issue seems to occur at random. We’ve been problem free for a week, and sometimes it comes back three times a day.
Clients running Outlook 2010, 2013 cached or online, on site and off site. So it seems server related, not client.
It was seen first around January 8th. We did not make any changes around that time that we can link to this problem.
Only one CAS server (EXCH1-RTD) shows this issue. CAS servers on other sites are ok
EXCH1-RTD has CAS and HUB transport roles. The same site has two mailbox only servers. EXCH2-RTD (mailbox server for normal mailboxes). And EXCH3-RTD (mailbox server for archive mailboxes)
No entries in the event logs that seems to be related
As the problem only occurs with Outlook clients, I suspected RPC issues. We cannot gracefully stop the “Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access” service on EXCH1-RTD while the issue occurs. We
can only kill the process and restart the service, solving the issue instantly.
What we’ve tried until now:
Updated all Exchange servers from Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 to RU8-v2 (server OS=W2K8R2)
Updated all Exchange servers to latest critical Windows updates
Recalculated requirements using MS Sizing tool. Upgraded EXCH1-RTD VM from 8GB and 2 vCPU (1 core/cpu) to 16GB
and 4vCPU (1 core/cpu)
Ran various perfmon counters and compared them with other Exchange servers, not finding any obvious anomalies.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ron,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins. If the issue persists, you can create a new profile to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,

How do you cut and paste tables in and out of Excel from either Mail.app or Outlook 2011?

When I try to cut and paste a table generated in Excel for Mac into the body of an email the formatting holds but when I send the table is reduced to one column. Same is true for copying from incoming mail into Excel, when I paste into Excel it is reduced to one column rather than keeping the table format. I have tried using mail.app and went out and Outlook 2011 and both programs have the same issue. The reformatting also happens when I forward an email received from a coworker that contains a table, not just on cut and paste operations.
I need to do this regularly and right now my only option is using my old PC where the cut and paste function keeps formatting between Excel and Outlook just fine. Attaching a pdf or excel file is not an option. There has to be a way to maintain the formatting and being able to extract the tables keeping them intact. Please let me know if you have a solution to maintain this formatting within email programs. Thank you in advance.

Selecting all does not help - the issue is I need a table within an incoming email to be moved to excel, edited and then pasted back into a new email. "Select All" picks up the email headers, signatures, any messages around the table etc so that doesn't work. Also, as pointed out above Excel doesn't have a select all feature to get the tables back into the body of an email.
I just tried again going from Excel into Outlook 2011. No luck. All one column down the left side of the email. All columns are removed and text crammed into one column. Just to check I cut from one Excel document and pasted into another and it retained all formating just fine. It is only in and out of Outlook that seems to be the issue.

When I create a new mail or reply to a mail, where is the new window?

Suddenly, I can´t reply or create a new mail because when I do, the new window never appears! When I look in "Windows", I can see a list with all the empty "New Mail". But where are they? Help! Have I by mistake made some strange settings?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Look for additional information that may be available in the form of error messages written to the Console:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. Reproduce the problem and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

How can I create a new documents folder

Anyone know how I can create a new documents folder in my home folder? I accidently deleted it. Nothing was in it, so I don't need to recover it. I just want a new empty documents folder.
Actually, never mind. I solved the problem myself.
At first I created a folder in the sidebar, and it didn't have the documents icon on it. I just solved the problem by deleting that icon, then creating a new folder in the main window, naming it "documents", and then the documents icon appeared. Then I dragged it to the sidebar and it created a copy there.

My mistake. I was able to create a new documents folder without any throuble.

I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

HT204081 I recently updated i tunes and had previously relocated my library to an external hard drive, on restart I realized that itunes did not update the new location on the external but created a new itunes folder on my regular hard drive. how do I com

I need to know how to fix this. I updated itunes and it created a new itunes folder on my hard drive after I ported all of it to an external for space concerns. It took all my files from that folder and recreated part of it to my hard drive. Now when backing up I have no idea where it is backing up to. Any help appreciated

Sort of. My media was on multiple hard drives, some local, and actually some networked, and then I conolidated it to a single external hard drive. Renaming drives and moving files sounds like a recipe for disaster.
When doing a consolidation, files are copied to a new location and the old ones are left untouched. Does iTunes create a backup database of the file locations before doing a consolidation? I could use the backup if that were the case, since everything still exists in the original locations.
I've recieved my replacement hard drive for the one that crashed and I may be able to copy everything back manually if I knew where it went. I looked inside the iTunes Music Library.xml to see if I could figure out the folder structure, but for some reason they all say they're located in the iTunes folder in My Documents. They're not, of course.
Would the Previous iTunes Library.itl be of any use, or is that for another purpose?

Create a new writable folder and change permissions

This is for a customer job; I fix PCs and MACs (mostly PCs) for a living.
(1) How do I create a new writable folder on a BRAND new external HD under OS X (assume 10.5 or 10.6). Note I will first reformat the external usb HD to Apple OS extended using Disk Utility. I will then do Cntrl-I (Apple Key-I) and select reset permissions checkbox at the bottom of the Info window.
ie. I know how to create a writable folder and and rename it under Windows Explorer BUT NOT under OS X Finder.
Please provide step by step instructions. I apologize for asking such a trivial question but I need it for a job in two hours.
(2) After I copy the user home directories from another MAC HD (the other HD is connected via Target Disk to a MAC laptop as well as having the new external HD being connected) someone in another thread on a forum said to do "chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder" to make the resulting copied folders accessible to anyone.
chmod 777 -R /Volumes/Copied_Folder sounds like a DOS command under Windows OS which is entered by creating a DOS window on the Windows Desktop and entering the command in the DOS window.
HOW DO I DO THIS UNDER OS X 10.5 OR 10.6 ?
(3) I do not know what /Volumes means in the command above. Please provide a real life example. i,e Again under Windows we have (for external HDs) F: or G: etc. What are Volumes called under OS X ?
I have connected usb sticks/flash drives to a MAC and copied in needed files but never paid any attention to what the OS X FInder called them. i.e this question (3) is about SYNTAX. I do not know OS X Finder Syntax for Volumes
Again, I apologize for asking such trivial questions.
Regards,
Mike

BDAqua,
I want all security OFF and all access for everyone on external HD.
At jobsite box at bottom of CMD-I properties on entire external HD was ALREADY checked as Ignore OWNERSHIP (not permissions) on drive. Permissions were logged-in-admin account R/W and all other R which is fine as others only need read access going forward. HD was already MAC formatted as I told customer to get a MAC external HD at Best Buy.
Thanks for your reply.

Create a New Bookmark Folder and it Crashes Safari AND OSX !

This has happened to me many time and is extremely frustrating. When I create a new bookmark folder I will get a pinwheel and then all my applications applications lock up and I have to reboot the computer to regain control. I can move the mouse around, but even force quitting safari does not fix unlock the OS, even as extremely difficult it is to make it do that.
This used to happen to me on my old 2007 macbook and I was frustrated with it and its slow speed so I upgraded to a new $2000 iMac i5 and have only had it for a few weeks and it is happening on this new computer as well !!
The Safari version is 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)
What is going on here? This is not acceptable!

HI,
If Safari is crashing, post a crash report so we can try and help.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

If you migrated files from the MacBook to the iMac, that could be part of the problem.

Third party unsupported Safari add-ons can cause performance issues with Safari. If you had any installed on the MacBook and copied files over, you may have brought the same problem over to the iMac. Post a crash report ...

Moving over from Mac Mail to Mac Outlook 2011

Hi All - I am in the process of moving from Mac Mail to Mac Outlook 2011. Could anyone please advise how I disable Mac Mail. I want to keep all of the old emails there but just start using Outlook 2011. I would happy for any suggestions. I am a bit wary to start trying touring over all of the emails from Mail to Outlook, I think it would be a very long process.
Sending emails from Outlook is taking a bit of time at the moment, I'm wondering if it is to do with still having Mail sitting there.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Loner T
Thanks so much for your reply. I have taken all of the accounts offline. It does say that the messages are being stored on servers.
Do you know is it easy or laborious to export the mailbox? I have not done this before.
Thanks

How to create a new FTP folder for a child theme for Word Press?

Hello, I am getting hung up on creating a new ftp folder in OS X 10.5.8 in order to set up a child theme. Once I am in the ftp file listing <Go - Connect to Server> I'm not sure how to create the folder after that. I've tried right clicking (external mouse). Newer Macs seem to have an Add Folder button at the top of the page. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi laundry,
I tried that but it didn't work. I'm thinking I need to move in a different direction than the child theme option. Maybe I'll need to do this further down the road when my blog is more advanced. The Command +Shift+ N shortcut should work in other windows though right?
