Is there a Mail alternative with Outlook functionality?

Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Mail (which is just pathetic in my opinion)? I am looking for a program that has, all on the same screen, just like Outlook, my mail, calendar and appointments/reminders.

You can download Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac and try Microsoft Outlook for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

Sync Mail settings With Outlook

Hello , i am totally new at this. I have a question, how I can sync my mail settings with Microsoft Outlook . In my situation , I use Microsoft Outlook of course. When I use the Mail app it downloads all my messages , however they each appear with a blue dot next to them indicating it's unread. So I want to make it that , if I read a message in the Mail app , it will also mark it as unread on the Outlook server . If I delete a message in Mail , it deletes on Outlook as well, and so on . Please tell me how i can do this, thanks.

Syncing via MobileMe might work - but it costs and you have to be able to install a client on the Outlook PC. There's a 60-day trial of you want to have a look

Mail synch with Outlook 2007 vs. Server

Hey there, I'd like to sort out an issue I'm having with the eMail sync process between Outlook and my iPhone. I hope I'll be able to get this across ...
I like to use my PC as my primary eMail machine, at the same time being able to synch my emails to the iPhone. What I don't like to see is my iPhone synching eMail directly with my eMail Server.
I have connected the iPhone to the PC, using iTunes and I am synching contacts, calender and email through iTunes to the iPhone. However, it seems my iPhone is synching directly with my eMail Server (which sits at my ISP) rather than with my PC. Is there any way to stop this and to make sure the iPhone will synch eMail only with the PC not with the sever?
Configuration is:
PC with Vista, Outlook 2007
iPhone 1.1.4
Thx !

There is no syncing of actual mail files through iTunes. The settings in iTunes for mail are to configure the Mail accounts on the phone.
The Mail application is a mail client just as you would find on a computer. When you configure the mail account settings, the iPhone accesses your mail servers and retrieves/sends mail.

Mail compatibility with Outlook Exchange server?

As a result of a merger and longtime staff complaints, my largely PC-based organization is converting to an Outlook-based e-mail system.
I telecommute from another city and use a Mac exclusively. Presently, I retrieve my e-mail from the existing system (First Class) by having Mail "grab" it off the server. I would like to continue to do this after the changeover to Outlook.
Is that possible with my version of Mail (2.1.3), and if so, how? What about using Mobile Me to reroute Outlook messages to Mail? If neither of these alternatives will work, will I have to use Entourage?

I love mac mail, however, have "test run" entourage, and found it pleasant, a lot better than outlook, actually (not as clonky and visually more appealing). The setup is very different to macmail, of course (not as neat). But this is just an opinion, in case you go with entourage (it will import mac mail settings fine).
I do not think, however, that mac mail and outlook server are compatible (see http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=173560).
Is thunderbird compatible (free and quite nice, i think)?

Need Mail alternative with Global Inbox and true Exchange support

I currently have 2 exchange accounts and 2 IMAP accounts that I would like to find a client for that supports a Global Inbox. I am trying out Entourage now, and I generally like the features available, but it does not have a Global Inbox (that I know of) and expanding/collapsing/scrolling through my inbox's is driving me insane. Please let me know if there is anything out there that can help me with my situation. Also, I do not want to use IMAP for the exchange accounts, so no Thunderbird.
Thanks,
Matt

I would like to find a client for that supports a Global Inbox.
In Mail, click the little arrow to the right of "Inbox" in the mailbox list. Now select "Inbox" to view all the messages in all In boxes. (Technically, you don't even have to collapse the list to do this.) I can't say anything about exchange support, though, but perhaps you should let folks know how Mail's exchange support is inadequate so any advice is more relevant.

Mail compatibility with outlook

Greetings,
all my windows/outlook clients and friends don't see my e-mails properly.
I tested it also. *the problem is that when I use my composed signature, witch inlcudes text and the company logo in a small gif file everything gets to outlook as an attachment*. Sometimes it also happens with no text.
thanks

no one from apple?
These are user to user forums, so you won't find help from Apple as such. If you haven't done so already, you can try searching this forum for "Outlook" to find other discussions related to problems when that app is being used at the other end. I suspect people who need maximum compatibility with the MS world use Entourage or Thunderbird rather than Mail.
You can tell Apple how you would like Mail improved here:

MacOS 10.6.8 mail issues with Outlook

Hi,
I am using the Mail application on my MacBook Pro to download Gmail and Outlook mail. I don't have any problems with the Gmail but unfortunately I do have some with the Outlook mail (Exchange 2007 server). After I send mail, I don't see the Send field and the Cc and Bcc field. That is a problem because I use Cc and Bcc very often.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any alternative to ago function

Hello,
I am using obiee 11g.Trying to use ago function at quarter level with the date prompts as filter
instead of year prompt but somehow the data is not matching properly.
Would like to know if there is any alternative to ago function?
I just want to calcultate the count(distinct(id)) for current and previous quarter,where the report gets filtered by date fields.
The report has user column,quarter column and the currrentcount and previous count.
like
user1->Q1->10->19
user1->Q2->20->10
User3->Q1->11->26
Any help on this please?
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for reply.
Is the grain below quarter level?
------> Calc date is below quarter level in the time dimension,Time dimesnion has FS Year(level1)->FS Quarter(level2)->Cal Date and Time key(Time key is the primary key with the combination of cal date and the pk of some other table (level3))
Does quarter exists as a field in your date dimension?
--------->Yes Fs Quarter is a field/column in the table and in the dimension
check if quarter is a chronological key, does your quarter contain year in it(2011-02)?
-------->In each level i have key defined, also in the FS Quarter i have.
In the level3 i have both the key defined as key but cal_date as pk.
Yes, Data of the qtarter is in the form 2012-01.
Do you have quarter in your report, without date field?
--------->yes, the report has FS_qtr,count for current qtr,count for previous qtr using ago function
and the filter used is cal_date>='01-JUN-11'
facts->
There is a view in the database which is being created for time dimesnion.
The view has
FS_Year , FS_Qtr , Calc_Date ,Cal_month , cal_qtr, TimeKey(PK) , Pk_from someother_table_acting_as_fk.
Please let me know where i am going wrong?
One more thing i would like to add if i use the filter as FS_YEAR>=2011 then the counts comes perfectly.Problem is with cal date field.Just not bale to understnd where i am i going wrong?

Well there are many issues with Outlook but the crashing does indicate a issue with Windows.

Having problem with to_lob function

Hi,
Oracle DB version: 10.2.0.1.0
Tools being used: SQL Developer and SQLPlus (I have tried the query on both)
Create table test
col_xml LONG
...Note: We cannot convert this column to CLOB permanently because we just don't have the right to do that. :-(
Now, the problem is, I'm trying to convert this LONG into a CLOB using the TO_LOB function but still getting this error:
select TO_LOB(col_xml) from test;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got LONGBy the way, our main goal is to query this column so that we could filter the rows that we need.
Sort of:
select TO_LOB(col_xml) from test where TO_LOB(col_xml) like '%criteria%';Have I missed something or any idea on how to make my goal possible. The TO_LOB function is pretty simple but I don't know why it doesn't work in our my environment.
Suggestion/Ideas/Links to learning materials is high appreciated (Prefer oracle sites, message boards and forums are blocked by the firewall :-( ).
Thanks.

Follow up question: This TO_LOB function looks simple and easy to use but as shown above in my post it throws an error message. Have I missed something or is there something in our environment that affected the behavior of this function?Have a look at Oracle® Database SQL Language Reference.
There are several limitations with this function. It boils down to the following:
"<i>Before using this function, you must create a LOB column to receive the converted LONG values. To convert LONG values, create a CLOB column. To convert LONG RAW values, create a BLOB column.</i>"
So in other words, this function needs a destination LOB to write the LONG content into. It does not dynamically create the destination LOB/CLOB.
So you cannot do this as there is no explicit LOB definition to receive the converted LONG content:
SQL> select TO_LOB(text) from all_views where owner = 'SYSTEM' and view_name = 'PRODUCT_PRIVS';
select TO_LOB(text) from all_views where owner = 'SYSTEM' and view_name = 'PRODUCT_PRIVS'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got LONGBut if we create a destination LOB, we can use the function. E.g.
SQL> create table view_text( view_name varchar2(30), view_sql clob );
Table created.
SQL> insert into view_text select view_name, TO_LOB(text) from all_views where owner = 'SYSTEM' and view_name = 'PRODUCT_PRIVS';
1 row created.
SQL> The bottom line to this is: LONG IS AN EVIL DATA TYPE.
It should not be used. It dates back to Oracle 7. We are now at 11g. Several versions later. Still using the LONG data type in applications should be dealt with swiftly and harshly using the old lead pipe. Even a legacy app would have undergone several updates since Oracle v7. And that would have provided ample opportunity to convert from the horrible LONG data type to LOB.

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts. I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine. IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc. I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine. The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore. Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

Hot Synch with Outlook Synchs mail only

I have an M500 and the hotsynch works and gives all OK messages on all the items of outlook but the data is not on the handheld for anything but the mail. My system is windows XP Pro and Outlook 2003. I have downloaded the newest Palm One desktop 4.1.4 software. My PC is on a local network in my office.
Post relates to: Palm m500

When you installed the Palm Desktop software did you setup the software to sync with Outlook? If you are unsure right click on your hotsync icon next to your clock and select custom. In there do you see Address Book(Outlook) or Contacts(Outlook)? If not the next thing you would need to do is download Palm Desktop 4.1.4E. This version will work with your device. Here is the link, http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/32991_en.html. When you are installing it be sure to pick Outlook. If you miss it, it is ok. Once it is done installing go to Start-->Programs/All Programs-->Palm or PalmOne-->PIM conduit sync-->Sync with Outlook. Once this is done you should be all set.

Mail Marked with Quick Flags (follow up) in Outlook, Tasks - TO-DO LIST - Not SYNCING

This question goes for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007
I'm currnetly using outlook 2007
In Outlook I store mail marked with "quick flags" (follow-up). Outlook shows theses flagged emails under Tasks \ To-Do List. To-Do list is under TASKS in outlook, but does not sync with Blackberry.
I use Desktop Manager 4.7 to synchronize outlook and my blackberry curve 8330 (calendar, memos, tasks and contacts). The behaviour of task synchronization makes that only task appears on my blackberry but not the flagged mails.
I guess what i'm asking, is it possible to synchronize the complete outlook to-do list with my blackberry?

Outlook already provides that feature (depends on the version of Outlook I guess) :
https://www.officecalendar.com/news/2006April4_convert_emails_to_appts.aspx
otherwise there is a macro that does the same :

Is there a way to invite outlook users to meetings with Ical

Hello all,
I just recently left a firm using MS Exchange with Outlook for Mac 2011 and had been successfully sending meeting requests automatically within my Outlook email. When the recipient accepted, the meeting was added to my calendar.
I am now starting my own business and am left without an exchange. I am on Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Is there a solution to do this with Mac Mail and Ical?
Could I buy/create my own exchange?
How are business people using Mac to efficiently communicate and successfully add appointments and share call-in information with others?
Also, is there a way to move emails from Outlook 2011 folders to Mac Mail folders? I have tried the drag and drop process, dragging the Outlook folder to my desk top to create an mbox file, however, for some reason only about 30% of the folder's email are captured....
Thanks,
S

Csound,
Thank you for the reply. I have read other older posts you have replied to on this topic and I was hoping that there was going to be an update. It seems this is a popular subject and one Apple and MS are not willing to play nice in the Sandbox on.
If I purchase Office 365 and pay for monthly webhosting, email, etc. will my Ical friendly collegues be able to accept meeting invites? This means I would more or less be operating as I did while at the PC friendly company..correct?
Also, would this allow me to then use the 365 email account on my Iphone (all devices would sync) as I was while on my company exchange?
Thanks again for the help,
S
I should add, that I have much prefered using Outlook 2011 rather than the Mac Mail client as well.
