Leave email on server imap outlook:mac 2011

Hi,
I need to read my e-mails on multiple devices and when I download onto one it is removed from the server.  How to I configure outlook:mac 2011 to leave it on the server for a specific number of days?
Thanks
John

Please post a screen shot of the Account window. More than likely your mail provider/ISP is using IMAP and Outlook is setup to access it using IMAP. You have to make sure all other devices are also accessing that account using IMAP. If one of them is accessing it by POP then the mail might get deleted from the server when downloaded to that device.
Who is your email provider?
How are you accessing the account, IMAP or POP?

  • MS Outlook Mac 2011 , mail disappearing draft

    If i send mail from my outlook mac 2011, aol account, and I am BCC multiple accounts; if one of those accounts are invalid, I get an error but can not fix it. The email is nowhere to be found. It is not in my drafts?? I want to delete the invalid email. Now it keeps appearing as an error every time I log on.

  • Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing after Maverick installation

    Hi everyone,
    just installed Maverick. Now my Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing. I just freezes up and eventually pops a window stating "microsoft outlook must be closed because an error occured. any unsaved work may be lost.". Anyone seen this too and found a way to fix?
    Cheers,

    I have found MS Office databases to be fragile.  When I had the 2008 version, it was corrupted by an MS Office upadate.  The same thing recently occurred to me in MS Office 2011 after I migrated to a new iMac.  The tech support person from Microsoft had to reinstall MS Office 2011 from scratch and I had to start over with a new Main Identity. 
    Fortunately, there are ways to migrate all your old email to a new main identity but it is a pain.  
    I suggest you head over to the Microsoft forums to see what they are saying over there.   It could be that your database was corrupted by the update to Mavericks but there are other things that cause that delicate database to get corrupted.  I realize this does not fix your problems but you might gain some additional insights at the Microsoft web site.

  • How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
    Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.
    Jesal

    Finally figured it out...
    1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
    2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
    3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
    4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
    I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
    Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
    Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
    Anyways... problem solved for now...
    ciao...

  • Multiple personalit​ies when syncing bb calendar with outlook mac 2011

    Outlook mac 2011  meetings where I invite guests appear correctly both in my bb and mac outlook calendar.  Meetings where I invite no one "appointments" won't sync no matter what I try.  Has this happened to anyone else?

    Outlook for Mac 2011 does not support iCloud contacts and calendars syncing because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV and CalDAV protocols necessary to do so (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915), which is strange since they do support these on Outlook for Windows.
    If you want to contacts and calendars with iCloud you'll have to use the OS X apps.

  • Acrobat Forms and submit to Outlook Mac 2011

    Anyone come across this.
    Use Acrobat Pro 9 and have forms set up to use in Reader with a submit button.
    Submit button runs a java script which attaches form to an email (see below), resets the form and then closes the form.
    This has worked fine with Entourage (Office Mac 2008) however we have just upgraded to Office Mac 2011 with Entourage now being replaced in the suite with Outlook.
    Now we can't get any pdf to attach itself to an email - either using the java script which lets us specify an email address, subject line and copy in the email itself OR the standard built in action in Acrobat Pro itself.
    Help?
    Java script is as follows - feel free to use.
    this.mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: "default subject",
    cMsg: "default message"

    Sorry folks - haven't looked at this for a while - found the answer on another thread - don't know why it appears answered here but the answer ain't good I'm afraid and it looks like the problem is with Adobe. Some of the answers were as follows:
    Office 2011 on Mac is not an officially supported email client for  Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X. Thanks.
    Outlook (in Mac Office 2011) is not supported?!?!  Adobe is not supporting Office, the MOST POPLAR software package available on the Mac?  This does not help Adobe and certainly does not help its customers. This is an awful deficency that needs to be fixed.
    Adobe was too dumb to go looking up what was happening with Office for Mac. They've only had 3 years to find out.  That they were replacing Entourage with Office. There is no such thing as Entourage on PC. They should have known. I think since they got caught flatfooted they will have to add.
    Put simply - it now DOES NOT work with Office 2011 for Mac - downgrade Office anyone?

  • Why would someone not receive my acceptance notification being sent from Outlook Mac 2011?

    I am using Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011, version 14.1.2 (110505) on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    When I accept a meeting invitation, my My Day window and my Outlook Calendar are both instantly populated with the event however the sender of the meeting does not receive confirmation of my acceptance. The acceptance auto-sent-message independently presents itself into my Outlook Deleted Items folder. The same happens when I click Tentative and Decline.
    How can I ensure the organiser is notified of my R.S.V.P.? How do I make sure they receive my notification?
    The Preferance pane settings for Notifications & Sounds doesn't indicate any hint as to what would be the obvious reason other than to display an alert on my desktop, bounce the Outlook icon in the Dock, have sounds assigned to mailbox behaviours, and have the ability to reset alerts.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? How did you resolve it?

  • Z10 : Sync MS Outlook Mac 2011, version 14:3:9

    Hi 
    I have downloaded the latest BB Link for Mac, can sync everything apart from contacts and calender.
    z10 is updated with latest OS
    Mac is using Software  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42) and Outlook for Mac 2011, version 14:3:9
    appreciate your assistance
    Regards
    Patrick

    This info is for a PC, must be similar for a MAC, you can find it here, open Link, click help top right and scroll down to the section "Some files didn't sync"
    Some files didn't sync
    Try the following actions:
    Verify that the battery power level of your BlackBerry device is 20% or higher. Syncing will not begin if the battery level is lower than 20%. Your battery level indicator appears at the top of the home screen on your device.
    If you are trying to sync your music, pictures, videos, or documents between your computer and your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you must connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable.
    If you changed a file on both your device and your computer, the version of the file on your computer is the version that BlackBerry Link syncs. The version of the file on your device is overwritten by the version on your computer.
    If you have a media card in your device and you have turned on USB mass storage on your device, BlackBerry Link can't access the files on your device. For information about how to turn off the USB mass storage setting, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.
    Verify that your device has enough available storage for your music, pictures, videos, and documents. Consider using a higher capacity media card for your device.
    Verify that your songs don't contain any digital rights management (DRM) technologies.
    Verify that your files are in a supported format.
    If your videos didn't sync and the video extension is supported, verify that your video or audio codecs are supported.
    If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that a file wasn't deleted. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, select the Notify me if syncing content will delete content from my device or computer checkbox.
    If you are trying to sync your contacts or calendar appointments, verify that there wasn't a conflict. In BlackBerry Link, click your device. Click Contacts/Calendar. In the Settings section, click Configure to check your sync preferences and conflict resolution options. You can also click Show Recent Activity.
    Verify that your contacts and calendar sync preferences, including the option to sync automatically are set correctly.
    If your device is activated on BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, verify with your administrator that BlackBerry Link can access the files on your device.

  • Outlook:Mac 2011 Slow When Switching to Contacts

    I am having problems with Outlook Mac.  I am on a 1.7 GHz i5 4GB Macbook Air.  When I switch from mail or calendar to contacts, the spinning wheel goes for about 15 seconds before I can search a contact.  I can seach for a contact just fine using spotlight, but I am not accustom to this and am using it more as a workaround.  I have about 3,000 contacts so I don't think this is some sort of volume issue.  On spotlight, it searches fast, just if I click on contacts while in Outlook does it seem to take forever before I can start searching.  Once I'm past the 15 seconds of waiting, it operates as one would expect.  if I click on calendar or mail and then right back to contacts, I'll need to wait again.  Has anyone experienced this?  Any suggestions on how to resolve it? 
    Thanks, Stephen

    It has been quite some time since this question has been asked, and like many others, I have scoured the net looking for a solution and I believe that I have found one.
    I deleted the Outlolok preferences out of ~/Library/Preferences and restarted Outlook. Behold, the problem was gone. Until I switched the sorting of the Contacts from the default "Name" to "Last Name". When I did that, the problem came back. In fact, if I changed the sorting to anything other than "Name", the delay would reappear. I tested this on three different MacBooks and the results were replicated across all three.
    If you are still having this problem, check to see how your contacts are sorted. It would be interesting to know if this "fix" helps anyone else.

  • POP email account - Will IPhone leave emails on server?

    Hi,
    I am a former Blackberry user.
    If I set iPhone to retrieve messages from my POP email address, do I have the option of leaving those messages on the server so that I can download them later to my Outlook 2007 via the send and receive option?
    Does iPhone delete the emails that it receives from the POP email account? I assume that iPhone just "copies" the emails, like Blackberry.
    I just want to make sure that it is like Blackberry, where I can access my emails from iPhone and still have my emails download to Outlook.
    Thank you!

    Dear Allan
    My iPhone worked perfectly but yesterday it wouldn't sync with my Mac: it didn't add new entries in my Address Book (I have 1300 and cannot do this by hand!). Eventually I started afresh ... I managed the sync after resetting sync history (all entries on Mac now on iPhone, but new ones on iPhone are now gone)
    Furthermore, I set everything re Mail and Safari like it was (I wrote it down the first time I did this and couldn't get it going) but no go: "Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE". I do not use EDGE [have a POP3 account] - I did set Network to Data Roaming (like the first time) but doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
