MS Outlook For Mac

Does anyone know why I can access my work emails on my iPhone but when it comes to setting up the account in my MS Outlook for Mac, I can't?
I have tried quite a few permitations but I just don't manage to pull it off. Just for the record, the email account type is exchange.
Thanks for your help, Mike

The following would explain what I suspect is the most likely cause.
When you configure an iPhone (or iPad) to connect to your MS Exchange account it will use a protocol called EAS (Exchange Active Sync), I would expect all companies to have enabled access to this protocol. However when you configure Outlook for Mac to connect to the same Exchange server it cannot use EAS as Outlook for Mac does not support this and instead uses EWS (Exchange Web Services). This is a totally different protocol and very little software uses it other than Outlook for Mac the only other notable example of an application that uses it is Apple Mail. Outlook for Windows generally uses MAPI which Outlook for Mac does not support.
As a result many enterprise users of Exchange might start off with not having EWS enabled on their server or blocked by their network firewall.
Therefore it looks like you need to speak to the IT department and get them to check this and if necessary enable EWS access.

  • Unable to send email from Mac using Outlook for Mac 2011

    I have a single user that cannot send email from the Mac after migrating to Exchange 2013 on-prem. I myself am on the same Exchange server and am using a Mac with Office 2011 and am able to send/receive emails without any issues.
    When the user sends an email it goes to the sent mail folder and syncs with the server and can be seen on a windows machine running any other version of Office (same in OWA). I've logged the user in on my Mac and blown away my profile and seeing the same issue.
    Not sure if this narrows my issue down to the Exchange server receiving the send request from a Mac or if it's some setting in Outlook on the Mac?
    I do not see anything in the logs on the server and have not seen any error son the Mac.
    Any thoughts as to where my issues is? 

    Hi,
    According to your description, I find that there is a single user cannot send email.
    I suggest using Outlook on Windows machine and sending emails via this single user to verify whether the emails can be sent.
    If the single user can send email via Outlook on Windows machine, it seems an issue on the Mac side.
    I suggest asking Outlook for Mac Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:

    If can't send emails in Outlook, it seems an issue on the single user side.
    I suggest trying to access the single user's mailbox via OWA to verify whether the mailbox has been migrated completely.
    Thanks

  • Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

    Hi all,
    we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our
    Exchange Server. 
    We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
    What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:
    Timestamp Sender Recipients MessageSubject
    25.02.2015 16:48:52 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:04:43 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:08:25 [email protected].. {[email protected]} test 3
    25.02.2015 17:08:56 [email protected].. {[email protected]} test 4

    25.02.2015 17:13:45 [email protected].. {}
    25.02.2015 17:13:55 [email protected].. {}
    We can still reproduce the issue on different Mac computers.
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Thanks and best regards

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Syncing Outlook for Mac with a hotmail pop accountto 'mail' on iphone, ipad and ipod

    I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, with a hotmail account set up as a pop account to my outlook inbox.  I also have that same hotmail account set up on my iphone, ipad and ipod.  Is there a way to sync my e-mail between Outlook for Mac and the 'mail' on my other devices, so that when I delete an email on my computer, it deletes on all devices?
    I'm not so tech savvy and am happy to provide any additional information but am not sure where to start!  I would appreciate any help you can give me.
    Thank you

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).

  • Want to use Outlook for Mac 2011

    Hello!
    I want to use Outlook for Mac 2011 for my calendar, email, and contacts on my Macbook Air, iPhone 6, and iPad Air.  Is this possible to sync with all these devices with this program?  I am more organized with Outlook than using the different Apple programs.  It has more options. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    If you have outlook on all 3 devices, should be okay. However, I am suggesting you to probably try the Apple's and get used to it as you are using all notebook, phoneme and tab with Apple. Might save you some money with that.

  • How do I add my iCloud mail to Outlook for Mac

    I can't seem to get my iCloud mail account to sync with my Outlook for Mac!  It used to be on there but kept giving me error messages saying it couldn't pick up my mail because it couldn't find the server.  I took it off now I can't get it back on.

    Check that you have the server settings shown in this Apple Tech Note:

  • How to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011 (ical)

    Hey All
    Problem:
    Want to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011.
    Want to have them sync on the fly (push)
    Currently running 2 exchange mailboxes which have their own mailboxes and calendars which you can toggle between.
    For the PC this is a relatively straight forward task.. You can add an additional calendar to outlook and you are away. Wife's PC can view her own personal exchange calendar and on a separate tab she can view, edit, print etc the family share calendar.
    For outlook for Mac, I've tried a few work arounds and none of them actually work, all the Apple documentation available doesn't really cover this.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Cheers

    Hi,
    According to your description, I notice that Outlook for Mac for Office 365 cannot open shared calendar.
    If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    Which account are you used, Exchange account or Microsoft account?
    Would you please login OWA and test to open this shared calendar?
    Outlook for Mac cannot open the shared calendar which is a sub-calendar, you have to ask calendar owner share all calendars under the default "Calendar" folder.
    More details about it, for your reference:

  • Iphone 4s will no longer sync with itunes 11.0.4 using outlook for mac

    I have been successful for almost 18 months in getting my Outlook for Mac 2011 to sync to my iphone 4s using itunes.  However, I noticed today that changes that I was making to my contacts either on my phone or on the computer were not being synced up.  I also plug in using USB to sync, because iCloud causes all sorts of probems when syncing things to Outlook for Mac.  Can anyone help me?
    I have noticed that in itunes 11.0.4 there is no longer a box to check or a dropdown box specifically being able to choose "sync contacts with outlook"
    I know I am in the dark ages, but I happen to like Outlook and the integration of the calendar and contacts, etc.  So I would really like to get this fixed and syncing again.
    thanks for any and all help.

    I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or information as to why?

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

  • Solution for Outlook for mac no longer syncing to iCloud?

    I have a new iPhone 5s and am running Mavericks on my MacBook. I use Outlook for mac for my mail and contacts.
    The new version of iTunes (since around mid October 2013) no longer syncs contacts and calendars from Outlook - and from searching forums online it seems that Outlook no longer syncs with iCloud.
    When I log into www.iCloud.com this seems to be true as my iPhone calendar is consistent with the calendar I see on iCloud.com, so icloud seems fine.
    The problem is that calendar appointments and contacts from Outlook on my mac do not sync through to iCloud - and I cannot work out how to acheive this - very frustrating.
    Can anyone help or offer a suggestion?
    Thank you!

    Thanks Csound - I don't know the technical details - but until October all contacts and calendars were syncing from Outlook for mac through onto my iPhone and iPads - each time that I synced connected with iTunes.
    The newer version of iTunes now no longer syncs these - so I'm stuck using Outlook on mac and an iPhone - but neither will talk to each other - the contacts and calendars don't swap.
    Surely I'm not the only person with this problem - has anyone else found a workaround?
    If you're using Outlook for mac how are you syncing info to icloud and back?
    Whether through google or sending using iCloud mail, or whatever it might be.
    Thank you

  • No Sync with Imac and Outlook for mac 2011

    Hello,
    just bought a new bb torch, but it does not synchronise with outloop (office for mac 2011).
    no contacts, no agenda.
    I can not choose which agenda/contacts.
    It looks like the Torch goes to the standard email progam of Imac and not to Outlook.
    The only contacts are the standard contacts from addressbook imac.
    thanks in advance,
    rob

    I have just discovered the same thing - if you do a search around the topic you will find it confirmed that the only thing that will sync with Outlook for Mac is contacts.
    I've just moved everything over from a PC to a Mac and so to find it not working is so frustrating.
    SORT IT OUT RIM - or at least assure us you're working on it.

  • Acrobat X v10.0 - cannot Submit Form in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I created a form in Acrobat X v10.  When submitting the form in Windows, it opens the Select Email Client window, user can select Desktop Email Application, click OK and the completed form is sent via Outlook.  When I try to do the same on a Mac, it goes through the process, but doesn't send.  It looks like it will, but when I go to the Sent Items, it's not there and doesn't send. 
    I suspect it's something to do with Outlook for Mac 2011, but does anyone know of a workaround other than saving the file to the computer and sending the old fashioned way?  I really would prefer users not saving the file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi oc_jane,
    Is Outlook 2011 your default mail application?
    What version of Mac OS are you running?
    If you click the following email address, [email protected] does it launch a new blank email in Office 2011 w/ that email address in the 'To:' line?
    Thanks,
    David
