Opening an Outlook .PST file in Office:mac 2011

Hi,
I have plowed through discussions concerning importing Outlook Windows data files (.PST) into a Mac Office (in my case, Office:mac 2011) but I am really looking for behaviour similar to that of the Windows client. My current .PST file is located on a shared remote drive on our company network, which is backed up regularly and as I am using both the Windows and the Mac flavor, I would need the Mac version to open the PST file in a similar fashion, ie. online, and use it as my email storage box. As I understand, importing a Windows-made PST file makes local copies of the email messages and events, which would mean I would need to be importing the Windows PST file every day to have the same or similar version run on both computers.
So just to make it clear: is it possible to use the "online2 PST file with the Mac client in the same fashion as with the Windows client?
Thanks in advance!

it sounds link, the links changed from relative paths to absolute path. You need to use absolute path in original file.

  • Acrobat 9 PDF files lost when importing a PST file in Office Mac 2011

    When one imports an MS Outlook data file created in either Outllok 2007 or 2010 (a PST file) into Outlook for Mac 2011, PDF's made in Acrobat 7  or earlier are imported as are those made on a Mac.
    However, any PDF file attachment made in Acrobat 9 is removed (not imported) into Outlook 2011 for Mac.
    If anyone has any great thoughst on this, they would be welcomed as I have given up after 20 hours of work and research. In the absence of any 'fix', l may have to set up a temporary  MS Exchange account and export to a server and back again.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. It might be the difference between the Home and Student versions and the Home and Business versions. You need to ask the educational institution you're getting it through what the difference between the two options they are offering is.
    I've used Office for Mac for a long time. There are some differences in the applications themselves, they're minor and it should serve you just fine.

    How can i open the Archived outlook pst file in my Mac air, i want to access my old outlook mails.

    System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "system.policy");Is this a new feature in JDK1.4? I don't see it in

  • Office mac 2011 cannot open pdf

    I cannot open pdf files in office mac 2011.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.

    It sounds like you want to be able to modify a PDF in Word.
    If that is the case you need a program that will open the PDF and then perform an OCR (Optical Scan Recognition) on it to convert it back to text (PDF is a form of image/graphic file; like a photo taken of how it will print).
    Take a look at PDFPen Pro:

    They also have a more limited featured version for less money:

    I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now.  Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it.  I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
    Outlook is still not working.  Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

    Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
    It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
    Have you got any more tips?

  • Which conversion software can I download to mac to convert outlook .pst files to mac .mbox files?

    Can anyone recommend software I can ddownload to an iMac to convert outlook .pst files stored on a memory stick to .mbox files for transfer to mac mail?  I have mail files I set up in outlook I need to transfer to my new mac, but have no internet connection on pc, so can't download anything on to it and have had to export .pst files to a usb stick.

    Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
    No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.
    Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
    Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

  • How do I import my Outlook 2013 PST file into Office 365 and then have them permanently synced?

    I have Office 365. I have Outlook 2013 downloaded on my computer with all my emails and contacts, etc.
    I want to import the entire PST file with my emails, contacts etc. into Office 365 / Exchange Online (cloud?). Once that is done, I want to set it up so that my Desktop Outlook will always update and sync with my Office 365 when I am out of the office and
    use the Outlook mail App.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi,
    You can also use Outlook or Outlook Web App to import your existing PST file into your Office 365 account.
    First configure your Office 365 account into Outlook, then use Import/Export
    feature in Outlook client to import your PST file:

  • Outlook 2013 are not opening and showing pst files are not closed properly

    Hi
    Outlook 2007 has stopped working and showing close the program. Again,we re-started then outlook 2007 and it has opened and taken the backup of pst files in a separate hard drive.
    The pst file was repaired in scanpst.exe and again i have tried to put the pst file back in outlook 2007.It was hanging and suddenly i have uninstalled 2007 and started installing outlook 2013.
    2013 applications like word,excel,power point are opening and outlook 2013 are not able to open and showing pst files were not closed properly.
    Again i have un-installed and re-installed the outlook 2013.still we are not able to open the outlook.
    Need your support at the earliest to fix the issue.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What's the .pst file used for? Archive? Or you set up a POP3 account and want to import the emails from the .pst file?
    Another question, you mentioned you installed Outlook 2013 and it didn't open either. Was this from the beginning right after you installed Outlook 2013, or after you did something such as create a new Profile, set up a new account and tried to import the
    .pst file?
    Kindly answer my questions so I can understand the situation better.
    I've seen some of this issue caused by the anti-malware software, check your anti-malware software to see if it's trying to interfere with Outlook - things like real time email checking can sometimes cause these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, we can
    simply disable the anti-malware software temporarily to see the result.

  • I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

    I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
    I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
    However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
    I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
    Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)

  • Icloud is set, is it possible to change outlook pst file?

    I'm curious if I can alter my outlook pst file settings to the point to delete the default calender and replace that calander with the Icloud one?  Currently, when my outlook 2010 opens up to my outlook pst date file overview which gives me any tasks, emails and calendar activities so I konw what's all going on.  However, all my data was deleted from my outlook calendar when I imported it into my Icloud.  I like everything the way it is, however, I just need to replace that empty outlook calender with the Icloud calendar.
