Outlook 2007 - hotmail not not populating in outlook - incoming/outgoing server not working

Hi - I am switching computers and have reinstalled Outlook 2007. When I add my account it asks for incoming/outgoing mail server information from my ISP. I am unable to look on previous laptop set up as the "repair"
portion of account is not highlighted and I can't get to that level to see it. I contacted my ISP (Comcast) who provided: Incoming Server: mail.comcast.net and Outgoing Server: smtp.comcast.net. They also provided incoming mail server: port
number 995 (POP3) 110 (POP3); and outgoing mail server: 465(SMTP) 587(SMTP). This is not working. Who has a solution?
P.S. Comcast is my new provider as of 3 weeks ago and no issues with old laptop--also that would not have been my incoming/outgoing server information then. thank you

Hi,
Apple have instructions here on how to setup MobileMe:

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

Can't get Godaddy outgoing server to work in Mail - OK in Outlook

No matter what I try, I just cannot get the Godaddy outgoing server to work in Mail, but it works OK in Outlook for Mac which I don't really want to use if I can avoid it.
I've tried all my 3 accounts and none of them work with sending. All Ok receiving.
Tried smtpout.secureserver.net with and without SSL, and with all sorts of ports 80, 3535, etc.
Nothing works.
Can anyone suggest any solution or more in depth troubleshooting methods. I feel it's some security issue which Outlook seems to have more settings for.
Thanks.

Just for clarification for the OP these are two different approaches to get to the same file.
1.)While holding down the option key, >>Shows the hidden users Library (~/Library.)
or
2.) select Finder>Go>Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Using the Go to Folder option will take you directly to the file itself in your user Library (~/Library,) no option key necessary.

I have a problem with syncing my calander with outlook 2007 for iPhone 5s, ipad 1st and 3rd generation. Contacts work find, and new and changed enteries in outlook all go to the devices. Device Cal changes do not appear in Outlook

Over the past year or so, I have been unable to fully sync my iPads with outlook 2007 calander. Now I have an iPhone 5s, and really need the calander fixed. Contacts seem to sync in both directions, and any new or changed cal enteries in outlook appear on the device. The problem is that any new or changed calander enteries do not make ip back to outlook 2007, so there is only one-way syncing (down to the device) but no return, for calander entries.
I am now using the latest itunes, which I followed the recommendation delete all apple stuff, and then reinstall, I have used scanpst, built new PSts, etc, am I am stuck.
Not using icloud either.
Not using wi-fi, purely USB cabale sync
Running on Windows XP, SP3
Now IOS 7.0.2 on iPhone and 1 iPad (3rd gen)

Kept searching, found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23321067#23321067
Bottom line: if you follow the recommendation to delte all itunes software and re-install, it don't work (at least for me and many others).
However, purge the data (certain data) and the data syncs.
I think the folder is Apple Computer\Preferences and it needs to be purged.
To be sure, maybe someone can rename the folder on their system, then run itunes and see if it syncs ok.
The idea is to figure out the least minimum stuff that needs to be touched in order to get a working solution than having to purge all Apple software and then rebuild it all over again.
I had purged other files out of inpatience, but did not want to purge entire folders because I had Safari, and Quicktime software, and did not want to wipe that out, Plus there were software downloads and device backups in some of those folders. But I really believe it is the preferences folder, and I would like someone with the same problem to try it and verify it.
Once the preferences folder is removed/renamed (taken out of the picture) pluggin in the device and go to the INFO (I think that is the iTunes tab) page where you select calanders, contacts, email accounts, etc. They will all be unchecked (because you wiped out the preferences) and you need to reselect them. Then run your sync.
What I had done in testing was create something on the device, and modify something else on the device looking to see what got up to Outlook. I got the good news that something good was happening when I got the conflict message from iTunes, and it showed both Outlook and iPhone, showing the calander entry I changed on the iPhone. Never got that before. After the sync, everything looked good the few test entries were uploaded to outlook.
Now, My Cal is 10L+ enteries, and I am doing 100% sync (I don't select the option to ignore enteries over x days). I also have 1400+ contacts. Before this change, the sync of contacts & calanders took a couple of hours (and only operated ONE-WAY, now the syn is taking less than 5 minutes for this one step.
I am a Windows XP Professional user, x32 bit system, using Outlook 2007, iTunes 11.1.1.11, I am standalone (no exchange server) and have about 10 email accounts (mainly POP) defined. I am using only one calander in outlook, but I have Outlook and 2 gmail calanders in the iPhone.
I am running iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd Gen both with IOS 7.0.2 and a 1st generation iPad with the latest version of IOS 5.x.
If anyone else has success, I'd like to hear, along with your experience.

Can not import Outlook 2007 .CSV or .PST files into Outlook 2013 on Win 8.1 64 bit

I have a new computer (Sony VAIO Pro 11 Ultrabook) with a brand new install of Win 8.1 - 64 bit and MS Office 2013 Professional Plus. Everything works fine EXCEPT I can not import my contacts or calendar from Outlook 2007 Win 7 - 32 bit into the
.msn folders in each case. I can open .pst files in Outlook 2013 but they open in a local file and when I copy and paste them into the Exchange ActiveSync .msn contact and calendar files so that they will sync with Outlook.com Outlook 2013 crashes.
It can't even be reopened unless the wireless is turned off, and then you have to create a new data file as a default and then delete the old account and re-establish it. I have tried using the import functions as well with both
.CSV and .PST files that were exported from Outlook 2007 and an error message stating that this is not supported comes up. I have also tried to turn on sync with my iPhone to see if the files will sync from the phone through Outlook.com and nothing happens
there either - no sync on the web and nothing at the PC. Email works fine after adding the account again etc.
None of the procedures on the forums work (open PST file in the local folder then copy/paste, drag/drop, or move the files) so please don't respond with those links. All result in crash. Does anyone at MS know what's up with their latest
and greatest SW?
Thank you for your assistance.

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

Outlook 2007 on XPsp2 OEM unable to connect to Exchange Server 2003??

Hi
My outlook 2007 came part and package of the Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition, and our SBS server runs Exchange 2003.
After setting up the connection in Outlook to connect too Exchange (when clicking test (check name) on configuration it is successful) --
The Error Message is so upon start up :
Cannot Open your Default e-mail Folders, You must connect to microsoft exchange with the current user profile before you can synchronize your folders with your offline folder file..
When disabling the cached exchange mode the error message changes however, but it is still unable too actually open outlook.
Cannot open your default E-Mail Folders. The Attempt too log on to the exchange server failed... (after in the configuration the test suceeded.)
The computer has a fresh copy of XP SP2 OEM, as well as Microsoft Outlook, only other software on is SQL server 2000 (All microsoft Updates installed). The active user is domain controlled and has the same credentials as is used by Exchange.
After selecting the checkbox under Control Panel -> Mail -> ......... "User Identification" -> Always prompt for login credentials no change is made to this error....
I then disabled the use of offline folders..... "could not open your default email folders. The information store could not be opened"
Please provide assistance in any way possible.... ASAP as well if possible.
Thanks a lot
Marc

DM 7.1.032 When syncing to Outlook 2007 deleted over 100 contacts in Outlook

Upgraded to the latest version of DM 7.1.032. Never had a problem with syncing between phone and Outlook 2007 before. This time it deleted over 100 Outlook contacts. How do I recover those lost contacts?
WIN XP Pro
BB Bold 9900
Never did an Outlook Backup
Not on an exchange server

Welcome to the forums
I would setup the sync settings for the address book again. After your select one way sync, make sure the "replace all data in the target application" is checked off.
If you don't want to do this, you should also check the "Advanced" options. Under the address book tab, click on "Conflict Resolution" and see if it is set to "Notify me if conflict occurs". Changing to this, or one of the other options, may help.

Outlook 2007 Phonebook transfer to Mac Office2011 Outlook

Hello!
How can I transfer my Outlook 2007 Windows 7 Phonebook and other files to Mocrosoft Office 2011 Outlook for Mac.
Is it possible over USB stick?
Please help me.
Greetings from Vienna from Pepimeier

Hi Lex,
From the description, you got the error message "message interface has returned an unknown error." when exporting Outlook data to a PST file, correct?
Based on my research, this issue may happen if one of the following two conditions is true:
There is some internal problem with Microsoft Outlook messaging interface.
There is corruption in PST file.
If it's due to Microsoft Outlook messaging interface, this issue should be fixed after restarting Outlook. If it is caused by Outlook PST file corruption, we can try using the Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) to scan and repair your PST file. By default,
we can find the Scanpst.exe tool under:
For Outlook 2007 on a 32-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
For Outlook 2007 on a 64-bit version of Windows:
<disk drive>:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12
For more information, see: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227
In addition, if your PST file is too large and exceed the maximum size limit, it may also cause PST file corruption. In Outlook 2007, the PST file size limit is 20 GB. Please make sure your PST file doesn't exceed the limit.

Incoming Mail Server Not Responding

Hi from a Mac Newbie...
I am trying to set up multiple email acounts to be accessed by Mail, and keep getting the "The POP server “mail.hotmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable". The same for just hotmail.com. Once I get this to work I need to set up gmail, too.
Am I typing something in wrong?
Thanks

Has it worked before on the pad. If it has in the past, and does not now that means either the server is down or busy, just wait a while. or some how you have altered you name or password or some other server parameter inadvertently.
Third choice is you have dropped your Internet connection. Is anything else on the Internet working?
Try the same account from safari using web,ail, or from another computer. If it is down, it will be down there as well. If it works there, but not from the pad, recheck the parameters and your connection again.

The smtp outgoing server which works for Ipad will not work for iPad mini?

Why would the out going server which works for iPad not work on iPad mini

Mike found this from the website from your email provider make sure your using the imap server unless you want to use pop on your device.
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server:
pop.bellaliant.net
imap.bellaliant.net
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server:

Just resolved Back to my Mac issue called Apple Suppport in the UK and they were really helpful if the error DNS server not responding the problem is with Apple server not your server ( I had tried to reboot by router, restart my laptop etc.

I was having problem with my Back to my Mac as message was saying DNS Server not responding . I tried to turn my WIFI off, then my router to no avail. Decided to call Apple Support line in the UK . I got a call back immediatly and great support. The advisor took over my screen and we check that my laptop was synchronising with I phots and it was. The adviser also told that when the message DNS server is not responding next to Back to my Mac is has to do with Apple Server not mine , router etc... Hope this save others some time! Rather than spending time truining on and off changing IP address etc...

Thanks for your thorough post. I too need to use BTMM on almost a daily basis for my job, and it has fallen short countlness times. I too have taken great pains to check all of the typical trouble shooting steps within iCloud and in the Apple keychain on each Mac etc, but after the latest rounds of system updates from Apple a few weeks ago to Mountain Lion, BTMM on one of my Macs is completely broken and unusable. I would concur that if you need remote access for "real" mission critical use, just bite the bullet and pay for a service like LogMeIn. You won't regret it and you will get real software support.

Our email keeps saying server not found - it is up and running and we can access it from other computers just not the imacs, our email keeps saying server not found - it is up and running and we can access it from other computers just not the imacs

Our email keeps shutting down and saying server not found. It works fine on all the PCs but not our iMacs. Any help would be appreciated. We just downloaded the new LION - would this be an issue?

I feel like I'm getting closer. First, the connector on our cable didn't fit snugly. Tug it slightly and it lost contact. I put a new cable on the server and now it seems more robust. Server Admin opened faster, anyway.
In the Console, I'm seeing some Kerberos errors:

This server is bound to Active Directory (using Directory Utility -- don't know if I need to do it elsewhere?) and I'm not sure what was trying to authenticate at that time.
My error messages for "server not found" have gone away for my iChat client, but now it just pops up the authentication window over and over when I try to log in. I'm wondering if there's something missing in the server binding?

Outgoing server not working now

i have a mbp and g5 desktop. both mail programs are setup the same. my mbp mail's outgoing server is not connecting or working all of a sudden....worked yesterday fine. my g5 is working fine. my mbp is wireless....my g5 is hardwired into the modem. any thoughts?
i havent moved im in my house it worked fine yesterday and the past year. anythoughts?

What does “is not connecting or working” mean? What’s the problem exactly?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that makes a difference — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc.

TS3276 hotmail smtp outgoing server not working

I have been unable to send emails from my Mail account as it continues to say SMTP server is offline. Has only been happening in the last 2 weeks. Any advice???

It sounds like your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is not set up correctly. I would suggest ypu open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>go down to the line on the lower right of the window that says "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)>click on the drop down arrows at the right end of that line, and click on the "Edit SMTP Server List..."> in the following two available windows make sure all the settings are correct as to Port, Password, Server Name, etc. as stated by your ISP.

Why is my outgoing server not working?

I have my laptop apple mail set up with a few accounts. Im able to get incoming mail but i cant send emails. It says the server is not working.
What can i do to fix this issue?

Hello anmlsrmnml,
Fortunately, Mail has a built-in tool called "Connection Doctor" that can give you further information about Mail's inability to send messages. This can be accessed from the Window menu -> Connection Doctor.
