Outlook 2010 Problem selecting ISP for email default when sending receiving OK

I am using Outlook 2010 for email with an ISP. Recently installed Outlook 2013 on a new laptop using the same broadband wireless router connection. The email file is showing as my ISP  but in the Data files window although my ISP file appears I
cannot select it as the default it remains on the Data file with my ISP below it.
When I send an email it goes straight to the sent box but is undelivered.
I can receive email in the Inbox from other computers.
In the Email account details only my ISP appears with below it a statement that new messages will be delivered to the ISP account ending .pst
How can I make my ISP the default data file.
On my laptop Outlook 2013 has the default as my ISP account ending .ost
Help please

Hi,
Based on the description, you have a pst data file in Outlook 2010 and an ost data file in Outlook 2013, I think you are probably using an IMAP account?
Please note, in Outlook 2010, IMAP data files can't be set as default, because IMAP doesn't support the special folders - calendar, contacts, tasks. Outlook needs a default data file to store these information.
This has been changed in Outlook 2013, we can now set the IMAP data files as default.
If you have further questions, feel free to post back.

  • Outlook 2010 iCloud Add-In causes emails not to send

    I just started using iCloud to migrate my Outlook 2010 contacts and calendar to iCloud and then to my iPhone 5s.
    There's an intermittent problem (although I can now make it happen, so not so intermittent anymore) where my emails will not send unless I disable the iCloud Add-In.  They appear as Drafts (not italicized in my Outbox) and will not send until I disable the iCloud Add-In, and go back into them and click 'Send' again.
    Disabling my iCloud Add-In means that my Contacts and Calendar do not update to iCloud (and thus not to my phone either), so I have to be careful to remember to enable the iCloud Add-In immediately after getting my emails sent.
    Does anyone have this problem and/or a fix for it?

    Thanks all.
    Was checking to see if the issue Samorren has discovered in the following post might have been in play for you:
    iTunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook
    (Similar issues can hit iTunes and the iCloud machinery, because they both use files from Apple Application Support ... hence the quick check of your situation over here.)

  • Problem-iPhoto freezes for 30 secs when sending photos by email

    _Reproduction steps_
    1. select 2 or more photos
    2. send these photos by email to someone
    _Expected behaviour_
    As soon as I hit the Send button I should be able to continue using iPhoto immediately.
    _Actual behaviour_
    As soon as I hit the Send button I have to wait 30 secs or more for iPhoto to complete sending the email. I don't like wasting time (Grrr!!)
    Solution suggestion: iPhoto needs a fix so that it sends the email asynchronously.
    PS Not sure where to post feature requests (or defect reports) for iPhoto, so hope this will get noticed. (Forum, please let me know if I should be posting this elsewhere...)
    Thanks!

    It takes 13 seconds for me on my iMac. What's the configuration of your MBP? CPU, RAM, how much free space, etc.

  • Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?

    Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
    Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
    Thanks!

    Hi drlaura,
    You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
    If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • Limiting an email user's send/receive abilities

    We're running Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 on our mail server. Everything is running great.
    What I want to know is if it's possible to set up a special email account (like [email protected]) that can access webmail to communicate with specific @myschool.com addresses (and no others), but cannot talk to the outside world. But I need to make sure all other email accounts continue to work like regular old email accounts that can talk to anyone.
    For example, [email protected] can only send/receive messages to/from [email protected], the math teacher's email address. But [email protected] can send/receive messages to/from anyone. This would be very handy for us.

    Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
    You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
    Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
    noreply: /dev/null
    (you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
    When done, issue:
    sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
    sudo newaliases
    sudo postfix reload

  • After Migrating To Exchange 2013 All Outlook 2010 Users Constantly Prompted For Password (BUT OUTLOOK WORKS).

    I have two servers.  One is Exchange 2010 and the other is Exchange 2013.
    Three of our users had mailboxes on Exchange 2013 for the last few weeks with no problems.  They used Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2010.  After moving the rest of our ~25 users to Exchange 2013 the users with Outlook 2010 began to be prompted for their
    password constantly.
    They try entering it and it immediately reappears.  
    The odd thing is it shows connected and they are able to send and receive emails correctly.  
    I've tested our exchange connectivity using www.testexchangeconnectivity.com and all is well there.
    I'm not really sure what's going on.
    Any help is appreciated.  
    Luke
    Thanks, Luke Pickard

    This can appear if Outlook clients are trying to connect to OAB virtual directory, and don't succeed for some reason. Mailbox and mailflow will work, but password prompt will appear when Outlook tries to contact OAB. Try to investigate in that direction.
    Also, perform Outlook Configuration test (right click Outlook icon in task bar while holding CTRL and select Test email autoconfiguration.

  • Outlook 2010 ThumbnailPhoto not displayed for local contacts

    Hello,
    I'm running Exchange 2010 SP2 with Outlook 2010 clients.  We are running Lync 2010 and have been using the thumbnail photos for some time now.  However, we've found an issue with images showing consistently in Outlook 2010 and are hoping there
    is an easy fix for this.
    1. The user has a smartphone and decides to search the GAL for a user from the smartphone and then "add to contacts" from there.  This adds the contact to the users Outlook contacts WITHOUT the image.  From this point on the user won't see that
    contact's thumbnail photo in emails.
    2. Lync automatically adds "frequent contacts" into the users contact folder WITHOUT the thumpnail photo. From this point on the user won't see that contact's image in emails.
    3. A user who is working offline decides to copy a contact from the OAB to their local contacts.  From this point on the user won't see that contact's thumbnail photo in emails.
    The fix for this is to have the user delete the contacts without thumbnails from their contacts folder and then re-add them from the GAL while connected to AD (i.e. NOT from their smartphone).  This isn't a great solution and I'm hoping there is an
    easier way to manage this.
    Thanks for your help!
    --Shaun

    Hi  ,
    In fact, we upload pictures to Active Directory using the
    Import-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet. By default, thumbnailPhoto is included in the OAB as an Indicator attribute. This means the value of the attribute isn't copied to the OAB— instead, it simply
    indicates the client should get the value from Active Directory. If an Outlook client (including Outlook Anywhere clients connected to Exchange using HTTPS) can access Active Directory, the thumbnail will be downloaded and displayed. When offline, no thumbnail
    downloads.
    And please check the if lync client chosen Default corporate picture .

  • Outlook 2010 Problem opening shared mailbox "the set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available"

    Hi, I have a number of mailboxes configured for sharing.
    For those users who have full access rights (given via EMC) the mailboxes automatically appear in Outlook 2010.
    However for one of those mailboxes the users recieve the following error when they try to access it:
    "The Set of Folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance."
    Meanwhile the users' primary mailboxes continue to work as normal, as do the other mailboxes that have been shared with them.
    The output of get-mailboxpermissions for the problematic mailbox is the same as the output for a full working one.
    If I add the mailbox to my account (as though I was using Outlook 2003) it allows me access, however I then have the situation of having the mailbox listed twice, one working the other not.
    How do I get this mailbox to behave as expected?
    Many thanks
    Nick

    So the problem returns. I'm not sure what we did to work around it, the users who were having the problem have left and the new batch are now encountering it.
    I have issued the following command on the Exchange Server (one site, one server, all roles, only a default throttling policy exists):
    $a = Get-ThrottlingPolicy | where-object {$_.IsDefault -eq $true}
    $a | Set-ThrottlingPolicy -RCAMaxConcurrency 40

    the above is used.
    When I create a second profile via Mail (in control panel) for the shared mailbox and then start outlook using this profile I am able to access the mailbox as expected. This is running in the context of the user who cannot access it from her
    default Outlook profile.
    Many thanks

  • Outlook 2010 Instant Search STILL Missing Emails

    This has been an ongoing problem and has our (quite large) IT group stumped. After extensive internet research, I found only one instance in the MS Tech Forum where someone had the same issue and it was never resolved (submitted June 18, 2010 by manwithnoname).
    The MS Outlook 2010 running on our company Exchange will miss emails when performing an instant search. Even emails sitting in the window with clearly displayed matching search criteria.  It doesn't seem to matter if the email(s) are new, old, or inbetween
    nor current folder or in another.  My IT has extensively run through all the fixes including rebuilding indexes, reinstalling Outlook, creating a fresh pst file, including all the fixes suggested in "manwithnoname"'s suggested fixes, all to
    no help. My IT group has passed this problem throughout the group till it stumped even the most experienced person, who finally just pronounced it, "Another MS bug."
    I have found others on the 'net have had similar results but never successful solutions.
    WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!? It means I can't trust any of my search efforts and is causing frustrating drains on productivity.
    I suspect that there are many Outlook users that are ignorant of this issue occurring and may be causing errors in work tasks. If Microsoft cannot provide a working solution, who can?!?!  Please help!

    I appreciate the response and the reference articles. I will look at them.
    I understand about the partial strings as I need to use wildcards if I suspect it's not catching emails I know are available.  I am using typical search strings that usually work without problems. e.g. search for JY01 (which is part of a document number)
    yields search results with no problem. Search for M000, no dice even though I know and can sometimes see the emails with M000 in the subject line.  The difference between "0" and "O" is not causing an issue.
    One aspect of the problem I've witnessed is it will find some emails with the search criteria but not all.  This makes the search unreliable and untrustworthy.  It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using instant search or advanced search.
    If anyone else has experienced this, please reply and share your experience.
    MICROSOFT Techs, please respond!!!
