Outlook 2011 (Mac) Default Search Folder

This question is for Outlook 2011 (Mac) Does anyone know how to change the default search folder from All Folders in the Contacts Search? I want to make the default folder my company's ldap directory. It works fine when you select it from the list,
but it would be a lot more convenient if it searched ldap by default. I've searched online and haven't seen an answer to this.
Thanks.

How to get Outlook 2011 Mac emails in Mac Mail Lion version

how do I get Outlook 2011 Mac eml files to Mac MAIL for lion?

I'm not aware of an easy convertor from Outlook 2011 to Mac mail, but if you have still have access to the e-mail account setup in Outlook, I'd just setup Apple Mail to download the mail from that account. Then Mail will pick them up next time you get mail.
However if you don't have access to that account any longer or it's POP3 account, that won't work.
In which case you need to drag each mailbox folder (In-Box, Sent, etc.etc.) whilst in Outlook to a folder on you Mac (Desktop is fine), then from Apple Mail, goto Import Mail Mailboxes, choose Files in mbox format and select all your .mbox files, these will then apear in a folder called Import.

Merge / Delete Duplicate Contacts in Outlook 2011 MAC

Hi,
I have too many duplicates contact in outlook 2011 MAC, is any can help how to remove/merge them.
Microsoft help not this section help.
Please help
Thanks

Hey
I'm Michael and I work for connex.io, an address book service.
To my knowledge, there is no option to do this in Outlook itself. Depending on the service you use, there might be a de-duplication feature available.
If you want, you can try connex.io. Our app can automatically de-duplicate, complete and clean your contacts for you and sync them with many devices (including Outlook). If you want to check it out: https://connex.io/tour-1-what-does-connexio-do or if you need more help you can mail me: [email protected]
Good luck!

I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone

I have an iMac with 10.9.1 and an iPhone 5 also updated to the newest system and I cannot get a sync set up between Ical and the iPhone or Outlook 2011 mac calendar with the iphone. I would perfer using outlook but will settle for the Imac calendar

It depends on what iMac you have. If it is an old PPC (G4 orG5) iMac then no further upgrades are possible. If it an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

Outlook 2011 Mac local subfolders are disappearing after "send and receive"

After working for long time without a issue, Outlook 2011 Mac (with all updates) start to show a strange habit:
Fresh from the start the application shows all local subfolders as usual.
After a send and receive of all mail suddenly all subfolders are disappearing.
I have to restart the application to regain access to the subfolders.
Tried a rebuild of the database and a safe boot with no luck. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks!

xdude29 did you ever get this problem sorted out. I am encountering the exact same problem and have to quit outlook and restart to find my folders again.

Configuring additional mailbox in Outlook 2011 (Mac)

After adding the additional mailbox in Outlook 2011 (for Mac), sent items are saved either in ‘Sent’ folder for the main mailbox (Sender Mailbox in OWA) or in ‘Sent’ folder for main and additional mailboxes (Sender and From mailboxes in OWA). Option ‘From
Mailbox’ in OWA functions the same way as ‘Sender and From mailboxes’. Is it possible to make sent items from additional mailbox save in ‘Sent’ folder for only additional mailbox. When using OWA works correctly. Used exchange server 2010 sp3

Hi,
We can’t make sent items from additional mailbox save in ‘Sent’ folder for only additional mailbox. By default, Exchange Server 2010 would copy messages to the Sent Items folder of the sender only.
Generally, we can use Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration cmdlet to set the configuration of the Sent Items folder to copy the message to the Sent Items folder of both the sender and the user on whose behalf the message was sent. There is no parameter value
for only save the sent items in additional mailbox Sent Items folder.
Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration Manager -SendAsItemsCopiedTo SenderAndFrom

Outlook 2011 MAC OAB contacts

Hey,
im using Outlook 2011 for Mac. I want to save all the contacts in the oab to my local contacts to sync them with my Iphone.
Is there a way to see and save every entry in the OAB? im able to search a single person in the OAB with my Outlook search but i cant see all entrys in the search.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, OAB files generated from Mailbox server (if you are using Exchange 2010), distributed to CAS server and downloaded to Outlook client which uses Exchange Cached mode.
Every 5:00 AM, by default, OAB generated, distributied and downloaded to local.
It seems impossible to sync contact on Outlook for MAC to iPhone.

Microsoft Outlook 2011 can't search emails

Since upgrading to Lion, I can't search emails in Microsoft Outlook 2011 (which I also had to upgrade to since Microsoft Office 2004 wasn't compatible with Lion). Is this a software conflict that can be resolved, or a more serious issue?

Outlook 2007 export issue to Outlook 2011 MAC

I am trying to import my email inbox from Windows Outlook 2007 to Mac Outlook 2011. When trying to create the PST file I get an error message "message interface has returned
an unknown error." So how do I remedy this so that I can export from PC to Mac?

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.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Lync 2011 (Mac) + Outlook 2011 (Mac) = High CPU Activity

Let's set the groundwork:
Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
 Lync 2011 14.0.4 (also seen with 14.0.2 and 14.0.3)
Outlook 2011 14.3.1
When Lync and Outlook are run concurrently Lync 2011 will, after a brief period of time, report extremely high CPU utilization (over 150% CPU on a Core i7 CPU). At the same time, Outlook 2011 will report high (40% and above) CPU usage. Threads used by Lync
2011 will go up to about 85 (from 24 when running by itself).
During this time Lync will remain responsive, but Outlook 2011 will be effectively unresponsive (command-Q will quit Outlook after a delay of 10-15 seconds). Inspecting the Lync or Outlook process via Activity Monitor will show abnormally large numbers of Mach
Messages, System Calls, and Context Switches.
Quitting either Lync or Outlook will return CPU utilization and other indicators to normal levels.
This behavior has been going on for several months. It's not a crashing issue, but it makes it impossible to run Lync and Outlook at the same time.
I've deleted and rebuilt ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/. I've done a clean re-install of Mac OS X on my Mac. I've confirmed that another user in my company is seeing the same behavior on their computer. I've also read the other threads here: this is not the
"I had 10K messages in my Deleted Items folder" error - I've long cleared that. My total Exchange Server storage is 610MB, with the largest single subfolder at 100MB (1,569 items). Inbox is typically between 75 and 300 items, with no subfolders.
No other processes report abnormal CPU usage during this time. This includes Microsoft Database Daemon and mdworker (Spotlight). I am using Activity Monitor to view All Processes, not simply My Processes.
This is not transitory. Once the high CPU utilization phase begins, it's been seen to go on for as long as 20 minutes (at which point I gave up and quit processes) - so it's not just a "spike" from an indexing process.
I had high hopes for the Lync 14.0.4 update, but the issue remains. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,
Looks like it is known issue for the Lync and outlook 2011 for mac. Hope the next update can fix it.

Migrate existing email from MS Outlook 2011 (mac) to Apple Mail?

Is there an easy (no cost) way to migrate my old mail (including folders) from MS Office Outlook 2011 to mac Mail?
Thanks...Scott

There are several ways to do it, the way I first thought of is to use an IMAP account and simply set up the account on both and move mail to that account.
An easy way to set up an IMAP account is to create a Gmail email address, then go into the mail settings in gmail and enable IMAP.
Once you've set up IMAP on the Gmail account, you can set up up on both Outlook and Apple Mail, and simply drag the mail you want into folders on the Gmail account, and they'll pop up on Apple Mail under the Gmail account.
You can then decide if you simply keep them on Gmail or if you delete them after moving them locally on Apple Mail.
I also found http://marcushesse.com/2010/exporting-mail-from-outlook-2010-mac-importing-eml-f iles-into-apple-mail/ which details a way of converting the stuff folder by folder over to eml files that can be used in Apple Mail.
I think the email converter application they link on there is very useful for your task.
At the end of all this conversion and moving files around, you should seriously consider setting yourself up with an IMAP account with whatever provider you end up sticking with, since that means you simply set up your email address in Apple Mail, or on the iPad, or iPhone, or PC and it simply has everything once it downloads it fresh, no need for any more migrations of this sort.

How to fix Outlook (2011) Mac/PC synchronization issues?

In our company we use Mac Outlook 2011 (newest version), PC Outlook 2013 (newest version) and Exchange server 8.3.379.2. The PC Outlook mail content is synchronized properly between my iPhone Exchange mail account and OWA (Outlook Web Access). The content
is synchronized in a few seconds without problems.
However, the sync between Mac Outlook 2011 and the rest of the Exchange mail content is not working for me. My colleague has almost identical gear and he doesn't suffer from the problem. We have no idea why.
When I delete a message in Windows-Outlook, then the message gets fairly quickly deleted in my OSX-Outlook. But if I delete a message in OSX-Outlook, the message may rarely get deleted in Windows-Outlook in 60 seconds, but usually it just doesn't sync. So
my Windows-Outlook has ~500 messages in my Inbox and OSX-Outlook Inbox has ~300 messages. I have already tried removing all subfolders in Inbox according to the "best practices" but that didn't have any effect. If I create a new identity in OSX (Microsoft
Database Utility), that temporarily fixes the sync. But as soon as I start deleting and moving messages in OSX Outlook, the changes just don't sync with the server, or the changes do not show in Windows Outlook for some other reason.
What can cause this behaviour?

Hi distill,
According to your description, I understand that Mac Outlook client cannot sync the content with Exchange server, however PC Outlook works fine.
If I have misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
This issue may be related to Mac client, please try to reset sync services and check if it helps:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2547327.
If it fails, please create new user profile for Mac and set up the email account, then check the result. More details about it, please refer to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2439218
Additional, I recommend you post your question in the Mac Outlook forum so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

Can anyone help, please!
Thanks,
