Outlook for Mac and conflict with Mail

Hi
I have a mac Pro, have upgraded to Lion and have Outlook for Mac as my default email system. When I choose a file in Finder and go to email it the MAIL system kicks in and takes over. As I have set Outlook as the default nothing happens. Can anyone help please?

The "New Email with Attachment" option in the services menu is an applescript that is configured to point to Apple Mail and does not allow you to change it to Outlook.
As was suggested in other discussion links, you should try dragging the file directly onto the Outlook icon on your dock and it should create a new message with attachment for you:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3046634?start=0&tstart=0
The only hack that I could find for you was an article showing how to create a service to attach files to outlook.  See this article: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/
Please realise this is a hack and not something that is supposed to work out of the box.

  • Outlook for Mac and Exchange Server 2010

    I am a customer of Office 365 and I am using it on my Mac. Unfortunately Outlook for Mac (version 15.6 150113) is not able to connect to my Exchange account. Tried to reinstall it many times and also reinstalled from zero the Yosemite OS X, but no way. I
    try to make the automatic connection and it doesn't work, so I manually insert the server address but unfortunately it doesn't happen anything and the bullet on the left signs a yellow color indicating that it is not connected. I use the same information that
    I use in the native "Mail" application where it works perfectly. I tried also other applications like foxmail and airmail 2, and using the same server and id they all work perfectly. Also Lynch is working great. Can somebody help me to solve this
    "outlook for Mac and Exchange" problem?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Sylvain, Thank you for the attention. Hereafter the result of the test and sorry if it is in italian since my account is italian. I forgot to say that my exchange account is my Company's exchange server while office 365 is my personal account.

  • How do I get newly installed Outlook for Mac to synchronise with iMail.

    How do I get newly installed Outlook for Mac to synchronise with iMail?

    Make sure they are connected to server accounts.   Create folders on the server account you can use to copy back and forth between the two.  Use the flag messages feature to ensure that only the messages you need to copy are copied.  IMAP accounts allow for servers with server folders, and local folders.   I don't know much about Exchange.

  • How can I synchronize my Outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with iCloud?

    Don't works synchronize my outlook for mac 2011 contacts with iCloud. Someone can help me please?

    Outlook 2011 for Mac is not compatible with iCloud Contacts &amp; Calendars because Microsoft do not support the industry standard CardDAV and CalDAV protocols that iCloud uses.

  • How to sync Outlook for Mac 2011 calender with iCal

    I am currently running IOS 10.6.8.
    I use Outlook for Mac 2011 and I have been having problems syncing my appointments with iCal.
    I have outlook set up correctly in the preferences to sync all calendars but this does not appear to happen.

    Here's some screen grabs of the settings I use. I do not use the online iCal calendar. My iphone is synced to outlook and the local ical calendar hosted on my laptop.
    I can enter and receive/accept appointments using any of these three calendars and they all update and sync.
    The calendar called "No category" is my outlook calendar.
    If I enter any appointments they have to be entered on the calendar called "work" on my laptop and phone – otherwise outlook does not pick them up.
    As demichae said in his post above "Outlook doesn't see the stuff in iCal" – at least the online iCal stuff.
    It's not very straightforward.
    Hope this helps.

  • Contact card format incompatibility between Outlook for Mac and Mac contacts

    Seems that Mac Office 2011 Outlook contacts no longer directly sync with iPhone, I use a manual process of dragging the vcf file from my Outlook contacts list to a desktop folder and then dragging the contact from that folder to my Mac Contacts file. Even though Mac contacts file accepts the file, sometimes information is missing and the contact data won't go to the icloud and thence post to my iPhone. It's as if the .vcf format from Outlook isn't a match for the .vcf file format that Mac Contacts expects. Many times I have to manually copy the contact data from the outlook contact into a new contact file in Mac Contacts to get that contact to sync across iCloud to my iPhone. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

    Hello,
    Open both in Text Wrangler, 2nd line should show version, are they the same?
    What are the differences beyond there?
    Do some Outlook entries have some separators in the entry, like : or ; that may be throwing off the fields?

  • Setup wireless network for mac and pc with Airport Express?

    Mac Mini/OSX/10.8.2/Airport Express
    Question,
    I have my AIrPort Express setup for my Mac Mini and I have dell computer that I want to share the wireless network. Is it possible to setup a wireless network with my mini and the pc using only the AirPort Express? Is the Airport Express a wireless router?
    Thanks,

    If your Mac Mini is connecting to the Express using wireless, then this confirms that the device is working correctly. 
    The Express is a wireless router that can support up to 10 wireless connections, so your Dell computer should be able to connect assuming that its wireless card is working correctly, and the Dell indentifies the network and enters the correct wireless network password.
    If you are having difficulty with the Dell PC connecting, this Windows troubleshooting document might help:

  • 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).

  • Keeping Gmail email addresss and using Outlook 2011 for Mac and Exchange

    Hi,
    we use gmail for email at present with Outlook on a Mac. Having found that contacts and calendars cannot be synched between Oulook for Mac and Gmail I want to use exchange as a means of getting this sync working between my iPhne, iPad and OSX calendar and
    contacts.
    We actually want to continue with our gmail addresses (because it's too painful to change to anything else). I understand that gmail can forward messages to Exchange and presumably to be read in Outlook for Mac. How do we use Outlook for Mac and Exchange
    to send emails such that they are sent using our gmail email address.
    I.e people are not aware of what is going on in the background - they sent to our gmail address and receive a reply from the gmail address
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Good luck with that.
    You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system.  Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.

  • How do i sync Outlook for Mac contacts with apples address book ???

    How do I sync outlook for Mac 2011 contacts with Address book.  I updated the itunes or apple updates and it erased my contacts from the address book.  I did have is set up where the they automaticaly updated back and forth but now I can not find how to check this.  Bottom line I want my contacts back to address book. ??????? anyone.

    Outlook for Mac doesn't support contact (or calendar) syncing with iCloud because Microsoft  chose not to include the CardDAV (and CalDAV) protocals that are required (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915).  You'll have to use the OS X Address Book (Contacts) app to sync with iCloud.

  • Syncing contact photos between Outlook 2011 for Mac and the rest

    Hello, I installed Office for Mac 2011 and when it synced the contacts (through Exchange), most of the contact photos now no longer show in OWA or in Outlook 2013 from my Windows PC's. They are not lost: In Outlook 2013 (for windows) they appear instead
    under "Notes", in the form of a thumbnail jpeg. On my Mac, however, the photos show up correctly. None of my windows accounts (e.g., windows phone) now show any photos any longer. I tried some troubleshooting: I deleted all my contacts from everything,
    and imported them back to Outlook for Mac and synced them, but the photos still show only under "notes" in the Windows accounts.
    How can I solve the issue? I see the same problem reported by other people, but I am not aware of a resolution.

  • How to view Outlook for Mac .olm file?

    I am getting rid of MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.3) where I used Outlook for Mac.
    I exported mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes into an .olm file.
    How can I view this .olm file on my new Mac Air (OS X 10.9.3) where I have no Widows applications?
    I am not keen on importing this .olm data into for instance Apple Mail. I just want to be able to view/search the file for contacts or emails.

    Hello
    I don't have Outlook 2011 but only guess here.
    Generally speaking, AppleScript's "whose" filter is very limited and does not support list containment test. So perhaps you'd have to resort to something like the following script, which actually scans the events for test.
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
        my events_with_categories({category "Conference"})
    end tell
    on events_with_categories(cats)
            list cats : list of categories to be matched
            return list : list of calendar events whose categories contain every item of cats
        script o
            property ee : {}
            property cc : {}
            tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
                set ee to calendar events
                repeat with e in my ee
                    set e to e's contents
                    set cc to e's categories
                    set _match to true
                    repeat with c in cats
                        set c to c's contents
                        if c is not in my cc then
                            set _match to false
                            exit repeat
                        end if
                    end repeat
                    if _match then set end of my ee to e
                end repeat
                return my ee's contents
            end tell
        end script
        tell o to run
    end events_with_categories
    Notes.
    * Script is not tested.
    * IF this works but is too slow, we may try to speed it up by retrieving categories of events (list of lists) in one statement, by which we can dramatically reduce the total number of Apple Events to send.
    Good luck,
    H
