Outlook locks up when I select an email with an invite

I am running Microsoft Outlook 2011 (14.4.6) on a new Mac Pro with OS X Yosemite (10.10.1).
A few days ago I received an email with an invitation (from a trusted source). Whenever I click on that email in Outlook's mail preview pane Outlook locks up. I don't get a lot of emails with invites, but I know I have in the past without any problem. This behavior may have started after the most recent OS update. When Outlook locks up, no other programs are affected. I can do a force quite and restart Outlook and everything behaves fine unless I click on that email. I would love to just delete it, but I can't get to it to delete it without locking up Outlook.
Tried repairing the Outlook database, but that did not help.
I have seen some references to this behavior on other forums, but no suggestions on what to do about it.
Any thoughts?

I have found a partial solution to emails with invites locking up Outlook. If I do a Spotlight search in the finder for content in the problematic email I can find the file representing that email and delete it in the finder. As soon as you delete the email (or make any other sort of change to the Outlook database outside of the program interface) it is important to then Rebuild the Outlook database. Hold the option key while starting up Outlook and it will give you the option to Rebuild. If you don't do this Outlook will give you an error when it starts up, but that will be resolved once you Rebuild the database.
I still don't know why the email with the invite causes the program to lock up and how to prevent that.
Anyone else having similar issues and find any resolutions?

  • My iPhone 4S locks up when I select a link to go to a website from emails

    My iPhone 4S locks up when I select a link to go to a website from emails
    It's not all the time but most of the time.
    I receive an email from a store, click on the link to their site and mail then freezes. I cannot do anything with mail until I turn the phone off and back on and then it 'might' work,
    Does anyone else have this problem or know what can be done?
    Every update I hope it will resolve it!

    Here was my resolution:
    Double tab the home button, all the apps that are running will appear at the bottom.  Put your finger on an app to 'shake' it.  then hit the red x to remove all running apps.  My lock up issue no longer happens.

    Connect your phone, select it in the Sidebar...the various tabs will now show as before.

    I'm having the same issue, and as far as I can tell, it's been happening since I downloaded the update that fixed battery issues, etc. I'm on hold with customer support, and will update here once done.

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • I have yahoo mail, since your newest upgrade, when I open an email with a picture in it. The picture does not display

    I have windows7/8 and use att.yahoo mail. when I receive an email with a picture in the body, the picture does not display, this started happening after fire fox latest upgrade

    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • When i get an email with an attachment file it always get saved. Is there a way to not automatically save the attachment?

    When I get an email with a file attachment it is automatically saved to the hard drive. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

    To change that setting go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Advanced" box over in the upper right side of the window>in the line below that that says "Keep Copies of Messages for Offline Viewing:",click on the drop down arrows at the right end of that box just below it and select the phrase "All Messages, but Not Attachments".  It looks like this:

  • HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome

    HP LASERJET CP1525nw print error when printing online Gmail emails with Google Chrome. Extra large font sizes and weird formatting issues only when printing emails from Gmail within Chrome. No problems when printing the same email from Gmail+Internet Exolorer or Thunderbird. Using the IE Tab extension in Chrome prints the email correctly but the style of Gmail's message window is completely weird ie: formatting bar is spread out vertically instead of horizontally. I believe it is clear that this is an application specific issue between the HP LASERJET CP1525nw printer and Google Chrome + Gmail. This printing scenario does not occur when printing anything else or when printing via another printer. I would appreciate receiving any suggestions to solve this issue.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    Browser: Google Chrome 15
    HP Print driver: HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 v5.4.0
    Printer is connected by WiFi to 4 computers

    Hi AbZu, 
    You need to contact Google Chromes technical support as this is only an issue with Chrome. You have indicated that the printer functions correctly everywhere else. Check out the link below for Google Chrome technical support. Let me know if you need additional assistance?

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • When i send an email with greek characters in the body, the recipient receive it in an unreadable form.

    When i send an email with greek characters in the body, many recipients (not all) cannot read it.
    At the same time when i use the internet mail it can be read successfully by the recipient.
    I have already checked the encoding settings in the Fonts in order to be "unicode (UTF-8)".
    What else can i check?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are some language add ons that support emails from other languages that you can check out: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/extensions/language-support/?sort=popular]
    The recipient, if they also use thunderbird may need to have a language pack to read the email: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/language-tools/]
    You may also need to have them check their interpreter to make sure the email is being received in the same format it is being sent.

  • Problems when I resend an email with attachments

    I am using Mail 7,0 with Mavericks.
    I am having problems resending emails. If I resend any email wihout any attached file, the receiver does not have any problem and and he gets the body text and all the chained mails in the proper order and format. However, when I resend an email with one or more attached files, then I am having a lot of problems because the receiver everything scrambled!!, the body text is received as an attachment and all the images or logos included in my signautre are also received as an attachment.
    I did not have this problem in the past. I have bee exploring Mail Preferences and have tried several different things, but I have been able of solving this disgussting problem.
    I would thank very much if someone has had the same problem and can help me to solve the problem.
    Thank you!!!
