Outlook mail folder but item shows as contacts?

Hi All
I recently moved a mail folder from my personal folder to exchange server. The folder shows Mail and Post item, but all the emails in that folders show up as contacts.
Any idea what happened and how to fix it?
Thanks

Hi,
Which version of Outlook are you using?
Could you please share a screenshot on this issue so that we can understand the issue more clearly?
If we double-click one item in the mail folder, does it open as a contact or an email message?
In addition, if all columns on the Folder list pane are removed except for the
From column, it may just looks like contacts. To verify this, we can highlight the folder and then click
View tab > View Settings (in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013). Click
Columns button to verify if other columns are removed. If this is the case, we may click the
Reset Current View button under View tab >
View Settings to reset the folder view to its default view to see the result.
If I've misunderstood something, please let me know and provide more information on this.
Regards,
Steve Fan

If I ..., will my Outlook mail folder structure be replicated?

I've been using Netscape and Thunderbird for years now. Unfortunately, iTunes does not support syncing email with these clients. It looks like I can buy a third party program to migrate my Mozilla mail to Outlook; but, I want to make sure iPhone will handle email as I hope before I go to all the trouble.
If I make this migration, will my Outlook mail folder hierarchy be synced with the iPhone so that email filed on my iPhone will get filed on my pc?
I'd rather not be handling the same email twice. It looks like if I delete it on the phone, it will get deleted on my ISP's sever (AT&T) and that the email will then be unavailable for downloading onto my PC. In reality, despite having "keep messages on server until I delete them" checked on both my iPhone and my PC, this does not appear to be the case (although, I may not be allowing sufficient time during my test for the deletion to make its way back to the server).
Thanks!

Under normal conditions your should get all mails in your inbox the first time you POP your account. After that point, you should only receive the new one. However, it may depend on serverside settings to control this behaviour (some providers allow to change this setting).
Make sure to not delete the mails on the server (check for proper options in account setup in Mail.app), if you plan on using the webfrontend or an other device in addition to your Mac. Otherwise you will see the mails on your Mac only.
You will not get the mails stored in your "Sent & Drafts"-folder on default POP-server-installations. However, there may be provider-depended options to enable this. I actually do not know if Yahoo offers this. Maybe you should contact Yahoo support to clarify.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Is there a way to get an apple mail folder exported to outlook mail folder structure? I'm using Gmail on my IMAC and have a PC for work. Want to share folder structure between systems.

Use following steps to import apple mail to outlook:
Choose Mailbox->Export Mailbox, or choose Export Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the exported mailbox.
Outlook for Mac: Choose File->Import Mailboxes. Select the mail application you want to import messages from.
If it does not work then you should use third party apple mail to pst applications. You can easily search in Google about these applications.

How to rename an Outlook mail folder with Automator.

Hello,
I would like to use a Service from Automator to rename a mail folder in Outlook. The folder names are "<first name> <last name>". And they need to be renamed as "<last name>, <first name>". E.g. "John Doe" becomes "Doe, John".
In Outlook that would be:
Right click on the folder name.
From the drop down menu, select "Rename".
Jump to the end of the folder name [option] [right arrow].
Select the last name: [shift] [option] [left arrow].
Cut the name: [command] [x].
Delete the space: [delete].
Go to the beginning of the name: [option] [left].
Insert the last name: [command] [v]
Insert a comma and a space: [,] [space].
Finish the rename: [return].
In Automator:
Create a new Service.
Insert "Get Selected Outlook Items".
Record the steps above.
Click Run.
The results of thelast step is: "Watch Me Do failed - 1 error. Application Outlook is not running when it is expected to".
Outlook is running and a folder is selected.
Anybody any idea what I do wrong?
Thanks!
Zojnk.

Go to Setup > Email Accounts > Internet Mail Accounts > enter the user name and password (if required). Now highlight the email ID that your want to edit and select Edit from Menu. Change the text under Email Account Name as desired by you. Then click Menu and select Save.

Upgrade to Lion and lost Mail folder but app still works?

have upgraded to Lion but have lost my MAIL folder, have checked the new place of course but nothing there
also missing the com.apple.mail.plist as well ?
any suggestions on how to get these back as Mail is still running but playing at all sorts of weird games
thank you,
Gordie

Why do you say you have lost the Mail folder? Is that because you are unable to find the Library folder that it resides in? If so, that folder is now invisible. Hold down option and click the Go menu in the Finder, then choose the Library item that appears there.

Junk Mail folder refusing to show messages from a particular account

So, I have a weird problem with Leopard Mail (3.2) - when I click on the junk mail folder, 99% of the time it won't show messages from my Yahoo POP account. The only way I can get messages from this account to show is by expanding the junk mail folder, clicking on a different sub-account, then clicking on my Yahoo account. This will show the messages in its junk folder, and if I click on the combined junk folder they will show up inside it. This will work until I click away from junk - say, to my inbox - at which point the procedure will need to be repeated if I wish to see my Yahoo junk mail.
I've only noticed it very recently, but I'm not sure how long it's been going on. Unbelievably annoying. I deleted the junk folder, no luck. I toggled the account off/on - this seemed to work for a day, but the behaviour's back and I can't make this work again. I rebuilt the mailbox... Even deleted and added the account again, but it still did the same thing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a bug in Leopard Mail? Something specifically with POP accounts, perhaps? (My 5 IMAP accounts seem fine). If anyone has any further suggestions I'd be really, really grateful.

Ok, so, something in way of an update: Normal behaviour appears to be restored after Mail detects a piece of junk mail and puts it in the junk folder for this account (manual marking of junk doesn't do the trick). Then it works ok until I quit Mail.

Mail going to the Junk Mail folder but not marked as Junk Mail

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me. It's something I had done but I don't know what I have done. All of a sudden all my emails from eBay are going directly to my Junk Mail folder, although when I try to click them as 'Not Junk' (Thumbs Up) they are not even selected as Junk Mail and I can still select them to be Junk Mail.
At the moment I'm just dragging them back into the correct folder but it still keeps happening. (I sell a lot on eBay so it's happening quite often).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Mail works but not calender or contacts...

well lets tart this off by saying that this is the best device i have ever purchased in my life. it does basically whatever i want at amazing speed and reliability. i absolutely love it and apple has done a marvelous job. now for my problem - my mail has been working fine since i first synced the phone but my calenders and contacts won't sync unless i manually do it while it is connected to my mac. i have unchecked "manual" in all the settings. i have tried changing things on iphone and on mac to see if they would change on the opposite and nothing, can someone help me.

well its only been 3 days since i posted this, thanx for the help guys i figured it out on my own...

I currently have 883 contacts in the ICloud but when i setup my Icloud account in Outlook 2007 it does not show any contacts folder.

The email works in the IMAP account but no contacts to be found in the standard folders or IMAP.
Additionally, it looks like the export function in the ICloud is broken. When I select all contacts, they all get highlighted but when I export the file, the file is named something like "name of my first contact plus 883 more) but all I really get is the first contact.
Is there something i'm missing?
how do i get to see my ICloud contacts in Outlook?

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Outlook 2013 set as default mail client but still shows error box saying it isn't?

We have recently installed Office 2013 64-bit on 4 servers. We previously used Outlook 2007 64-bit.
We set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client and do not have another mail client installed on the servers. However when you first login you get an error message box that says you have no default mail client 'either there is no default mail client or the
current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request'.
I have checked all defaults to be for Outlook 2013.
How can I solve this issue? I am an administrator.

Try different Method to set Outlook 2013 as the default mail client to check the result. Thanks.
Method 1:Set as default within outlook.
-File > Options > General Tab > select the "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar"
check box.
Method 2: Set as default from the internet explorer.
-Tool > Internet Options > Programs Tab > Set programs
Method 3: Set as default from control panel.
1.Navigate to Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
2.Click on the outlook icon on the left hand side.
3.Set as default.
We may also try to create anther windows user profile in the same machine to check if the issue still persists. Thanks.

New Mail in GMAIL shows up in the ALL Mail folder but NOT in the Inbox

Recently my iPhone 3G began looking at my gmail account and was not pulling the mail down. So I had to go web based to see if there was anything in my mailbox. I don't know if the problem is that I have this same account with the mail app on my mac and I may check it on the web, iphone or on my computer and it's possibly confusing the system. Very frustrating because I have to check my mail twice, in different places, just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Hopefully this was clear and thanks for any help

DId you try, settings, notifications?
under your gmail or whatever mail you have you can choose to fetch every 15 minutes, hour, or manually. Sounds like you are on manually, when you open your email.
MAnually does save battery though.

HT4191 what if the notes option in Outlook mail doesn't even show up?

i'm connecting to Exchange via port 443 on an iPhone 5 ios 6.0.2
i only have the option to sync Mail, Calendar, contacts, and Tasks, but notes option is missing
i have nothing in my iphone notes, but lots of items in my outlook notes.
things i've tried:
removing all notes and creating 1 new note in outlook

You should check with whomever is running your Exchange serve that the option to sync Outlook notes is enabled. If so, you should have the option to sync your notes. If you don't try, removing and re-adding the Exchange account.

In Outlook, only 1 RSS item shows up, from Sharepoint.

Ok, I have not been able to find this one. We have recently enabled RSS feeds on Sharepoint. If we add the feed to outlook, it only displayes the FIRST item. when you first subscribe, it looks like it goes through EVERY post, but only displays the first one, it does not grab the other ones. It is a really weird error. I am hoping that someone has an idea on how to fix this. Thanks!

If you are using RSS make sure the link and the guid are unique urls. If they are unique for the specific feed item they will show up.
Template example of a feed that will work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">

After Mavericks upgrade, Mail.app doesn't show messages in Sent Items

I upgraded to Mavericks this morning and Mail.app is not displaying messages in the Sent folder.
I have 2 Gmail accounts set up and the messages are present in the All Mail folder but they're not displayed in Sent. They were definitely there before the upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this happen ? I have TM backups that I can get to but I tried restoring the folder for the account with little success.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
