Send/Receive problem in Outlook for Mac 2011

Ever since I installed Lion and iCloud my Outlook for Mac application will not receive mail unless I manully click the Send/Receive button. I have checked the schedule button under Preferences.
Prior to the installation of Lion and iCloud I received mail automatically.
ANy ideas for settings?

Hi. I had same problem. All you need is to change outgoing and incoming servrrs. I had smtp.me.com and mail.me.com instead of smtp.mail.me.com and imap.mail.me.com, as described here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
It was working up to yesterday. You may need just change servers names in account options in outlook. Be ready to full message database rebuilding

Problems with Outlook for Mac 2011 after installing Lion

I've installed Lion yesterday and found that all my mail folders, contacts and claendar entries have dissapeared from Outlook for Mac 2011. I have also found out that I have lost iSync as well. I need to get all my data from Outlook 2011. How do I do this?

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the reply mate, I really appreciate you taking the time out to post a reply.
I didn't do a back-up of my data prior to installing Lion. I hadn't thought that I would have this issue with installing a Mac product onto a Mac lap top. So unless there is another option, I can't take your advice.
Thanks anyway,
Scott

Unable to send or receive email in Outlook for Mac 2011

I've tried switching ports, Comcast ports via their forums...I have three accounts, mac, comcast and earthlink. Nothing's working right. Can you help>?

Maybe your firewall is blocking the ports
I would troubleshoot by making a hotmail or gmail account and connect to to see if that works

Create a "Do Not Send" List for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

Hello,
I've been having a problem creating a "do not send" list for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011. Essentially, I am sending out bulk emails and when people want to unsubscribe I have no means to create a list so that no email is ever sent to them again. Because of the number of emails going out, it would simply take to long to search each excel sheet of emails I have and purge the unsubscribers.
Is there any way to create a list of emails that outlook will not send to, even if the names or in the excel sheet?
If it helps, I am using a Microsoft Word document as the basis for my form letter emails, which then pulls the email contacts (hundreds of them) from an excel sheet, which then sends them to my outbox in Outlook.
Thank you,
Frank

Problem with Signature tab drop down in Outlook for Mac 2011

I am setting up Outlook 2011 on my mac and have run across a problem with the signatures that I have been unable to resolve.
I have set up 2 signatures for my two different pop accounts and thought that if I defaulted them to their appropriate account they would automatically be seen in email when I had chosen the corresponding email account. I then discovered that it was not
possible to do this in Outlook 2011 for Mac.
So I selected NONE as the defaults for my two signatures, and thought I would be able to manually add the appropriate signature to each email as I compose or reply. BUT NO!!!! THE PROBLEM LIES BELOW:
The 2 signatures that I set up are visible in the drop down menu from the signature tab in an email, however they are greyed out and cannot be selected. I have attempted selecting one of these signatures as the default, and whichever one
I select dutifully appears when I compose a new email, but when I click on the drop down to change the signature, both are still greyed out.
So effectively, I only have the option of one signature or none, despite being able to set up multiple signatures in my profile.
Does anyone know why this is occurring and what the solution is?
Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
Please remove the Signature and re-add it back to check whether the issue persists. We can follow the articles below to create signature in Outlook 2011 for Mac:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/mac-outlook-help/add-a-signature-automatically-to-every-message-HA102928243.aspx
If the new created Signature is still greyed out in your Outlook, please restart the Outlook client in safe mode to confirm if the issue is caused by any third-party add-ins.
If the issue persists in Outlook safe mode, I suggest you ask a question in Outlook for Mac forum for further troubleshooting:

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.

Outlook for Mac 2011 Fails to Startup?

Running MBPR 13" with OSX ML 10.8.3 and Office for Mac 2011 14.3.2
I do not often restart my MBP, so after a couple of weeks of trouble free operation I updated OSX and allowed the ritual restart. Upon completion, Outlook for Mac failed to restart. In the interevening period I had installed various pieces of SW including Citrix (Receiver and GTM), 4G telco utilities and Skype. In trying to troubleshoot potential background competing processes, I followed the steps outlined below including an uninstall of all apps listed above:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398596
I've had no success yet and wonder if anyone has any suggestions about known problems with Outlook for Mac competing or conflicting with other APps or Aple background processes?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Sla

Thanks, I found this amongst the various entries in the link you provided:
http://roaringapps.com/app:315#post-1356
The post from "Edil" was what fixed the problem, as follows:
"What did work for me is rebuilding my Office identity using the Microsoft Database Utility (found in Applications->Microsoft Office 2011->Office folder). It will create a backup of the existing Main Identity and rebuilds it and becomes your new Main Identity. Haven't encountered the problem so far since then."
Not sure of root cause, but it's fixed so I shall disappear (for now)...
Cheers, Sla

How to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011 (ical)

Hey All
Problem:
Want to view my family share calendar in outlook for mac 2011.
Want to have them sync on the fly (push)
Currently running 2 exchange mailboxes which have their own mailboxes and calendars which you can toggle between.
For the PC this is a relatively straight forward task.. You can add an additional calendar to outlook and you are away. Wife's PC can view her own personal exchange calendar and on a separate tab she can view, edit, print etc the family share calendar.
For outlook for Mac, I've tried a few work arounds and none of them actually work, all the Apple documentation available doesn't really cover this.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

Hi,
According to your description, I notice that Outlook for Mac for Office 365 cannot open shared calendar.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Which account are you used, Exchange account or Microsoft account?
Would you please login OWA and test to open this shared calendar?
Outlook for Mac cannot open the shared calendar which is a sub-calendar, you have to ask calendar owner share all calendars under the default "Calendar" folder.
More details about it, for your reference:

Acrobat X v10.0 - cannot Submit Form in Outlook for Mac 2011

I created a form in Acrobat X v10. When submitting the form in Windows, it opens the Select Email Client window, user can select Desktop Email Application, click OK and the completed form is sent via Outlook. When I try to do the same on a Mac, it goes through the process, but doesn't send. It looks like it will, but when I go to the Sent Items, it's not there and doesn't send.
I suspect it's something to do with Outlook for Mac 2011, but does anyone know of a workaround other than saving the file to the computer and sending the old fashioned way? I really would prefer users not saving the file.
Thanks in advance!

Hi oc_jane,
Is Outlook 2011 your default mail application?
What version of Mac OS are you running?
If you click the following email address, [email protected] does it launch a new blank email in Office 2011 w/ that email address in the 'To:' line?
Thanks,
David

I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed that my MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with the calendar/contacts/notes, thus, also not sync these info with my iPhone4s anymore. Please help, thank you.

Dear Sirs,
I had just upgraded my OS to the OS X Mavericks. After doing so, I noticed the following changes:
1) My MS Outlook for Mac 2011 does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes.
2) My iPhone4s does not sync with my Mac book's calendar/contacts/notes anymore.
Please help, thank you.

Correct, USB local sync was taken away from iphones and ipads with 10.9.1 and 2. We are not allowed to speculate on rumours it might come back in 10.9.3 plus new iTunes. Either wait and see or explore Syncmate 5 beta free trial.
icloud still works.

Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.

Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

Outlook for Mac 2011

I just migrated one macbook Pro to another both using OS X 10.8.5. When I try to open Outlook I get an error message that says "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Outlook".
It worked and still works fine in the original machine and Word & Excel work fine in the new machine, but not outlook. I tried removing Outlook for Mac 2011 and reinstalling but I get the same error message.
Any ideas out there?

Or better yet, start using mac mail. I went back and forth between the two for year, and without getting into specifics or details I went back to mac mail and never looked back. Simple and does everything it supposed. Mac version outlook got stripped of a lot of functionalities that the pc version includes. With rare fixes, updates, and frequent problems between lost mail, corrupt identity files and mail which hangs up during the sent process just shows you that they half as*ed the mac version of outlook. Save your frustration and switch.

Outlook acts as if I am pressing a dummy button.

Hi friends,
I have the same problem.
Mountain Lion + Office 2011 + Safari 6.1.2 (8537.74.9)
It is not clear to me what is the relation between Safari and this problem.
I have Chrome installed as well and it is set as default browser. Is this involved?
If yes how can I solve the problem?
Please let me know.
Many thanks.

How can i sync mac address book w/ outlook for mac 2011

Is it possible to have the address book in Outlook for Mac 2011 sync w/ the Mac address book? I cleaned up my contacts in the Mac address book expecting the changes to show up in my outlook address book. Made over 200 changes that did not show up on the Outlook address book. Seems like there should be a way to make this work. If I add contacts from within Outlook, I'd like them to show up on all my devices. MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to this platform as I was a PC guy for the last 30 years.

I've got Outlook up and running just fine. Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update. Apparently that has been an ongoing issue. I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that. I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook. Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync. Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while.
