Setting up icloud in outlook for mac 2011

I have tried to set up my iCloud email account in Outlook for Mac 2011. Incoming works fine. Outgoing doesn't. I have trawled over the support pages for the correct outgoing server info but on using the settings I am no further on. I did see a post by someone who had found the same problem and copied the settings that Mail uses which seems to be different for incoming than Apples recommendations. (but thats not a problem for me!) and unfortunately the outgoing in the Mail settings for my iCloud account simply shows "iCloud" so I am none the wiser!
Can anyone help? Incidentally my icloud account for email works fine on my iPhone and iPad.
thanks
Mikul

Also the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915 to guide set up does not tell you if it is IMAP, POP...etc
Can anyone help on this please?
Please note that Microsofts instructions (in the link you posted) are incorrect, it will never work if you follow those directions.

  • ICloud working with Outlook for Mac 2011

    For work purposes I use a Mac Air, with Outlook for Mac 2011, and my company's email runs on an Outlook server.  I'm not going to have any choice about using Outlook.
    I've set up my home calendar (on iMac) and want to use iCloud to synchronise between my various devices.
    My iPhone can show both my work calendar and my home calendar. But on the Mac where i am running Outlook for Mac i dont seem to be able to add the second calendar.
    Looking at older discussions (2011, 2012) it seems there were ways to use iCloud and synchronise with Outlook on a Windows machine, but not on a Mac using Outlook.  Is that still the case or is there a way I can now do this? 

    Microsoft have still not updated Outlook for Mac to support the cross-platform, industry-standard calendar and contact protocols iCloud (and many other similar services) use.
    You won't be able to use iCloud with Outlook for Mac, except for email.
    Read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    There's nothing to stop you using the Apple calendar and contact apps for your personal iCloud data, and Outlook for your work data though. Or you could just setup your work accounts in the Apple apps, which do support Microsoft Exchange.

  • Imac is 4 months old.  Using installed Outlook for Mac 2011 but now want to use ical so that I can start to use iCloud to sync with my Ipad2 and iPhone.  How do I move my calendar from outlook to ical on the iMac?

    This is my first attempt at using this forum so please be patient with me.  I am new to the apple world.  Bought an Imac desktop computer back in October and installed Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 because I was used to Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and outlook.  Now I am being told that I should be using ical for my calendar so that I will be better able to move to icloud for use between my Imac, Ipad2, and Iphone.
    The question is:  how do I move my calendar which is in "Outlook for Mac 2011" into ical on my Mac?  Do I have to remove the Outlook entries from the computer and reinstall them back to the same machine or can I somehow move calendar entries within the machine?  I appreciate any help I can get.  Thanks.

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

    There is no way to use iCloud Dav services (contacts and calendars) in Outlook 2011 as Outlook does not support Dav services.
    Use a client that supports Dav if you want to use iCloud.

  • 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?

  • Know how to automatically sync iCloud notes on Outlook for Mac 2011?

    Hi People,
    I've decided to use Outlook for Mac 2011 instead of Apple Mail. Does anyone know how I can setup Outlook notes to sync automatically with my iCloud Notes?
    Much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Doug

    You can't.
    Outlook for Mac is not compatible with iCloud except for email. See Microsoft's statement here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    Until Microsoft decides to start supporting the industry standard protocols iCloud uses, Outlook for Mac is useless.

    Did you set up your phone to sync Contacts with iCloud? If not sure, you can log in to https://www.icloud.com and see if your contacts are there.

  • HT4864 My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. Any suggestions?

    My outgoing email as stopped working when using Outlook for mac 2011. I have deleted and reinstalled the account twice. I have 11 gig free on my iCloud account. The outgoing server is set at smtp.mail.me.com using port 587. If I was able to reinstall the account, I am positive I have the correct password. I can log into my iCloud accout using the same credentials.
    Any suggestions?

    I called Microsoft to fix my problem...for those maybe having the same issue, I was told by the Tech to use this outgoing server setting - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    All is working fine since doing so.

  • 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.
    Cant help with the Outlook problem.

  • New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011

    New Message, reply, or forward window does not open in Outlook for Mac 2011
    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.
    Best regards

  • 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:
    How to create signature or customize it (add picture) in Outlook for Mac 2011
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2455171/en-us
    Add a signature automatically to every message
    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:

    need to convert mails from apple mail to outlook for mac 2011. have gone through Imap procedure and am tired of transferring mails manually coz there are thousands of'em. can anyone suggest any simple solution to this problem?

    Create a IMAP account (GMAIL icloud etc.)

    Drag emails into a folder on the imap server and then go back to Outlook 2011 and drag the emails from the imap into your email. and your done all your emails

  • HT4489 I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

    I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

    vCards exported from Outlook are not compatible with iCloud if that's what you're trying to import it to.  You'll have to do something like create a Gmail account, then export your Outlook contacts to Gmail (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-outlook-contacts-to-google -gmail-HA001148902.aspx), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

    yes, I checked.
    You know what the configuration file for this setting? It all started when I replaced the folder "Office 2011 Identities" with that of the old MAC!
    In fact, if I create a new account everything returns to normal but I need to work with my account!
