Trouble transferring email to Outlook for Mac 2011
I purchased a new iMac and Office for Mac 2011. I have years of Outlook email history to transfer over, which the folks at the Apple Store said would work, no problem. That hasn't been the case. None of my .pst files from Outlook (2003, for PC) will transfer correctly. It seems that about half the email is missing. Have tried importing just small pst files with less than 100 emails, that won't work either. I've seen this problem discussed on multiple forums, but haven't seen a consensus developing as to the solution. I've tried creating a new identity in Office for Mac 2011, importing there, exporting to a .olm file, and reimporting to my main identity, and that didn't work either. Each solution has thousands of missing emails, but never the same ones. I can find no pattern, relating to whether there were attachments, older emails, new emails, etc.
I know this is being discussed in various forums, but I'd like to ask whether anyone has any new ideas? Or, it would be great to know if ANYONE has successfully been able to complete this kind of transfer to Outlook for Mac 2011, or whether it's happening to everyone who tries.
Thanks...
We've had problems importing Outlook 2003 and earlier >PST files into Outlook 2011 due I think to the ANSI format of the PST file.
One option is to get a 30 day trial of Outlook 2010 for your PC, create a new PST file in 2010 and import your 2003 PST into it. Then the PST will be Unicode and Mac Outlook 2011 should be able to import this PST.

Additional file size is added to my PDF when attaching it to an email in Outlook for Mac 2011
I'm generating PDFs from Adobe Pro X. I have a 7.23MB PDF file that becomes a 9.8MB PDF file when attached to an email.
I'm trying to keep the file size as small as I can - why is the extra size added to the PDF?
I'm on an IMac, using Outlook for Mac 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X/Indesign CC to generate the PDFs. This isn't an isolated issue, it happens when I attached word documents as well and is extremely annoying!
Looking forward to hearing from anyone out there (desperately!)One thing to check.

DUPLICATE EMAILS IN OUTLOOK FOR MAC 2011
Why does outlook for mac 2011 download duplicate emails from web server pop3 accounts?
Hello Copernico:
I have the same problem and none of the fixes have worked for me, including preventing "Nap app" in Outlook. Let me know if you come across a solution, and I will do the same. -
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

This seems to be a problem with the sandboxing in Mt. Lion. I do not know of any work-around so far, other than falling back on Mail.app, sorry.

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.

MS Outlook for Mac 2011 great for eMail
I recently decided to give MS Outlook for Mac 2011 a try after using the native mail.app with my MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012), and wow! I don't know if it's because I have always used Outlook on my PC and have grown accostomed to it, but it really does feel like the interface, rules, folders, everythign is better!
I have 3 imap accounts that I run through Outlook (same ones in mail.app) and I now no longer feel like I'm "losing" eMail. For the past 6+ months I have lost eMail messages due to the way mail.app organizes them. It was a real hassle having to do exhaustive, complex searches involving subject, sender, date. No longer.
Anyway, just thought to write this up in case anyone else is considering jumping from mail.app to Outlook. Oh, and I ONLY use outlook for eMail. For Contacts and Calendar items, I continue to use the native apps (although I did import my contacts list in order to automatically download pictures in eMails).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).

i lost all of my folders on the "On MY Computer" section just below my gmail inbox. I am using Outlook for Mac 2011. Can I restore those lost emails and folders?
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.

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 use Office Outlook for mac 2011 to organise my email & calendar. Since updating to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to sync the calendar to my iPhone. What do I need to do to get the calendars syncing again?

Thanks! But seriously why have Apple disabled the info sync on iTunes? By 'Upgrading' to Mavericks I've inadvertantly disabled my Apple mobile devices from fulfilling their function. Come on Apple work with us here!!
Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac. -
Cannot Import Email and Folders from Outlook for Mac 2011
After downloading Lion, I could not import emails and folder structure from Outlook for Mac 2011.
You're in luck, Imap and Exchange accounts store their data on the server.
Leave Outlook alone, just add the accounts to Mail and let them synchronize, no import required. You can leave them in Outlook or remove them as you please once everything in Mail is done. -

thanks.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

There are third party tools available now-a-days for this kind of problems and they are pretty useful. You have just to select the files from the apple mail

When I sync outlook for mac 2011 calendar to iPhone the dates are repeated?
OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly. -
Want to use Outlook for Mac 2011
Hello!
I want to use Outlook for Mac 2011 for my calendar, email, and contacts on my Macbook Air, iPhone 6, and iPad Air. Is this possible to sync with all these devices with this program? I am more organized with Outlook than using the different Apple programs. It has more options.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.If you have outlook on all 3 devices, should be okay. However, I am suggesting you to probably try the Apple's and get used to it as you are using all notebook, phoneme and tab with Apple. Might save you some money with that.

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
