Unable to add POP Account for Outlook 2011 for Mac.

Hi, I have bought the Outlook 2011 for Mac recently, but I am unable to add an account for my email
Here is what I did:
Tools > Accounts> (a window pops out) > click "Email Account" and the thing just froze.
Tried restarting and reinstalling.. but does not work.
However, when I tried clicking "Exchange account" a window requesting email information slides down, which is what I need to setup my POP account!!!

How do I setup google mail server account in Outlook 2011 for Mac?

My company just switched from an Exchange server to a google mail server for business, and I've been trying to setup my account in Outlook 2011 for Mac to sync mail/folders/calendars/contacts, with not much luck. I have a new macbook pro - please help! What are my options?

Did you ever have success with this? I am about to do the same thing.

Hi,
As far as I know, the message preview feature is not available in Outlook 2011 for Mac. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, you can post a question in the Outlook for Mac forum to confirm this:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Hi,
Please first make sure to install any updates that available to your system.
I would also suggest you to use a "clean startup" to determine whether background programs are interfering with Office for Mac:

Intermittent send failures in Outlook 2011 for MAC

Ever since Verizon changed its POP server settings, I am getting intermittent send failures from MS Outlook for MAC 2011 even though I made the correct port changes and SSL options in Outlook 2011. Everywhere I look for assistance, including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon, no one has found anything wrong other than Microsoft suspects that Verizon's server doesn't like too many logins and passwords in a set period of time. Apparently, every email that is sent, sends a User Name and Password to Verizon's server. MS suspects that the server doesn't like that and rejects messages within a certain time period. Furthermore, I cannot find any Verizon support for Outlook 2011 for the MAC! Once again this is "intermittent" such as 4 messages will go and then the 5th will not. If I leave it in the outbox, it will eventually send. I'm not sure that MS's theory is fully correct because sometimes I get the send failures on the first message sent. The error message says, "Outlook cannot find the server etc." "Error Code: 3170". All incoming messages come into Outlook 2011 correctly. Does Verizon support Outlook 2011 for the MAC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Re: Consistent alerts error 3170...and my settings are correct! HELP!

I had the same issue. After talking to a Verizon FIOS technician from thier techinical support center, he said that no changes are needed for Outlook for Mac. That means the settings should be:
Incoming server: incoming.verizon.net
Incoming port: 110
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Outgoing server: outgoing.verizon.net
Outgoing port: 25
Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED
Hope that helps others not waste an hour searching Verizon's website and trying to navigate their massive phone tree to actually speak to a technician.

Outlook 2011 for Mac users must click send/receive to get new mail from exchange 2013 server

I recently switched our primary CAS servers over from a single exchange 2010 cas/mailbox/hub server to a couple new exchange 2013 CAS/Mailbox servers. Exchange 2013 has cu3, and is hosted on windows server 2012. Anyone who has their mailbox hosted
on one of these exchange 2013 servers has an issue where they must click the send/receive button to get new messages downloaded to their client. This is only the case for outlook 2011 for mac client. Activesync clients, mac mail, OWA, and Outlook 2010/13
all behave normally.
Where can I look or what can I check to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi,
Any good news from the Mac Forum?

Unable to add account to Outlook 2010 for email address under custom domain

I am unable to add a new account in Outlook 2010 for an email account set up under a custom domain.
Can anyone explain why login credentials that work for outlook.com (successful access to email inbox) return an authentication failure (401 error) when used to test connectivity via https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com?
Details:
I set up a custom domain at https://domains.live.com and did the following DNS configuration steps at my web hosting company following instructions from domains.live.com:
Created custom MX record
Created CNAME record [name:] autodiscover.jrergonomics.com [value:] autodiscover.outlook.com.
I created email addresses at domains.live.com > jrergonomics.com > Member accounts and tested by successfully logging in to outlook.com.
When I try to add either account to Outlook 2010, I get a popup box with this information:
Title: "Windows Security"
Connecting to [email protected]
[[email protected]]
[ ] Remember my credentials
[ OK ] [ Cancel
The credentials that I use successfully to log in to outlook.com don't work here; I get the popup box 3-4 times and then the Outlook 2010 Add New Account dialog displays an error:
"An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available. Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection."
Clicking Next results in an error message:
"Problem Connecting to Server"
I have tried verifying the connectivity using https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com:

Unable to snyc calender and contacs from outlook 2011 for mac

iTunes won't sync calenders and contacts from Outlook 2011 for Mac
OS Mavericks 10.9.5
iTunes 12.0.1.26
Also tried on iTunes 11.4

I don't receive an error, i am syncing to iPhone and iPad... I connect the device to the MacBook with the cable, open iTunes and click on the device on iTunes then go to info tick sync contacts but it doesn't show me any contacts below, then tick sync calender and i could see the calenders and then I select the calender that i want to sync and press apply... the sync icon appears as if it is syncing and the disappeared after a few minutes. When i check the iPhone or the iPad the calender and contacts are empty.
I have enabled the sync services in outlook for mac 2011 and ticked calender, contacts and tasks and select the account to sync and the outlook folder to add new items to but still it does not sync anything.
I went to the iStore technical support and the technicians were unable to help me they just told me that Apple has removed the functionality, to me it looked like they were clueless

Sent messages from secondary account are not saved in Outlook 2011 for Mac

We are using a shared email account added in Outlook 2011 for Mac. It's not the default account but we send from it often.
Whenever sending from this secondary mailbox, the message is not saved in sent items folder under the secondary mailbox or the default mailbox. There seems to be no record of the sent item anywhere.
I verified the message is sent and received.
All microsoft updates have been applied and we are using Exchange 2010.

Hello,
Please first log into OWA and check if the email are saved in the Sent Items folder.
We can tick the option "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder" in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 to save a copy of sent message, please check if you get such option in Outlook for Mac.
In addition, in Outlook for Windows, we can change a registry key to force Outlook to save sent emails in the default or secondary mailbox, but I'm not sure if Outlook 2011 has such trick. See:

Outlook 2011 for Mac suddenly requiring passwords

I've had Outlook 2011 for Mac installed on my Pro (Operating System: Mavericks) for 5 months now and all of a sudden, it's requiring that I enter my password for each email account (I have 4) every time I log in to the program.
I've typed in the passwords and selected "save to keychain" but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. Please help as this is extremely aggravating!

Note: This can be a sign of database issues in Outlook or you can simply ignore and it will connect without adding passwords. Mail also has this issue with passwords
Make sure you are fully updated.
OS X 10.9.5 Run Combo updater to refresh your OS X files.
Microsoft Office 14.4.8
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update (Combo) http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1760
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.8 Update http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45872
Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities.
Run Keychain First Aid
Next....
In Keychain, filter on an account in the top right search box.
Open the entry.
In the Attributes window, select to Show password. You'll need to enter your computer login password to view.
Verify it's entered correctly.
Next click on the Access Control tab.
Do you see Outlook listed? If not add it.
You might also find many duplicate entries in the keychain. Most email accounts have a sending and receiving entry. However the Keychain.app does not delete old ones when you add a new password so this list can become cluttered. You might want to delete all entries for your email account(s) and add passwords again in Outlook.
If you have Exchange or IMAP you might want to test the new Outlook v15 free in preview. Requires Yosemite.

I would not recommend if you have POP accounts.

Outlook 2011 for Mac: Lost all emails

Hello,
I installed Microsoft 2011 for Mac two months ago and I was quite happy with that. Ok, I must say that Outlook often pops up with "Outlook 2011 has encountered a problem and needs to close". This is annoying, but when Outlook is re-opened all runs smoothly. I understand this is a problem with Microsoft, rather than with Mac, so I live with the idea.
The problem here is that when I have opened my Outlook this morning, to my great surprise, I have found out that all my emails have disappeared: nothing in my Inbox, no folders, no Archive, no contacts, no task list, no accounts set... Nothing! Outlook appears as if it is the first time it is used.
As far as I recall, I didn't do anything weird yesterday before shutting down. Luckily, I have a backup dated 17th July (no Archive folders, though), so I have lost just 2 weeks of emails (I'm currently importing that) but still, I would like to know what has happened to my emails and why.
Anyone can help, please?
Thank you for your consideration and for your help.

Outlook 2011 for Mac keeps asking me for password

I had been using Windows Live Mail (pop 3) for years until last week; rarely, if ever had any problems downloading my mail.
I just bought a Mac computer and am using Outlook 2011 for Mac; my operating system is Maverick (if that means anything to anyone).
The BT tech guys suggested I set up my mail accounts as IMAP so that all mail read on the server syncs etc. with my Outlook. It all sounded great. However, ever since I installed Outlook for Mail it asks me for my password numerous times during the day (for each of my 5 email accounts)....it usually does this when the computer has been in sleep mode, i.e., when Outlook tries to download mail from the server.
Something else to mention is that whilst the BT tech guys set up my IMAP accounts with:
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
The BT Mail department (today) told me to revert back to 110 (outgoing) and 25 (incoming) and to call the incoming and outgoing mail.btinternet.com instead of the smtp.........(I forget the rest of it now) that the tech guys set it up as.
I've since reverted the incoming and outgoing to mail.btinternet.com but haven't changed the numbers to 110 and 25 because the BT Mail guy said "if you are able to send/receive using the 993 and 465...just leave them. And I *am* able to send/receive. The problem is more the password prompt and the message "server not recognised" or whatever it says....I can't recall the exact words.
I phoned Apple and they of course say it is an Outlook problem; not an Apple one, though they did help me delete the mail settings in their keychain thingie so that I could put in my passwords again (all passwords are correct by the way).
Apple did ask, however if my internet service provider are happy for me to have mail set up as IMAP; she epxlained that it really isn'y *my* choice; it's the server people's choice.
My questions are therefore: 1) who/what is my server? Is it BT? My email addresses are all btinternet.com and I'm also using BT Broadband for both home and my business/office.
I just don't understand why Outlook keeps prompting me for password so my second question is 2) does anyone know why I am being prompted for my password as often as I am? Does this have to do with IMAP settings? with Outlook? or with my Server? or possibly all of the above? and how does one identify the real issue?
Many thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

Slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac?)

We're experiencing slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services versus MAPI, OWA, and Outlook Anywhere. I'm not totally certain that it is Exchange Web Services or specifically Outlook 2011 for Mac. I attempted to test with the Mac Mail
App, but it makes it difficult to tell when the attachment has been uploaded and the file has been sent. Here's what we're seeing (10mb file):
MAPI / RPC/HTTPS / OWA: 10-15 seconds upload time
Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac): 60-90 seconds upload time
Thoughts? Any idea why we would see such a drastic difference in attachment upload time? Any way to prove definitively that it is Exchange Web Services vs. Outlook 2011 for Mac? We've tried it from multiple locations with multiple different machines,
and although the upload times vary (some locations have more bandwidth etc) the ratios remain similar.

Hi ,
Does all the user occurred the issue ?
If only special user, I recommend you do the following steps and test:
1.Remove and re-add the email account and check if this helps to resolve the issue.
To remove and add the email accounts:
Open Outlook > GO to Tools > Accounts > Click on "Minus" symbol to remove and "Plus" to add an Email account.
2.Creating a new user profile:

3. If the issue persists, rebuild the data base and check the results:

You can also post it on Office for MAC forum to get special support about the difference between Outlook and Outlook for MAC.

Outlook 2011 for Mac + Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand

Does anyone know of a "Oracle Outlook Email Integration On Demand" plug in that'll work with Outlook 2011 for Mac?

Hi,
Thanks for all of the responses - I have now done these suggested settings which has downloaded all of the separate inbox folders but I am still having a couple of errors:
1: If I delete an email on outlook 2011 it doesn't actually delete it from my email account
Are you 100% sure the account is now IMAP?
2: I am unable to send any emails I get an SMTP error?
Have you ticked the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' box in the outgoing server section.
3: I still have to click send/receive to receive any emails
This is for Outlook 2010 on Windows, but there will be something similar on your version. Go to File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive where you should be able to set the parameters required.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Jack
