Question about Outlook Express

Running Outlook 2011 under OS 10.10.5 but now Outlook 2011 no longer opens on this computer that also has Outlook 2016 installed. Upon starting Outlook 2011, the opening splash screen doesn't even consistently appear and the "active" notation dot in the Dock appears for a short time but then disappears. I get no error message. One time after I moved the current 2011 Main Identity to the trash (but did not empty the trash) I was told that I had to select an Identity.

Thus I've tried using backup Main Identities and they do not work either. I was able to import the current Outlook 2011 Main Identity into Outlook 2016 with no issues and CAN access my Exchange server email account using Outlook 2016.

I've twice repaired disk permissions and restarted after each repair but still cannot open Outlook 2011 on that computer.  I CAN open Outlook 2011 on my other computer (under OS 10.10.5) and CAN access my Exchanger server email account via that computer. The 2nd computer does NOT have Outlook 2016 installed. 

Does Outlook 2016 interfere with Outlook 2011? If not, does this mean I'd need to reinstall Office 2011 on the first computer to get it to continue working?

Split from this thread.

So I have the problem that my colleague has created a Word file on a Windows machine, and she has emailed it to me: i use a Mac.  When i open it i get a message that it's read-only and i need to create a copy to edit, so I do that.  I edit it, rename it, and save it - all works fine, but when I email it back to her, she can't open it.

Why not and what can I do about it?

Thanks!

Hi guys!  Hope the Office for Mac users here can weigh in.

I have 2 certificates/key pairs available in my Mac: 1 for RSA, and another for ECC.

In Windows, I have no problem using either one.

In Mac (Mavericks), I can select the RSA one for either signing or encryption in Outlook 2011, but the ECC one can only be selected in the list for signing.

I can put up screens from my Mac in succeeding posts, but does anyone know if ECC encryption is supported in Outlook 2011 for Mac?

Thanks.

Comcast made a change to their server settings. now on my 2nd email I get 16999 on every new incoming mail.  It says:

No such blob: mailbox=75339, item=233700, change=1665900

I have searched to find how to interpret "blob", item#, and change to no avail.  I can log in to online server no problem it is just on download to Outlook.  Settings for both accounts are identical. Default account has no problem.  Comcast is useless for support "error? we don't create errors! What did you call about? I'll put you on hold for another hour before I disconnect you".  So any clue as to how to determine blob or change or how to fix receive settings for second email?

every time I open my email, "error" pops up

How do I set up multiple Outlook users under the same computer login but have Outlook ask for their password each time Outlook is opened?

Currently we have only one user profile to log in to our MAC per our boss. I would like to open outlook by using the program that is installed on the computer but if I add my account anyone that logs in using our one user profile will be able to see my emails. Can that be changed?

Thanks,

For some reason, my event reminder sounds don't always work. The reminder popup window always works, but only sometimes comes with a sound, so I don't always notice it and have been late to a few meetings as a result. In my outlook preferences, under sounds, the reminder sound seems to work just fine, just not when I actually need to be reminded of something.

Two questions: Any possible causes for this? Is it possible that sounds only play under certain circumstances, such as when snoozing or not snoozing, or some other combination of actions?

Thanks

Hello All,

I have copied Microsoft User Data Folder for backing up the outlook email of my manager.

But when I put the same folder in another MACBook and build the identity it fails and end moment and gives error 18000
