AppleScript to extract the first name, last name, nickname, and sender address from every message in a folder in Outlook for mac:2011

Hello,

I'd need assistance writing an AppleScript to extract the first name, last name,  nickname, and sender address from every message in a folder in Outlook for mac:2011 then populate a new Excel spreadsheet. Once in Excel, I'll manually remove duplicates.

I want to rebuild my autocomplete history in Outlook for mac:2011 after migrating from Apple Mail.

Outlook only allows you to Add Sender to Address Book one message at a time.

Here's what I have:

on run {}

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

set theAccount to imap account "Me"

-- Get the messages selected in Outlook

set currentMessages to current messages

set mailFolders to name of folders of theAccount as list

-- Check to make sure items are selected, if not then quit

if ((count of currentMessages) < 1) then return

-- Iterate through selected messages

repeat with aMessage in currentMessages

-- Get the account for the message

set messageAccount to account of aMessage

set messageSender to sender of aMessage

sender of every message of folder "INBOX" of the theAccount as list

end repeat

end tell

end run



Thank you.

Apple Mail still does not work with gmail (IMAP or ActiveSync)

Apple Mail still does not work with gmail (IMAP or ActiveSync)

If you want to use apple mail then only office360 (exchange) is possible.

And that's too expensive for a home user. When this problem is solved once? Will there be an office preview for the MAC

Is there a way to run Outlook 2011 at startup, so it works just like Apple’s Email App?

10. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I just bought Office for Mac 2011 Business Edition, and plan on using Outlook now instead of the Email App from Apple.  One thing I really liked about it is that it would fetch for new emails at start up, so I would know right away if there were emails waiting for me.  It seems to me that with outlook, I have to click on the icon on the task desktop for it to fetch for new emails.  Is there anyway around this?

Also, does anyone have any insight on when an update for the Retina Display MBP is set to come out for Office?  It seems that outlook has been updated, but word is still blurry.

Any insight will be much appreciated.

Has anyone found a good way to reconcile the problem of syncing Mac Address Book with Outlook?

07. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I have an iPhone, and it syncs with Address Book, and I have sync services turned on, but I can't seem to find a good way to sync Outlook on laptop and iMac, and Address Book.   I continue to get data moving around to different fields, missing data, no data, duplication, etc.

I also learned that if you manually enter contact info in Outlook, it won't get pushed back out.  This is a problem in the sense that I have Outlook on my laptop and my 27" iMac at work, and this results in an inaccurate address book.

I don't understand why Microsoft and Apple can't come together to have a better way to sync address book data.  Everyone I encounter seems to have an issue with this.  

And speaking of Outlook, why is it that Microsoft had to try to reinvent the wheel in the layout / design of meeting notices?  what's wrong with how Outlook 2010, or 2007 for that matter, work?    I hate the fact that if I want to add people from my address book i can't simply select TO or CC or BCC and my email addresses come up like they do for the Windows version.  Instead, we have to move to the far right hand side, select the image of an address book which then takes you to Contacts Search, and then you have to choose the correct drop down, etc.  Who would design such an inefficient solution, particularly when 2010 was already out, and it works fine?  Why take a completely different approach?

Most people using Office on a Mac do so because they have used or are using the Office on a Windows machine.  Therefore, that's what they are used to.  

Outlook 2011, for me, continues to be the single most frustrating, crappy Office product of all of them.  And I'm not in the Apple vs Microsoft camp - I just want what works best.  I use Office365, and all of the tools there too (SharePoint, Lync, etc.).  And I'm happy with them, for the most part.   

BTW  - I have tools like Contacts Cleaner, etc.  But I'd rather get a fix for the problem to begin with, rather than a bandaid.

I bought an Apple Mac Pro computer and am having troubles sending emails.  I've spoken to the Apple Geniuses and was advised that I would have to re-set my settings from pop to IMAP.  How do I do this?
