Hi,

I've created a IMAP account for Gmail in MS outlook and wish to use the same with the following customisation:

1. Map the send and delivery to a specific PST file (rather than the most recent auto-generated one)

2. Move/ copy or create a fresh set of Contacts, journal, claendar, tasks, feeds and all supplementary folders/ features associated with MS outlook to this Gmail account. 

3. On the navigation pane, set/ move the Gmail PST as the primary folder list

4. Close the default Outlook PST file after completing the above.

I tried the existing help feature in MS outlook, however, some of these have not been addressed.

Could you please help with the above. 

Many thanks and with regards,




I quit outlook and now the icon has disappeared altogether alone with all my customisation of outlook

I am running Microsoft Office for Mac Home and business 2011. This morning I noticed that my tasks folder was empty. I decided to quit outlook and restart it in the hope that my tasks would reappear. Instead when I right clicked on the outlook icon on my desktop and hit quit, the icon disappeared all together. I then went to finder and searched for outlook. When it came up, I clicked on it and it brought up outlook, but it is a brand spanking new outlook without any of my sent items, inbox items, my contacts, my tasks, my sub-folders or my deleted items. Help!!! I am devastated, particularly by the loss of all my contacts.
