I am running Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.0. This is at work so its on a server. In the lower right corner of the Outlook page, it is constantly uploading 4 messages. Once it finished, no emails appear in the inbox and the upload just starts again after a couple minutes. Each time it uploads, it takes about 10-15 minutes. I am able to send and receive all other email, but receiving is VERY delayed. I know this because we have web-based email also that I can check. 

I have tried rebuilding the database and creating a new identity and neither worked. Anything else I can try?

Thanks for any help!

I am using Outlook 2011 14.2.3 on Mountain Lion

I am unable to rebuild the database and i followed the steps from section 'if the rebuild or repair fails' in the link below which did not help either

I have mails in then which are really important

 

 

where can i find my outlook 2011 data as it's disappeared while rebuilding database? and how can i then reinstate/restore my outlook data, emails, addresses, accounts, etc..?
I cannot make calendar entries/schedule meetings in Outlook. Double clicking a time slot results in no action and right clicking shows the possibilities greyed out. I have rebuilt the database but that didn't help. Perhaps a coincidence but I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I would like to Export all emails and contacts from my Outlook for Mac to a USB drive so that it can be used in PC for Windows. I tried following the steps in Outlook, i.e. Export...to .olm files but I get faiure messages plus need to rebuild the Database using MS Database Utility. When I follow this instruction, after several hours it gives a message that the database cannot be rebuilt. I have important work related emails since 2003 which needs to be kept and transfered to my successor.
I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Book Pro with 4 GB of RAM.

I have three accounts set up in Outlook 2011 -- two Exchange accounts on a corporate server and one Gmail account. My database is just under 1 GB. I have a considerable amount of mail stored in the computers under "On this computer."

In the last week the program has become unusably slow. Double-clicking on a message and opening it takes about 15 seconds. I get the spinning beach ball nearly every time I open a message.

Should I rebuild my database? Trash preferences? Please help. I may have to abandon ship.

Thanks.

I was having problems opening Outlook 2011. When I was able to open it all my data was gone. I tried different identities in the identities folder but none of them have data. I do have saved identities in Time Machine -- how can I export these to get my old mail?

Just tried to install the latest Mac Outlook 2011 upgrade (14.2.2) per Microsoft Updater push notice.  The Upgrade stopped midstream and said a Database Rebuild was required to complete the upgrade.  The process would never complete itself and I ended up with a long error message every time i tried to restart Outlook.  So, per recommendations on this site, i deleted Outlook and reinstalled it.  Still have the same problem and do not know how to fix.  I did not have Time Machine running when this happened and my last backup of the MS database was quite a while ago.  

Anyone know how to restore my DB and get Outlook running again?  Thanks.
Hello all,


One of our employees here has been getting the message telling her she needs to rebuild her database. The database was rebuilt, but after Outlook failed to open. I switched her back to the old identity (pre rebuild) and Outlook opens again.

The problem only appears after she opens her deleted items folder to find an email. Apparently her deleted items folder has over 30,000 emails.... She says whenever she tries to empty it it takes too long so she cancels it.

I want to start a brand new Identity for her but she doesn't want to lose all her other emails that have been organized into other folders. I thought about exporting the messages into a .olm but in my testing i found that when import it back into a new identity it brings the deleted items folder with it.

Is there an easy way for me to get rid of her deleted items folder from her current identity? I dont want to do it from within Outlook because it would take too long, and its possible it could crash in the middle of it. 

If the above is not possible, then I will have to create her a new Identity. Is there a way for me to export her other messages and reimport without bringing deleted items with it?


This is for my boss who is extremely busy so I have very little time to troubleshoot on her machine. Any help would anyone could give would be much appreciated.


Thanks!
