can’t delete certain ‘sent’ emails. Trying initiates the color wheel of death

19. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I've sent emails to a chat group I normally participate in. Never had a problem. Two of those emails have shown up in the 'sent' file of Outlook, but do not show the body of the email. When I initially try to delete them, a second version of that email pops up with the body of the email. That one can be deleted. The one without the message causes the color wheel of **** spin when I try to delete it. The only way out is a force quit, restart, which doesn't do anything. The emails remain in the 'sent' file. Any ideas? I've done force quit, restart, gone to the home webpage of the email address...nothing.

Massive slowdown in Outlook after Mountain Lion upgrade

30. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
Hi:

I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and most things seemed to go well.

However, Outlook is now incredibly, painfully slow. I get the SBBOD (Spinning Beachball of Death) with almost anything I type.

Has anyone else run into this? If so, does anyone have suggestions as to how to get Outlook's performance back to normal?

Thank you very much!

Details:

  • OS 10.8.2
  • Outlook 2011 14.2.4
  • Like many, I'm using an encrypted disk image to store the Microsoft User Data file for security reasons. I reindexed the mounted disk image (using sudo mdutil -E /...) but this did not help.

My dead grandfather’s girlfriend is using his email account to impersonate him, need to deactivate it.?

My grandfather lost his battle with cancer back in March this year. I was asked by the family to assist with closing down his virtual accounts. When I went to close his hotmail account I was surprised to find "he" was still emailing. I tracked the IP address of the sender to his grilfriend's house. I changed the password and thought the account was locked down. The next day the accounts password had been changed and I was locked out. Most likely she was able to reset the password with the security question (I feel like an idiot for forgetting to change that) and now I can't even reset the password.

I'm not interested in going through my grandfather's emails, but I'm a bit worried about what his girlfriend might be doing with his account. The emails she was sending were really creepy as she was able to impersonate him very well.

I've been searching for a way to notify Microsoft of my grandfather's death and have a death certificate to prove it, however I've been unable to find the procedure to do so.

Calendar requests very slow to action

09. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
Hi,

I am running Outlook 2011 on my Mac and connecting to an exchnage serve in the US.

for some reason every time I get a calendar request, or simply access my calendar locally I get the spinning wheel of death for anything up to 5 minutes.
Eventually, if I'm patient, the meeting reesyed comes up, then once I press accept the wheel comes back for 1-3 minutes.

I have turned of all sync services between ical and outlook, but it still keeps happening.
I have rebuilt my identity multiple times, no change.

also the finder shows hundreds of OLK14_messages and notes

any help would be greatly appreciated.
