In my version of 2011 Outlook for Mac the Deleted email folder is called Trash and will not empty when quitting Outlook even with schedule to empty.  I can only manually delete emails in this folder.  However when I mark an email to be deleted (from another folder) it does not show up in the Trash folder.  
Evidently I was automatically switched to Outlook without my permission. In so doing I have all the options down the left hand side I formerly had - except Contacts. That is missing. Without it I do not have my bank of contact addresses to send email to. Where is the bank of Contacts supposed to appear?
Why when I click to reply to an email it shows up as a blank message and I when I try to type in the contact it doesn't even come up anymore, I have to memorize their address and type the whole thing in.  I cant even seem to send an email from my contacts list either.  What is going on?
I am trying to send a email to all my contacts at once, but once i hit send, the message reads that i have incorrectly spelled an email, when I have not, what can i do to correct this?
I want to unsubscribe from Hotmail and messenger on my laptop. will affect my other email accounts
Help can't open my email in my inbox?
I have deleted emails from all the folders they are stored in but when I type the first letter in the new message box, some "deleted" addresses having the same letter that I typed, appear.
I am looking for an email sent to me on 11/14 that may have gone into my spam file.  How do I access my spam file.
I use 3 different computers and on one of them - the one I use most - when I click to reply to an email the address of the pesron I am replying to does not appear. It must be something to do with the settings on that computer but I cannot find out what!
Thank you for our answer. I actually tried all the solutions you mentioned for me in your answer but I failed to get access to reset my password for my email account. I wondered why they didn't answer me when I sent the verification questionnaire, they did it before for another account they send immediately within 24 hours the link and it worked, and I changed the password.

Thanks in advance.
