eMail configuration seems to be damaged when using send eMail as attachment from Excel, PowerPoint, Word

12. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
I am getting the message "...Please check you Mail Configuration...". Everything worked fine before, even sending eMail via Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Even after a complete delete of Office 2011 and a new installation it is not functioning any longer.  Steps to the error:

Menu: File ==> Share ==> eMail (as attachment)  (I had to translate it by myself because I am using German language - might be different at original english version)

Outlook start / pops up but nothing happens. Going back to the calling app (Excel, PPT, ...) shows Popup " Please check that your eMail program is correctly configured ....". 

I have checked that Outlook is the default eMail Program and I run the Database Utility Tool to re-build my Main Identity - still getting this error popup. 


Word 2011: High CPU load when using documents from a Sharepoint server

English version of the questions:

Hi, I hope somebody can help me here: 

I am using Word 2011 for Mac to work on documents that I load from a Microsoft Sharepoint Server. I am loading the documents via Microsoft Document Connection. Every time I load a document into Word, it takes a few seconds and cpu load of may Mac is up to 100% and more. Soon after, Word starts to become very slow and dies in the end. The same happens when I am using PowerPoint or Excel 2011. I am using OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Book Pro.

Using Word on Windows, I can load the same documents and edit them without any problems. 

Thanks in advance for helping me.


German version (sorry, I did not know the forum is English only):

Hallo, ich hoffe, dass mir hier jemand weiterhelfen kann:

Wenn ich Dokumente von einem Sharepoint-Server per Microsoft Document Connection in Word 2011 for Mac öffne, nimmt Word nach kurzer Zeit 100% und mehr von meiner CPU-Zeit ein. Später steigert sich dieser Wert, Word wird nicht mehr nutzbar (reagiert nur noch sehr langsam) und stürzt schließlich ab. Das gleiche passiert mit Powerpoint oder Excel. 

Unter Windows kann ich die gleichen Dokumente problemlos mit Word 2010 aus dem Sharepoint-Server öffnen und bearbeiten. Ich nutze OS X 10.6.8.

Vielen Dank im Voraus für jeden Tipp.
