Hello,

Thank you in advance for your help

Bonsoir,

A la suite de l'installation de office 2011 à la place de 2008, ma messagerie est passée de entourage vers Outlook.J'ai pu récupérer les données stockées dans le dossier identité principale, mais j'avais créé des sous dossier dans entourage dans lesquels je classais mes mails.Je n'ai pas pu récupérer ces sous dossiers.Est ce que qu'un a une solution pour les retrouver sois par import ou est ce que quelqu'un a une idée où ils seraient stockés soit sur le mac même ou sur la sauvegarde time machine.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide

Contacts differences between Outlook 2011 & Entourage 2004

12. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Entourage, mass email program

I've just moved to Outlook 2011 from Entourage 2004. My first 2 questions have to do with using Contacts.

1) In Entourage, I could highlight a group of contacts, copy them and when I pasted into Word or my mass email program, only the email addresses of the contacts would be pasted. With Outlook, all the info for the contact is pasted. How can I copy just the email address for a highlighted group of contacts?

2) In Entourage, I had Address Book Views created for the many Categories to which I had assigned contacts. In Outlook, I don’t see a way to create the equivalent of Address Book Views. Is this done through creating a new Folder or Contact Group? And if so, what’s the procedure for adding a large group of contacts to a new Folder or Contact Group rather than one by one? I have thousands of these to do.

Thanks

Gregg

Scripts needed for Outlook for Mac 2011

24. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Entourage, OUTLOOK inbox, sender name

I'm now migrating from Entourage 2008 to Outlook for Mac 2011. I frequently use scripts on Entourage to accomplish the following:

1) Change the name of the sender of a message I've received. I use this, for example, if the sender of the mail shows their name in a non-Roman alphabet (Chinese, etc) and I want their sender name to appear in my inbox in Roman letters. Or if I know the person by their nickname rather than their formal name. In both cases I want their sender name in my Outlook inbox to match the name I know them by.

2) Change date and time sent of a received mail. Occasionally I use this script in Entourage if the clock on the sender's computer is set incorrectly and the message therefore appears in the wrong place in my inbox.

3) Delay sending time. This script allows me to set the sending date and time of a mail to, say, the end of the week, or even sometime next year.

I've searched everywhere online and haven't found these three scripts for Outlook yet. Can anyone help me find them? Or are there other non-script, time-efficient workabout solutions?

Thank you for any advice you can provide!

email attachments in Entourage 2008 -> what happens to attachments in conversion to Outlook 2011?

22. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: email attachment, email attachments, Entourage, MacBook Air

I have a new MacBook Air that sits in the box because of my stress in having to use Outlook 2011 instead of Entourage 2008.

99% of the stress comes from fear that the many hundreds of emails that still have file attachments to them won't convert into Outlook with the files attached. I work in a home office environment by myself, so there are no issues around other users or networks. I've looked around here and on the web to find out what happens to the attachments when I import Entourage 2008 data into Outlook 2011 and I can't find a hint of an answer.

Does anyone know what will happen? Assuming I'll lose all the attachments, does anyone have a suggestion other than the obvious of what I should have done over the years...detach the email attachment and save it where it belongs!

Thanks.

One time each year, Outlook 2011 generates duplicate e-mails – fix?

28. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Entourage, outlook settings, pop account

I have Outlook 2011 running under OS 10.6.8. Time-Warner is my ISP and the e-mail is a POP account. About once every 12 months, usually in early Autumn, all my e-mail gets duplicated in each of my e-mail sub-accounts. The same thing also happened when I was using Entourage 2008 with OS 10.4.x and 10.5.x, but not with the previous Entourage 2004 ... going to Entourage 2008 seemed to be the start of this. What's going on?

I manually clean-out and delete the files, and I'm OK for another year. Note: duplicate e-mails only show-up on the Outlook POP account, but not when viewing the TW web mail from my browser.

I previously contacted Time-Warner, and they blamed Entourage / Outlook settings (but could not identify what those should be) ... ultimately, they said it was a problem for Microsoft tech support.

I contacted Microsoft tech support; they verified my Outlook settings were appropriate for a POP account. They told me it was not a Microsoft issue, rather a problem with Time-Warner e-mail servers, mostly likely associated with some reboot or system reset. Time-Warner denied this could be the cause, however, they are more Win-PC focused, and have little knowledge with the Mac version of products. For what it's worth, by wife's PC on the same account, running XP and Outlook 2007, does not have this problem.

Is there an advanced setting within Mac Outlook 2011 to prevent this in the future?
I have several 1000 duplicate e-mails; what is best software or Outlook plug-in to remove duplicates?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

How to undo the annoyance in Outlook Mac 2011?

29. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Entourage

My work place forced us to upgrade from Entourage 2008 Mac -> Outlook 2011 Mac. I find the new mail client super annoying. I'm so temped to move away from Outlook and onto something like Mozilla Thunderbird or .... Apple Mail (which I try to stay away from). Since I can't go back to Entourage 2008 (our IT upgraded Exchange that prevents me from going back to Entourage 2008). Here's my annoyance:

1) the jumping back to inbox: what happens is when I'm in a subfolder, sometimes it auto-jump back to inbox. Very annoying (people are complaining about the same thing on Mac rumor)

2) WHY did you remove selecting a topic?? (eg. "2 weeks ago" or the name of the person/topic you're sorting on to select all messages). Instead, I have to select the top message, scroll down, shift select the last message. (I was able to do this fine in Entourage 2008/2003)

3) that brings me to annoyance #3: sometimes, doing #2 causes the selection I just made to UNSELECT. If I were to set all to "read" or "unread", it de-selects, causing me to do #2 several times. Sometimes, if I were to first select the last message, scroll to top, then SHIFT click the 1st message, it auto-unselects. Doing #2 over and over again gets old fast.

4) search. WHY would you mess with that? I hate Apple spotlight and have it turned off. This disables message search. (this was awesome on Entourage 2008/2003)

5) some of the filters (after upgrading from Entourage 2008 Mac) doesn't work anymore. They disobey all rules and mailing list manager. There's a group I want to filter but ... even if I were to change the rule, add a new rule, or turn off ALL rules - it never obeys them Something is very whacked ... it's like you guys programmed mini-skynet into Outlook... (and no, I'm not interested in trashing my database and start over)

Come on guys, you guys went from awesome = Entourage 2008/2003 to junk = Outlook Mac 2011. Please do something or suggest a workaround. Make me a believer of Office product once again!

Entourage (Mac) data into Outlook for Mac

How can I import E-mails, contacts, calender from Entourage into Outlook? Entourage exports are xy.reg!

How can I stop an Microsoft Office 2011 Outlook email after I hit ‘Send’?

11. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Entourage, microsoft office, Outlook Email

In Entourage I could hit Command period. But that doesn't work in outlook. And there doesn't seem to be an out box.

How crazy is that? As soon as you hit the send button you remember something or want to change something.

I have found if you hit Command 7 you can keep your progress bar up constantly and be able to hit the X possibly in time. Is there no way by default to keep the Outbox up all the time. Or a button you can press to stop outgoing email. This could force me shift back to Entourage or Apple mail... sighhhh.

Anyone know how to stop the email from shipping?

Any and all help appreciated.
