WebDAV support for Microsoft Outlook 2011 (and newer) for Mac.

06. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Entourage 2008 provided support for WebDAV.  This allowed me as a government employee to access my Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) webmail via Entourage which increased my productivity ten-fold by allowing me to manage my emails and pull them into personal folders.  Outlook 2011 for Mac no longer provides WebDAV support.  I would beg you to please reconsider whatever decision was made and provide WebDAV support to Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 and later.  Thank you so much!

Setting up Hotmail account via Exchange in Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition

01. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

Is it possible to add a Hotmail account in Entourage through an Exchange server? If so, what are the step-by-step settings?

Web searching for an answer has not been successful, and this link has not worked: http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/ee461397.aspx. Plus I already know about the POP/SMTP settings and have the account available that way. But I'm hoping to have the better abilities of Exchange for the account.

Please advise.

Emails not in folders after importing Entourage into Outlook 2011

02. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Hi, I've followed the steps to import everything from Entourage 2008 into Outlook 2011, selecting Main Identity, and all the checkboxes (folders, contacts, etc). 

All the folders have come across but they are empty. It appears all the emails have come across, but they are in the inbox, not filed in the folders. 

I definitely need the emails filed in the original folders. 2 questions:

1) is this a known issue? Or something I did?
2) if I need to import files again, is there a way to dump the emails that have been imported into my inbox? (I don't want duplicates)
Thanks,
k

Saving and Deleting Attachments from Multiple E-mails

31. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
In Entourage you had the ability to select multiple e-mails and then either save the attachments or delete them. In Outlook it appears you can only use these commands with a single e-mail message at a time. Is there any way to process attachments on multiple e-mails simultaneously? 

is there a way to designation a folder other than “sent” BEFORE you send an email?

Attach or Link a Note to an Email Message.

17. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , ,
I just upgraded from Entourage 2008 to Outlook 2011 running on Lion and there seems to be an important function in Entourage that is not in Outlook. How do I link a new note to an email message? I see where the Notes tab is located in the lower left corner but I don't see how to link the note to an existing email message that I have received in the InBox. This was possible in Entourage. Also I could link a calendar event, task and even link one email message to another although I did not use those functions but really miss the note to email linking option. How can I do that? Thanks

outlook sync problem

04. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,

I have been using outlook for almost 20 years, but I am about to give up on it.  When I switched to Mac in 2010, I loved the ease of use of the MAC OS compared to the perpetually bugged MS Windows OS. 

 

I found a few things though.   While Office 2008 for Mac was prettty good, the Entourage email app was pretty poor not allowing HTML formatted email.  This is not a major problem except when trying to forward HTML emails as they would appear all scrambles.  As imperfect as Entourage was in email, the calendar and contacts feature were solid and syncing with iCal and Mac address book was ROCK solid.

 

I upgraded (now it feels like a downgrade) to Outlook 2011.  There is no question that the other apps (word, excel, powerpoint) are better than the 2008 Office, but Outlook 2011 is HORRIBLE due to problems syncing with iCal and address book. 

 

I was able to sync with iCal and Address book for a while, but eventually the sync services stopped syncing appointments.  After hours and hours of research, I found that I could deactivate MS Sync Services in Outlook preferences, in the Library > Preferences folder I deleted the file named: com.microsoft.Outlook.SyncServicesPreferences/plist file and reset sync history in iSync.

 

I then turn on sync services but I found that every time I did this I got duplication of any calendar event that was an "all day" event.  The only way to do this would be to delete all my calendars in iCal before starting to sync again to replace all the data in iCal.  The other bigger problem is that after a while, the syncing would again stop working. 

 

Sure I could reset everything again, but the effort to go through this process over and over 1-3 times per day makes this process unworkable for me.  I have worked on this problem too long.   The bottom line is that MS Outlook 2011 Sync Services DO NOT WORK RELIABLY!!!

 

After almost 20 years, I must now say goodbye to Outlook. Without a reliable sync to iCal ( and then to my iPhone) Outlook calendar and address book are useless to me.  Sad day, but if anyone can help me fix this problem, I will happily stay with Outlook as the calendar is much better than iCal, but without rock solid syncing, it is useless.
