Outlook keeps asking for the password for my IMAP account which is a .me.com account.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem?
All my exchange accounts are fine in Outlook, so the previous suggestions do not help to solve my issue.
I am using Outlook 2011 on my Mac and I have this constant, annoying issue where if Outlook tries to sync with no internet connection it will make me re-enter all my account passwords. I have scoured the web trying to find a solution to this problem but
I can only find answers dealing with exchange accounts. All of my accounts are IMAP and it makes me re-enter the passwords every time even though I have them saved in the keychain and it works properly when I have an active ineternet connection.
First I get the following error:
"Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct."
And then the next time I sync with an active connection it makes me re-enter all the passwords. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I have an odd issue: I have a client who is a consultant that has two different email accounts between two different companies. One is running Exchange 2007 SP3 and the other is Office 365. Both accounts are configured as exchange accounts in Outlook 2011. Outlook 2011 is version 14.3.2 and the OS is Mountain Lion on the mac.
The thing is that mail from all his folders is being replicated, or synchronized between both Exchange accounts. I cant figure out how its doing this synchronization because mail is coming into the inbox on the onsite exchange server, and it did not arrive there via SMTP.
So for example his sent mail in Company A is also showing up in his sent mail in Company B even with the From fields and to fields intact. so its *** Email address is removed for privacy *** showing up in B.com's exchange server.
I am trying to replicate the problem on My Mac by making accounts in both companies with Outlook 2011, but so far I havent seen any mail copy over.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi!
Here's the scenario: I have two Exchange accounts set up on my Outlook for Mac 2011. I'd like to keep one of the accounts online but turn the other one off-line for a few hours - maybe until 5pm. I have seen one account online and the other offline in
cases where for some reason the server connection could not be established but how do I purposefully take one of the accounts off-line?
Thanks for your help!
I have the latest update 14.2.4. Up to Oct. 5 emails on my exchange server account were showing forward and reply flags. Now they don't. I don't even see replies and forwards in the sent folder. I tried turning off the "conversation" sort and still
no results. I have two other POP accounts in Outlook that continue to show the icons. Ideas for a fix?
Spontaneously Outlook 2011 does some sort of updating of the local database.
This time my computer re-booted when it was about 80-90% done. This sub sequentially led to all emails received after June was removed locally, on 2 different exchange accounts and my gmail account (The e-mails ended up in the archive in gmail.).
So not only did it remove them locally it wiped them from the servers as well somehow!
Has anyone experienced this? Any solution as to recover?
As for my school exchange account i could see the emails in the recover folder, but when i chose all and recover selected they disappeared.....
Not to impressed by outlook right now.
does outlook 2011 support 2 exchange accounts in the same profile ? as Microsoft outlook 2010 does !

I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Book Pro with 4 GB of RAM.
I have three accounts set up in Outlook 2011 -- two Exchange accounts on a corporate server and one Gmail account. My database is just under 1 GB. I have a considerable amount of mail stored in the computers under "On this computer."
In the last week the program has become unusably slow. Double-clicking on a message and opening it takes about 15 seconds. I get the spinning beach ball nearly every time I open a message.
Should I rebuild my database? Trash preferences? Please help. I may have to abandon ship.
Thanks.

(Mac issue starts in paragraph 6 but the background is important, since I think these problems are related.)
My company is a SaaS provider with more than 1000 customers. We are using a hosted Exchange 2010 system provided by a 3rd party. In addition to separate email accounts for each employee, we also have a "Support@" mailbox into which all email correspondence with our customers in received and stored. This account has a large folder tree with more than 1500 folders (including archives for customers who are no longer using our service.) The overall size is about 4GB and 100,000+ messages.
We have two support people who both have their own email accounts and who also are supposed to have access to the Support@ account so that they can respond to customer support requests, then create folders (for a new customer) and move messages around. The Support Inbox is generally empty since we handle all emails as soon as they arrive.
One support person is using Outlook 2010 - he has two Exchange accounts configured. The other is using Outlook 2007. She has the Support account configured as an "Additional mailbox to open" when she starts Outlook (since 2007 apparently doesn't support 2 Exchange accounts.) Both of these employees are configured in Exchange to have "Full Access" and "Send As" permissions. Within Outlook, both employees are also configured as "Owners" of the Support mailbox.
The problem we are having is that this is not working. The two employees can see the Support mailbox but they don't have full access to it. For the guy using Outlook 2010, his system started to synchronize but then stopped about 10% in and won't continue. For the gal using Outlook 2007, she can see most of the tree. But if I create a new folder, she doesn't see it and she can't move messages into folders.
For both employees, if they use Outlook Web Access, everything works correctly. They can move messages around and see them immediately. So this strongly suggests that security is correctly configured in Exchange, and that this is an Outlook problem on their local computers.
Now, I'm having a slightly different problem. I run Outlook 2011 on a Mac. I also have Full Access/Owner rights to the Support mailbox. I can see the full tree; I can create folders and move messages around with no problems. However, approx. every 1-2 minutes, I get a Mac beach ball (equivalent of the Windows hourglass) and everything locks up for about 10 seconds. Then I can keep working. Of course, the Mac uses individual files for each messages, instead of a monolithic PST file; not sure why this would matter...
Our email hosting company is now trying to tell us that the problem is we have too many folders and there is a limit of 500 folders. This doesn't make sense. These problems actually started about 4 weeks ago after they did some reconfiguration work on their servers. Before then, we had basically the same number of folders and messages and were not having this problem (maybe we added 10 folders since then; lots of messages though.)
We're at our wits end with this. This is our whole support operation and our support team need to be able to access folders and messages. I think this is some kind of synchronization problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I will cross-post this request in the Outlook Forums as well, since it may be an Outlook issue.
