Clean up Conversation functionality – does it exist on Outlook for Mac ?

27. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.3.9 but can't find anything in the help or on the web about if this functionality is only available on the Mac version.  All I can find is this article: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/use-conversation-clean-up-to-eliminate-redundant-messages-HA101867736.aspx.  I really love this feature and hope I can do it now that I use a Mac.

Field Chooser for Sorting Emails, Outlook 2011 for Mac

27. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
In Outlook for Windows there is an option where one can right-click on the sorting fields and add/remove items from Field Chooser such as Date Received, To, Sent, Category etc.  

This is a great tool for sorting / viewing emails. This functionality is critical when one deals with numerous emails received/sent each day and wanting to access them later.  

The same functionality does not seem to exist in Outlook 2011 for Mac.  Is this the case or am I missing something? If not then, is there a way to work around it please?  

I would say the above and the lack of Format Painter are two key functionalities missing in Outlook and it is disappointing if Microsoft does not include it.  

assigned tasks not showing in outlook 2013

23. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I am testing the Task functionality in Outlook.com and comparing it to Exchange Server task functionality.  I am using Outlook 2013 to access my Outlook.com account.  When I create a task in Outlook 2013 and assign the task to another OUTLOOK.COM user here is what happens:


1.  They log into their Outlook.com account via web browser - the assigned tasks shows up in their inbox.

2.  They log into their Outlook.com account via Outlook 2013 desktop app - the assigned tasks DOES NOT show up in their inbox?


My Questions:


1.  Why does it not show up when accessing via Outlook 2013 desktop app?

2.  How do you properly assign a tasks using the Outlook.com platform (web browser and Outlook 2013)?

Outlook.com (Hotmail) folder functionality is lacking. Anyone else have this issue?

Hi,

I am using the latest version of Google Chrome but am having trouble with the folder functionality in the new Outlook (Hotmail).

We used to be able to Manage Folders as such and see everything in them and also move, delete, rename etc.  I realise now that this is not the case and you can perform these tasks with right-clicks etc.

However, I miss the ability to be able to order your folders in any particular way.  For instance, if you create a new folder directly under (sub folder) Inbox then regardless of the spelling it will sit at the top of the list.  For instance: Folder Name "Zimbra" will sit above folder named "Archive."

You cannot move the folder down below Archive without it being a sub folder.  I find this incredibly annoying.

Will there be more functionality when it comes to folders or are we stuck with it being cumbersome and counter intuitive?

Cheers,
Jimmy

When are you going to provide standard sync functionality for Calendars and Reminders through iCloud

31. March 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Outlook for the Mac is currently unusable as it provides no sync functionlity through to the Mac apps, iPhone and iPad. You’re using isync which is dead. All my data for Calendars and Reminders is received from iCloud. There is no way to sync with this as the data does not reside on the computer. All vendors are providing sync this way.

Outlook was a very expensive waste of money. You really need to do something about this.

How do you stop the “Your Messages Are In Your POP Folder” dropdown appearing across the top of the Hotmail page? It’s a nuisance!

28. December 2012 · 1 comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , , ,

I have other mail programmes that take email in my Hotmail account to display on other devices. Just recently, Microsoft have obviously updated that functionality and now force a POP folder in the Deleted folder of Hotmail. This is designed to keep any emails that have been used by another email service. A warning dropdown now displays at the top of the Hotmail page every time it is opened saying "Your Messages Are In Your POP Folder" with an option of making changes to how the 3rd party email service is able to interact with Hotmail.

 

There is no obvious way of stopping this annoying dropdown showing each time hotmail is run.

Office for Mac cannot connect to the Rights Management Services server.

Original Title: "Office 2011 for Mac and Rights Management Service"

Hello,

I am currently in the process of deploying RMS in our organization. I was able to successfully verify functionality of IRM using a Windows 7 machine, It works with OWA and Office Pro 2010.

Now with the problem, I am currently having issues opening up an item on Outlook 2011 for Mac. I get stuck with "Office for Mac cannot connect to the Rights Management Services server".

Couple of things that I verified before posting this:

1. I checked if I could go to https://fqdn/_wmcs/certification/certification.asmx
2. I followed the Information Rights Management in Office for Mac 2011 Deployment Guide.

I'm still trying to search for a solution but I figured, I can ask here at the same time just in case someone has the same issue and they were able to resolve it.


Thanks in advance!

How can I export a mailbox/folder from Outlook for Mac to a PDF?

New Mac Book Pro and Office for Mac 2011. In Office 2010 running in Windows 7, I can right-click to export a folder to a PDF. Is this functionality (even if it takes additional software) available in Office for Mac 2011?
