Outlook loses sound

20. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: hardware, lion, Mountain Lion, music, NOT, Outlook, sound

Using the latest version of Outlook and Mountain Lion. Usually about 2-3 days of using my Mac Outlook loses its sound and the only way to restore it, is to reboot. This is NOT a hardware problem as I am able to play music in iTunes and MOST other apps. Perhaps this may be a OS bug, or it may be that I need to re-install Mountain Lion. What do you say?

keep getting Mail could not be sent error code -8796

13. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: error, error code, error message, lion, mountain, Mountain Lion, Outlook, smtp, smtp settings

I have outlook 2011 for mac. I also have mountain lion. My email works fine, but this error message keep popping up even though I can send mail without a problem.

I've tried changing my smtp settings according to the help I've found here, but I cannot find this particular error code: -8796.

I also have lion on my laptop, with the exact same account set up and am not having any issues on my laptop, just my tower.

What can I do to stop the unknown error alert that keeps popping up every time mail is checked?

Thank you.

Cannot delete emails from inbox even though account has been deleted

05. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: Account, inbox, lion, message, Mountain Lion, Outlook

I have tried to delete all messages for an account I no long want in outlook, I have been left with 60 message which will not delete either by clicking delete or dragging to the deleted items box. I have deleted the account and have not accounts in outlook, I want to delete these emails before I add another account. I have rebuild the database but this did not help. I am using Outlook 2011 and Mountain Lion all are updated.

I have just recovered the use of my Outlook for Mac after I reinstalled Lion OS. I have 3 copies of PST files which show up as contacts. I made several changes the other day, and when I pulled them up today, the changes weren't there. How can I merge, or backup these PST files into one Database of contacts?

Thanks for all your help so far.

Outlook 2011 and Spotlight search not working

27. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: forum, HDD, lion, mountain, Mountain Lion, office, scratch, Spotlight

os x 10.8.2

outlook 2011 14.2.3

have tried pretty much tried every suggestion i've found in this forum, and numerous others.

i've rebuilt indexes a dozen times, triple-checked spotlight config, checked permissions, verified disk, reinstalled office 2011, checked for the MS mdimport plugin, reinstalled mountain lion from scratch (aka. re-partition and install). same result.

last known working config: latest Lion (not Mountain Lion) version, Outlook 2011 14.2.2.

HDD crashed, replaced HDD and OS (to mountain lion), restored MUD from backup and problem has existed since.

my IT dept (who i've found friendly but unable to help) have only indicated that they've "seen a few cases of this problem since ML was released, and that a rebuild from scratch is the only way to fix it".

the problem is, as i've stated, i did the rebuild and that hasn't changed anything, just wasted another day.

must be a bug is what i'm thinking. unless someone far better than me has found the cure?

how do we know if MS is working on a bug fix?

awesome-est part? i partially trashed my exchange inbox mucking around with outlook exports n imports n stuff.

but anyway, i'll be happy just to get my search mojo back. its not till its gone do you realise just how much you use it.

gurus, heeelp!!!!
