I can't seem to connect on or off network to a brand new exchange server from a fresh install on a new mac... painful.
I get the error "Unexpected data was encountered" error code -17997 and not sure if I can really say much more.

Mac Mail works fine (to boot), and I've literally copy-pasted the user, server, etc from one to the other and outlook is still not functioning.

Anyone else? Is there some special "mac setting" that needs to be enabled on the server?

Running: Mountain lion, MS office for Biz, all updated and current. Permissions repaired, etc on my MBP-r.
Since a May upgrade, I am unable to receive any mail at my @mac.com accoun†.   Outlook set up seems to correctly point to this account but shows a yellow light in the selection panel.  It is the only account that is available in this panel.  The message in title above shows down in lower righ† corner when click on yellow alert sign.  beside the words Not connected to account.  Continue to receive this error code.  
I have configured multiple accounts in outlook for mac 2011, and surprisingly emails are not getting received in one of the accounts since this morning. Can anybody please help?
Thanks

I just bought a new Macbook Pro with MountainLion.  I just bought the MS Office 2011 for Outlook.  I just registered for a new email domain from GoDaddy.

I get nothing but errors including:

* Outlook cannot connect to the server.  Verify that your computer is connected to the network.
* An unknown error has occurred in Outlook.
* Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed recpthosts.

I have tried EVERY combination of POP and IMAP servers that were provided and I am getting nowhere.  I exhausted all support at GoDaddy...I exhausted all support at Mac and now I try to get some help from MS.

This is for work and I need it up and running by tomorrow...ugh.

Any insights will be appreciated. (please note: I have tried every recommendation on the first 30 support blogs on the first 30 support sites on the web for this..and still nothing.

Thanks!!
When I'm creating tasks with outlook 2011 for Mac, I cannot see them in outlook tasks. I only can find them again in the Apple reminder Apllication.
Is there anything due to iCloud? can somebody help me?
thanks
outlook (2011 office for mac version) pops out this error message, which stalls my ability to use outlook. 

it constantly asks me for my password, and although it gives me the option to save it in the keychain, it never does. 

this error keeps occurring since the latest two office for mac software updates that i diligently downloaded and installed. 

i reset the identity earlier today and the error still occurs twenty minutes later. 

any thoughts on how to deal with this? MS only offered their support after charging me $49 for a one-off troubleshooting over the phone... needless, to say, i am trying not to pay that outrageous fee. 

thank you for any suggestions.

Have Office:mac2011 installed on new Imac running Mountain Lion upgrade. Major problem with Outlook. No matter what command I use I get a "unknown error" information message. Powerpoint, Excel and Word word as advertised -- but Outlook is useless. Any workaround?
