Cannot add columns in Outlook 2011 for Mac

11. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Hi, I'm trying to add columns to Oulook for Mac 2011 and cannot seem to do so.

I'm running on a MacBook Pro with Retina Display OSX 10.8.2.

In the items list, I want to add columns To show "From", "Subject", "Date", and "Size"

Right now It just shows the "From" on top of the "Subject" with the date on the right.

When I go to the "View" Menu, "Columns" is grayed out and I cannot select that item.  I'm sure it's just something stupid I've done, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
John

Hi,

I recently had a crash of my MacBook Pro and had to format and reinstall all of the applications. Fortunately I had a backup disc of all of the Data including the Microsoft User Data Folder in Documents. I now want to import all of my old emails back into Outlook 2011. Kindly help me with the steps to complete the recovery of emails into Outlook.

Regards,
Sri

Outlook receives messages but won’t send. Error message is "an operation timed out."

This is happening on both my MacBook Pro and my iMac.  I have been to the Apple store 3 times in the last three weeks to try to resolve.  I have called Comcast, the internet service provider.  They claim it is not them. My family uses PCs and are not having any problems.  Any suggestions?

Since upgrading to Mt Lion on my MacBook Pro the following is happening:

Takes almost 3 minutes for Outlook to open.
Won't send emails immediately per preferences.
Doesn't send all emails puts some in Drafts.
Only gets Gmail and ignores Yahoo
Generally works slower than Outlook on a PC.

Is this at all common to anyone else?

Keyboard freezes while typing

I have a user running Outlook 2011 and Mountain Lion.  He was recently upgraded to a new MacBook Air from a MacBook Pro.  He'll be typing in Outlook or Word and the keyboard will randomly freeze up.  He doesn't notice it because he looks at his fingers when he types.  This apparently was happening on his MBP (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) as well.  It appears to only happen using Office 2008, specifically Word and Outlook.  I'm not sure what preference was carried over from the old machine that may be causing this.  Has anyone else had this issue?

Odd Scrolling Behavior in Week view in Calendar

22. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
Environment: 

  • 15" Macbook Pro with Retina
  • OSX 10.8
  • 24" LCD Monitor connected via HDMI cable (macbook is  closed so that the external monitor becomes the primary display - I think the Mac term for this is clamshell mode)
  • Outlook for Mac 2011 14.2.3 (120616)
  • Latest installed Update: 14.2.3
  • Outlook is connected to Exchange Server 2010

How to recreate the problem: 

  1. Open Outlook 
  2. Click on Calendar
  3. Select Day, Work, or Week as the view
  4. Appointments appear as expected
  5. Now Attempt to scroll up or down
  6. Expected Result: Calendar view scrolls properly and after stopping the scroll motion, everything is legible.
  7. Actual Result: Imagine using a brush and a can of paint to write a perfectly shaped word on a wall. Now before the paint drys, slam your hand on the word and smear it all around the screen. Kinda hard to read now isn't it? Yeah, that's what happens. I have a screenshot of the problem if that doesn't make sense. 

Not very useful workaround: 

Disconnecting the HDMI monitor and using the laptop without an external monitor resolves this problem. What's odd is that this problem just started a couple of days ago. 

Note that no other apps on the Mac experience this problem and all other features of Outlook are working properly. Scrolling in every other app works as expected. 

Any ideas on how to fix this one? It seems to be getting worse by the day. 

New MacBook Pro – New MSOffice 2011 for Mac – New Email (from go daddy) – Can’t SetUp

16. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
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!!
