Outlook Mac 2011 Can’t Sent-Receive

24. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,

I have a problem with installed version (14.4.2 140509)  of Mac Office 2011 Outlook running on iMac OSX 10.9.3:

1. Initially, about a month after installation, I found that I could not send outgoing emails (replies or new compositions) and that the outgoing emails simply disappeared--i.e. didn't appear in sent or outbox.  The problem was intermittent and now is constant. When attempting to send an email I get error message alert-

-The server for account “Outlook” returned the error “4.7.0 Temporary server error. Please try again later.” Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect. Would you like to try re-entering your password?---Despite checking password and multiple tries, nothing works. NOTE that the application works at Outlook.com web version and also works if I use the Mac Mail application...

I tried changing port to 587 with 'override port checked

2.  Now, when using the Send/Receive command on the ribbon, I get repeated Outlook alerts--
"An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic"

In Outlook prefs I have the info for account email and password (triple checked) for incoming port 993

Outgoing smtp.outlook.com port 25 (and tried 587)

checked boxes override and use SSL to connect

I see others on the site and a few others seem to have trouble with Outlook mail being sent without hangups--is there a systematic error that can be corrected?

Is there any assurance that a re-install from the CD with fix the problem?

Should I just revert to Outlook web?--that would seem like a waste of the installed software but could do it.

Thanks for any advice--I'm out of my depth with this one.

When I turn on the computer it says activate Outlook. Problem is that I haven't purchased it. And now I can't turn of the computer because of it. When I start it, I can't close it. How do I get it away? 

PS I have tried preferences > accounts. And it is in Norwegian. But you get the picture.

Import PST file to Outlook for Mac 2011 yields only empty folders

I’m trying to import an Outlook 2007 PST file from a PC into a Mac running Office for Mac 2011. The process takes a while and then reports “Outlook has finished importing your data” but all I get are empty folders. None of the emails are imported but the folder structure is correctly imported. The PST file works perfectly within Outlook 2007. The PST file is 5Gb.

Outlook Won’t Sync after Sleep

When I wake up my MBP from sleep, Outlook will not atomically sync.  It used to.  Now I have to quite Outlook and then launch again.  Outlook 2011 is fully updated, as is my MBP (Running Mavericks).  Thought?  Used to work just fine.

Outlook 2011 Redownloading entire gmail account

12. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

So this has happened twice, and my blood pressure honestly has doubled.  I bought a new Macbook Pro yesterday, and repurchased the Office for Mac 2011, since my 2008 version was outdated.  When I set up Outlook, all 65,000+ messages from my Gmail account started to sync.  I called tech support, and they told me I have to deal with it. Fine. So after all the messages download, I went and filtered through all of them on my Outlook, and deleted close to 30,000 over a process of 4 hours.  

Now every time I open my Outlook, it starts to re-download all 30,000 messages I deleted.  I changed my gmail settings to POP, as a different thread said might help, and so I patiently waited as it re-downloaded them all, thinking maybe I just have to do it with POP enabled.  So the 30,000 downloaded again, and I deleted them all once again.  Go figure, Outlook is still trying to resync my inbox and downloading those 30,000 emails again.

If this honestly doesn't get resolved by the end of the week, I will be getting a refund and the last nail in the coffin for Microsoft products in my life with hammered on in.  I've liked Entourage/Outlook in the past, and would like to continue using it, but it is beyond ludicrous that Outlook would sync 30,000 emails I delete, every time I delete them.  What's the point of having Outlook if that happens?

Thanks for your help.

Turn off Outlook in website responses

I use gmail for email, but when I try to respond to an Internet site through email (when the site says, for instance, 'contact me'), Outlook starts up, tells me I don't have a profile, etc.  I want to turn off Outlook without affecting other Msoft Office products.

How to backup data to reopen later – Outlook Mac 2011

04. June 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hi All,

My Outlook data storage is now sitting at about 20GB..

What i want to know is can i copy the entire Microsoft User Data folder to another drive and reopen the Outlook identity at a later date if needed ?

I know on windows i could just copy the .pst file, of course this doesn't exist on the Mac.

Once copied i can then delete a heap of stuff i don't really need current access to on the Mac..

However I want to be able to access all the emails quickly in the event i need to.

Thanks.
