Outlook window migrates

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but here goes. I run Office 365/Office 2011 on a Mac Mini. The only consistent problem I have is that when I leave the computer for, say, lunch, or to run errands or what have you, I almost always return to find that the Outlook window moves in such a way that to return it to center screen I have to shut it down and restart.

I run Outlook continuously, usually maximized. When I return to the computer after an hour or two, the window almost always has shrunken to a quarter of the screen and is locked in the top left of it, so far to the top right that I can't access the x - + buttons. When I drag the window to the middle of the screen, it immediately jumps back into the left corner.

Any idea what might be causing this to happen?

Thanks.

My Outlook window automatically maximizes when I right click an attachment

Hi there,

I am having a really weird problem. In Outlook when I receive a message with an attachment I like to right click (2 finger click) to select 'save as'. Every time I right click on an attachment my Outlook window resizes itself to fit to the screen. Even if it is already maximized it resizes to maximum again.

Please help this is driving me mad.

Thanks, George

when clicking on the ‘Search This Folder’, Outlook becomes unresponsive

What's up Support!

 

I'm getting complaints from my users when they click on the 'Search This Folder' field (upper right hand corner of main Outlook window)  In Outlook on the Mac to search for email and the SPINNING BALL OF DEATH begins. Outlook then becomes unresponsive forcing the user, at times, to FORCE QUIT Outlook. WHICH I HATE!!!!

I've been able to recreate the problem myself, on their workstations, but with a little patients Outlook eventually becomes responsive.

We're New Yorkers. Thus... no one is patient here!

 

I can't seem to figure out whats causing it.

 

Can someone point us in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

cannot see my tasks in outlook

Hello,

I use Outlook 2011 (v14.2.3) and access an Exchange server. This works fine for almost all items except my tasks.
When I access the exchange via an outlook for windows with the same credentials, I can find my tasks there.

In the first step, I tought the Identity db was corrupted and I recreated it. But this did not work. After that I deleted all the Micosoft userdata and resynced
them from the exchange. But this did not change anything.

When I take a look on the hard disk, I can find the tasks:


/blabla/../Microsoft-Benutzerdaten/Office 2011 Identities/xxx/Data Records/Tasks/0T/0B/0M/1K

There are several files, when I click on one over the finder I can few the task in a outlook window. So the information seems to be available.

Now, I'm at the end and did not have any further ideas what to proof. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

thx.
ciao
