Email Addresses Cluttering Up Exchange Contacts List

10. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,

I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 with an Exchange Online account hosted through Office 365. Every time I send an email to anyone through Outlook for Mac 2011, their email address is automatically added to my Exchange Contacts list, cluttering up my Exchange Contacts list with a bunch of random email addresses I don't want in there.

Is there anyway to turn this feature off? 

This is also happening for emails I send through OWA in a web browser or the OWA apps for iPhone and iPad.

I'm having issues joining the Office 365 Community, but working to get my account going there so I can post over there as well.

Thanks!

Renaming individual emails in outlook – Sync issue up to exchange

29. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,

I believe I have come across a sync issue with outlook for mac 2011 but I'm looking for some confirmation...

 

I have a user who renames the subjects of his emails to help with searching for them again later on (simple enough). However it looks as if these changes do not update to the exchange server as when I log onto the mailbox via OWA or windows outlook, the subjects are all the originals. I've tested changing the subjects via windows outlook and OWA and the changes do replicate to all platforms. Seems to be yet again another outlook for mac flaw, has anyone come across this?

 

Thanks

-18597 (403) connecting Outlook Mac 2011 to Exchange 2010 SP3

04. December 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hello, I have a problem with my new Mac. I am trying to configure my exchange mailbox on my Mac but I keep getting the same error.

 

This is what I have done:

- configured Apple Mail to our exchange server settings (this works; the email, calender etc is retrieved)

- access the OWA via the internal .local domain and the external URL (this works)

- tried to use the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer and using our OWA url this all works fine (I cant test the .local url since this is an internal domain)

- configure the server address (the .local domain) in outlook and this doesnt work. I keep getting the -18597 error.

- I have turned on outlook error logging and this displays a 403 error

 

We use exchange 2010 SP3 and Mac office 2011.

 

I find it very strange that OWA works, Apple mail works but outlook doesnt

 

I have read many posts before on using a different NTP time server and changing the computer name of my Mac but this didnt work.

 

Anyone any idea?

 

Thanks, Bart

Copy a recipient list from Outlook 2011 into an Outlook Web Access (OWA) Group

23. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
Contacts in Outlook Web Access used to give you the option of dragging recipients from a folder containing contacts synchronized from Outlook 2011 to the Exchange (Office 365) server. This worked in Sarfari and other browsers. Now there appears to be no way to create a contact in OWA (Office 365) in browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer except to type or paste a name or part of a name and either add the address manually, or find an individual match for one name in the cloud address list. Is there any way to add multiple recipients to groups in OWA for Office 365 if you aren't using Microsoft Internet Explorer to display OWA?

Group Contact and OWA

What's up Group!

We created a Group in OWA, and it appears to be working great!
But for what ever reason, we are not seeing this Group in Outlook on the Mac. In our Exchange profile.
It refuses to download to the client. We are force to log into OWA to use this newly created group.
Anyone know why that is?



Outlook for Mac 2011: Mail not synced up

01. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: ,
We have a user with Office 2011 SP3 installed. We have Exchange 2010 SP2. He uses OWA and also syncs his iPhone. When he deletes mail from his inbox in Outlook, it's still in his inbox in OWA and still on his phone.

We tried emptying the cache and it did not resolve the problem. He doesn't seem to have any connectivity issues to the server.

We also tried moving his preferences to the desktop to test that, it didn't seem to help either. This worked on his iMac for a long time and broke about six months ago.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting are appreciated.

Outlook web access and Macs

I can't seem to get our OWA to work on our Macs.  We have four of them and none of them are able to access OWA.  All of our PCs work just fine.  It doesn't seem to matter what browser is used.  Is there a Mac setting that is stopping them from being able to access OWA?  The message I get is that site is unavailable or some similar version of that depending on the the browser I use.

Limit calendar or calendar sync duration to 2 years

I currently sync my office 365-OWA to my microsoft outlook 2011 (mac).  I have also synced an organizing program called curio to my outlook 2011 through iCal. 


A problem came up in that any think that was an all day event or event a present holiday, like new years day would duplicate every time it synced in an exponential manner.  

  In order to work around this, I deleted all of my all day events from all calendars up until 2014 and this work.  However, every time it I open and sync accounts, it is exponenentially duplicating previous and future events beyond 2014.  


Is there any way to stop this?  Either by limiting the dates of syncing calendars or just limit the time period of the calendar?  (I do not need to currently keep a calendar after 2014 and it would be great to archive my old calendar, instead of having it continuously resync and eventually crash my computer.)


Doing this either through OWA or outlook 2011 is fine...I just need it to stop.


Thanks,


Howard


OWA Tasks As Attachments Not Available In Outlook 2011 v14.2.3

12. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Since updating Outlook 2011 for Mac to version 14.2.3 opening Task attachments from OWA is not working any longer. Some of our users use OWA to attach a PDF and an OWA Task. Since the update neither attachment is available in Outlook 2011. Remove the Task attachment and the PDF is fine. But if the Task attachment is there then the Task attachment does not display and the PDF attachment is grayed out. Users of Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.1.4 and earlier have no problem with the attachments. I believe this problem started with the 14.2.2 update and I have reproduced it on Mac OSX 10.6.x, 10.7.x and 10.8.x. Any idea's? Thanks.
