I was hoping to use this in my dept at work to keep emails managable but I can't find the chat function.
I recently synced my Exchange email with Outlook 2011 on my work computer and my name is not always correct in the From line of an email.  The Outlook I'm using has been synced with other email addresses from previous employees and I have deleted the old accounts, but the From line has the name of the person who previously used this computer.  For example, I will send an email and the From line will say "From: Previous Employee Name <my email address>" instead of my name. 

I've deleted the old accounts from Outlook and I'm not sure what else to do to fix this error.
I had some work done from the outside of my home by Verizon and I can receive and send emails.   However, when I send an email I cannot
find it in the "sent" file.   Same with the "deleted" file.  

Tried to restore them following the directions, but it did not work.

Thanks

We just got a new computer at work.  It now has Window Live Mail instead of Outlook.  All our contacts from our Outlook express transferred, however, so did my personal Hotmail Contacts.  I do not want my personal contacts mixed in with the work email contacts.  How can I stop this.  Are they linked?
I receive e-mail which contain hyperlinks to many retailers and traders associated with my line of work and I am unable to access their websites by clicking on the links. A message appears, which begins, "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action..." It then instructs me to either install a program or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. My WLM was fine yesterday but today it's not. Help! Please?

This issue started about a week ago. If I ignore all the known issues with Outlook 2011 since moving to Mountain Lion, I would say Outlook has been running fine until last week. I couldn't see anything on the forum that was similar to my issue. I have also posted this to the Apple support forum.


Here's my computers info:

  • OS X (10.8.2(
  • Processor: 3.1 GHZ Intel Core i5
  • Mem: 12 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3
  • Office 2011 Version 14.2.5


Here's the issue:

My work email is set up in Outlook 2011 version 14.2.5 using IMAP. I go through my day as usual reading emails, responding to them, and filing them away in folders (on the server). I can go through 100 emails in my inbox to only 10 by the end of the day, all have been read. Emails that are no longer in my inbox have been either read, responded to, filled away and/or deleted. I am able to receive and send emails with no errors. However, once I leave work and view my emails online or on another program (such as MacMail), I see those 100 emails still in my inbox! I see no pattern to it either. (The most recent email in a conversation has been marked as read but several earlier ones were not).

The strangest part: All those emails I filed away in folders on the server or deleted are in those folders AND in my inbox. Therefore, if I refile the emails, or delete them I will have duplicate emails in those folders. I've tried repairing the folder but that only put the server inbox back into my outlook but I still can't make any changes that show on the Webmail. We've also rebuilt the identity and that didn't do anything.

If I make any changes in Mail (On a different computer that is on Snow Leopard) or on the web, I just sync Outlook and it shows the changes in Outlook but it won't show any of my Outlook changes in the webmail.

 

Essentially this is the syncing issue: 

Other programs --> Server --> Outlook = OK

Server --> Outlook = OK

Outlook -x-> Server = NOT OK

 

I'd like to reiterate that this started last Tuesday (Nov 20) and I can still receive and send emails just fine and no email has been lost.  Our IT can't figure it out.
