Outlook For Mac Emails Not Showing In Folders

1 Jan 2000admin

Apple Mail is the default email client that comes with every Mac using OS X 10.0 or later. Q: Emails sent in Mail do not appear in my Sent Folder, why? Example: I use Outlook (IMAP) at work, my iPhone (POP) when I'm at business. Now, I have many folders created in my Outlook account and rules to make the emails be moved to their respective folders when they hit my Outlook inbox, so what I really want to know is if there is a way for Mail to show unread emails even if they are in an Outlook folder and not only in the Outlook inbox.

I am attempting to import a large (5 GB).pst file created in Outlook 2007 for Windows into Outlook 2011 for Mac. When I view the file in Outlook 2007 I have a large number of messages at the top level (e.g. At the 'personal folders' level in the picture below) as well as a single Sent subfolder into which I've manually sorted messages I've sent. I've followed. After importing I can see the Sent folder, which seems to contain all the messages it should, but at the top-level Personal Folders is empty and none of the other messages are in there.

Why are the other messages not being imported correctly? Real-time follow-up From Windows, I created another Archive folder and dragged all the content from the top-level into that subfolder and re-imported. Same result: only a single Sent folder and none of the top-level messages.

Hi I hope you can help I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with Outlook. The mac run out of battery. When re-charged and re-started all outlook folders and email have gone. I can't go back on the time machine as its in Australia and I am now in the UK for the next month. And the servers that I have the email on aren't organized into folders its just 200,000 random historical emails as well as a older historical email from an old work email that I no longer have access to their serve to reinstall.

If you have any ideas please let me - I'd be very grateful. All the best Miranda. I'm surprised that after more than a month, no one has responded to this! I have a new 15' MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.1. How to make absolute cell reference in excel for mac.

I'm also running Outlook 2011. It has been working pretty well for me. But, tonight I updated my Lion software (3 new updates were loaded). When it rebooted all of my Outlook files, folders, mail, distribution lists, contact lists, etc. So looks like there is a serious bug in Outlook 2011. Surely others have had this problem.

It is really serious. I don't know how to restore the files using Time Machine.

I have current backups of my system on Time Machine. I'm afraid that my only hope is to get them from Time Machine. I recently imported all my files from my Windows 7 PC (several years of email files, folders, distribution lists, etc.) and the import was successful. I didn't like the way it imported the distribution lists, but they were there. Now, I've lost it all. It doesn't even have my msn.com account information. Can someone tell me how to recover these files.

Please, someone respond to my request as well as the one I'm replying to! When you have a hard crash, the system might put files into a hidden folder called 'lost+found'. • Under the 'go' menu, select 'go to folder'. In that dialog, enter '/lost+found' (without the quotes).

• If there is a lost+found folder it will open, if not, you will get a 'folder not found' error. We don't normally see reports of lost data after a battery lost power so not sure what is happening on your system. Normally, when data goes missing it's user error. Most likely you have accidentally moved your data. Hopefully, you have not deleted the file.

If you have deleted the trash, it's gone. Outlook stores your data in this location: ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/your identity If you move the Main Identity, Office 2011 Identities folder or Microsoft User Data folder to a different location, Outlook will create a new blank Identity.​ Another possible culprit is your anti-virus application. Some versions identify a virus within the database and puts your database into quarantine. You will need to read the directions on how to release. To find your old database, search for 'Microsoft User Data' (without the quotes).

You can also search on 'Office 2011 Identities' or 'Main Identity'. The best place to get help with Microsoft Office is on Answers.

I was able to go into Time Machine and replace the data folder with one a few days before I had the problem.
