i have office 2011 for mac. I did a migration assistant transfer from my time machines an everything came over to new computer except Outlook mail. I brought it over another way.. now outlook works, and gets and sends mail, but i can not do a SEARCH now. I love this feature and use it all the time.. please help me figure out how to get it back
Outlook uses Spotlight to search. And since you migrated, Spotlight needs to rebuild the indexes. When you move, the data does not get indexed automatically.
Run the followingcommand in Terminal for Spotlight to index your data: :
sudo mdutil -E /
Just to let you know, if you have large amount of data, this may take a while.
Hope this helps.
This is all great but there are major issues with search functionality and OS X Lion. I have reindexed my entire hard drive several times. I am have re-installed office. I have not removed office completely, re-installed and am not indexing my hard drive to see if it will pick it up. I need this fixed ASAP. It is a huge hindrance on my workflow.
I have a question. I have about 10 Smart Folders and somehow they have disappeared from Outlook. I know they are there but I don’t know how to get them back.
Do you know how?
Thank you.
I have recently moved to Office for Mac2011. I have many folders on Outlook where I save my emails. I do back up my documents through Time Machine but not sure if the folders with my emails are being backed up. Where do i look to find them?
