When using the task later, just select and copy a unique phrase out of the body of the task (recall the task body came from the original e-mail) and paste it into the Spotlight search field (with one of your mail folders active) that should allow you to find the original e-mail. But, assuming you save or file your mail, you can easily find that e-mail later to get at those attachments-here’s how. First, since tasks in Outlook 2011 cannot hold attachments, if there are attachments in your email, they will not convey into the new task. This is pretty simple and this significantly relaxes my objections to using tasks in Outlook 2011.Ī couple caveats though. Rename the task to be more action oriented, and then be sure to set the start date, Priority, and other fields, and save it. A new task opens with the e-mail title as the task name, and the e-mail body in the body of the task. (See this post if that script is missing).

With a message selected in Outlook Mac 2011, simply open the script menu at the far right end of the menu bar (see left-it looks like a small scroll) and choose Create Task from Message. I am not sure if I missed this before or if it turned up in a recent update, but it pretty much solves the problem. Well, it turns out, there is a predelivered script already in my current copy of Outlook Mac 2011 that enables this.
I had heard then there were ways to write an AppleScript program to do this, but I did not want to subject my readers to doing that. To fix this you’ll have to recreate your Mail Profile.In my article on Outlook Mac 2011, I complained that there was no easy way to convert e-mails to tasks in Outlook 2011, which greatly diminished the power of the task system there. When the Outlook Address Book service has already been added and the option to select the Contacts folder as an Outlook Address Book is still disabled and greyed out, it means that the Outlook Address Book service is corrupted. Your default Contacts folder should already be selected and is not removable. You should now be able to select Contacts by using the Address Book. To do so right click the Contacts folder and choose Properties-> tab Outlook Address Book-> select option Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book. If the Outlook Address Book service is added into the profile you can make any Contacts folder (so even the additional ones you may have made yourself already) show in the Address Book.
Make sure that the Contacts folder is marked as an Outlook Address Book
Make sure the Outlook Address Book service is added to the Mail Profile.This guides lists the two things you’ll need to check and set correctly, and offers a solution in case that fails. When trying to use the Address Book to address a message to a contact, you could find that the contacts from your Contacts folder aren’t listed.
