How to get Microsoft Outlook?

Have you opened up a conversation with Microsoft? My Office 2011 distro contained Outlook.

 

When using apple's Mail program, do you have the "send windows friendly attachment" option checked?

In the edit menu > attachments > always send windows-friendly attachments

 

Outlook is included in the Business version, not home. There is no way to add it afterwards.

 

Ouch! I bought Office a couple of years ago and I don't think it was anywhere near $250. For some reason $99 comes to mine, but that may be my old age playing tricks on me.

It's available from Microsoft for $219.

And Amazon has it for $170 via electronic download.

If it were me I'd figure out why Mail.app isn't including attachments and not spend the $$ on Microsoft product.

 

Of course it's not legit. Why do you even have to ask?

 

You might try Thunderbird for email, if Mail.app isn't working for you.

Another alternative: GyazMail -- or even (the now discontinued, but still working) Sparrow.

 

Within Mail, select File/Attachments>Send Windows Friendly Attachments.

 

FWIW, Outlook for Mac is borked on Lion and Mountain Lion. Specifically, you can 't import mail from Lion/Mountain Lion Mail into Outlook. Microsoft has refused to fix the problem.

 

Mail OK for Me

I use Apple Mail with an exchange server, and have not had issues with attachments. Have been using for a couple years now with a 4 gig mailbox with minimal issues. I actually have outlook installed but never use it as I prefer the apple mail. Like others have said you might want to just see why attachments aren't working

 

I'm not sure this option is still available, but you used to be able add Outlook to H&S version for $99.

• Open Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook), and then on the Word menu, click Purchase Options.
• On the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant screen, click Purchase an upgrade product key online.
• Purchase an upgrade product key by following the instructions online. You will need to be connected to the internet to purchase.

How to Upgrade Office for Mac Home and Student 2011 to Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011

Considering that Outlook 2011 is now 3 years old, you might want to use the O365 subscription model.

Outlook 2011 is not a stable product. If you have POP accounts, stick with Mail.

Some email hosts provide Outlook for free. That's how I got it. You'd need to calculate whether it's cheaper to sign up for one of those plans than to buy the business version of Office.

 

If you work for a large corporation or are a university student, you can normally get Office very cheaply. I work for a 50,000+ employee company, so we have a lot of Windows machines and Office licenses, and we get the benefit of the Microsoft Home Use Program, and I got the full Office 2011 for Mac for $22



May be worth checking out. It comes with Outlook, but I don't use it.

 

Doesn't have to be large company. We have 1,000 employees and access to HUP.

 

Before shelling out the extra money for a buggy Mac release of Outlook, give Postbox a try. I've been using it for about a year now and really like it a lot. It's only $9.95 and there's a 30-day free trial.

This is the link to add Outlook to H&S version. It's still $99.

Might be for US only.

 

I bought office 2013 key from this web store and they delivered it quickly. I needed to exchange them though because they were too small. Everything went fine. Very nice service, I recommend!

 

You might have a problem with Office 2013 on the Mac - that version is Windows only.
