I am repeatedly getting Outlook 2010 errors, mostly the "IMAP closed the connection", see attached. This all started with an upgrade to new processor/motherboard along with Win7 pro 64bit. It happens any time.,before, during, after just receiving an email. Not when the machine's been idle for...

OK, thanks. No problems now, but have filed for future reference.

That did it. the actual deletes on the server are virtually undetectable now. Thank you!!!

OK, thanks. just made the change. it will take a day or so to see if any difference. I may have it set this way before seeing the lag but did not understanding the settings.

Hi Diane, Since moving to Outlook 2010 IMAP with iCloud vs 2010 with Pop3, I find when deleting email there's a 10-15 sec lag on the 1st delete, whether it's one email or 5 selected, then subsequent deletes "only" take 1-2 sec. With Pop3 it was virtually immediate. it's not the PC since it's...

We may have an apples and oranges disconnect here. I have no menu item in the Ribbon, nor a right click option to create a group contacts list. I did discover a painful and torturous work around, however. 1. Cut/paste the contacts from Contacts iCloud to Contacts in My Contacts. They now...

In Outlook 2010, I knew how to create a contacts groups before converting to IMAP and iCloud. Now the "New Contacts Group" menu item is gone when I'm clicked on my iCloud email account. If I click on Contacts in My Contacts, it reappears but the My Contacts folder is empty since everything is...

Finally got contacts and calendar syncing with iCloud! Problem was the iCloud add-ins in Outlook were disabled. No idea how that happened and they stubbornly kept going off after each OL shutdown-restart cycle, but after running OL as admin, they stayed on. Then could run OL as not admin and...

OK, here's another oddity. One display (see attached) shows the correct (actual) default data file, and the one in fact where new mail lands, and in another display it shows my old pop3 data file as default and it won't let me change it in that particular display. Wanted to change it so I can...

OK, Calendar is imported and all looks good but still no sync with calendar or contacts on icloud.com or iPhone. Wife's iPhone/Tab is syncing with Dell laptop fine and in fact I get updates on her shared calendar but only on my desktop. When I finally successfully did the import, it only...

OK, thanks. I deleted the icloud acct with no repercussions and contacts now squared away, now on to the calendar. An import of calendar.pst from last week gives the error attached. I also selected "Outlook Data file" and that just spent 30 min dumping it into a folder called "Calendar"...

I've shot myself in the foot messing with my Contacts folders, so could use some clarification on how things work. Fortunately, I had a backup. With Outlook2010, I have multiple accounts as follows: a) The original POP3, currently has no Contacts folder. No idea where it went; Maybe I...

Hmmm... it's working now. I clicked "+" at bottom rt of the icloud.com calendar screen to add a dummy entry and suddenly the calendar became populated. I had added a dummy event on the laptop and it propagated everywhere including icloud.com, so I guess it works and deleting the unwanted...

I had other iPhone/iPad centric questions anyway, so wanted to go. So.... I deleted the empty calendar on icloud.com and it did what I feard it would. it cleared all data from the other calendar. Fortunately the data remains in Outlook and on the 2 "i" devices. ??? The situation: calendar...

Re/ the red query above, visited the Apple Genius bar today and was told to just delete the offending/blank calendar. A few posts ago (above) I asked for a link to info you provided on various iCloud/Outlook problems. I think this is the one I was thinking of...

While syncing seems to be working now and the comingld data is gone, some questions linger: The laptop Outlook2010 that syncs with an iPad/iPhone has 2 calendars: one populated and named "Calendar - iCloud" and a 2nd that's blank called "Calendar from iCloud" which I do not want to use; the...

For syncing "i" devices with Outlook, do you know who's the "master" and who's the "slave"? That is if I delete a contact in Outlook, will the cloud replace it back on the PC, or accept the deletion as the right answer. Conversely, if I delete a contact at icloud.com or on the iPad, will Outlook...

Got it ... finally. Thanks. All well on the cloud now, thanks for help! The root cause? Thinking I could get by with just one iCloud acct. for 2 people.

ok, thanks. I believe I finally have this figured out. What started this mess was using just one iCloud acct., mine. This polluted all devices and the cloud with my info merged with my wifes. Now fixed after multiple iterations of cleaning up each device with syncing turned off. You raise...

(Repost due to timeout on edits) In trying to get iCloud squared away on laptop (wife's acct), I now find CONTACTS folders in her Outlook2010 changed and/or added to as follows; MY CONTACTS CONTACTS - empty SUGGESTED CONTACTS - contained 4-5 contacts not in icloud folder one below...
