You may get better response to your thread with this tip.
Removing an app icon from the Dock will have no effect on that app's files or folders, so your emails should be there. The Dock icon is just an alias (shortcut) pointing to the application. If you remove the alias, the app remains untouched. Try launching Outlook from your Applications folder in Finder.
I tried that and nothing I had to set up another account, this is a pain in the bum, I also accidentally lifted up my docs folder and poof gone how do I get another docs folder back?
Thanks for your reply.
Got it at long last, when you are not very good with computers its a bit daunting, I have sorted that, unfortunately I have to delete Microsoft off my mac and reinstall it, its a pity you cant put thew disk in and go over the existing software, I couldn't open my Microsoft outlook for my e-mails, bummer that,my god it takes a long time to delete out of the bin, any quicker way of getting rid of stuff?
Many thanks for your support, its a bit daunting using this imac for the first time, I have used windows since way back but this mac is very different, still I will learn by my mistakes (I hope)
I thought I might have been able to get my outlook e-mails back from Time Machine..did try but no luck, is that possible?
Yes, you should be able to restore them from TM. You are talking about Outlook for Mac, not Outlook for Windows, right? Running Mac OS X and not using Boot Camp or Parallels or VMware Fusion, right?Many thanks for your support, its a bit daunting using this imac for the first time, I have used windows since way back but this mac is very different, still I will learn by my mistakes (I hope)
Mac 101: Time Machine
Yep Outlook for mac 2011, I am just using Mac OS X taking forever to delete out of the trashcan could I reinstall MO over the existing one?
When I press the trash icon is only says open and empty the trash, is that because it is all ready emptying the trash, my god it is talking forever.
No, it always shows Open and Empty Trash. Look at the Trash icon to see if it's empty. If you have a large number of items being deleted, it can take a while. Just be patient and let it finish.
Then press and hold the Option key while you right-click on the Trash and select Empty Trash.
Between your Control and Command key in the lower left corner of your keyboard. It should say Option and Alt.
I pressed it and held the option button down and right clicked the trash bin and clicked empty but its still has stuff in there?
