I’ve been using Outlook 2011 for Mac for the past week as my primary email application. It works quite well for email — except for one initial problem. When new email arrives in my Gmail account, my iPhone detects it and beeps almost immediately, but Outlook won’t recognize it for many minutes later. Use IMAP IDLE if the server supports it Use this preference to set a server connection schedule. If this preference is available for your e-mail service and you select it, Outlook automatically updates your IMAP folders continuously. IMAP IDLE eliminates the need for you to run the Send & Receive command for the account. Outlook 2011 for Mac will ask you what you want to backup. On this screen select Outlook for Mac Data File (.olm) and Items of the following types. Then select the types of items that you want to back up and click the right arrow button at the bottom of the window.
