macosmicrosoft-outlook-2011office-for-mac
I have a user that just bought a brand new MacBook Air and put Office for Mac on it. He's trying to connect to our Exchange server where he has a ~17.5 GB mailbox. The inbox starts downloading, gets to 699 items with 199 unread and Outlook crashes. Does Outlook for Mac just not like huge mailboxes?
Also, are .ost files stored on the Mac like they are in Windows?
Use raw queries. For flagged or unread mails:
(com_microsoft_outlook_flagged = 1) || (com_microsoft_outlook_unread = 1)
Important note: Do not use this folder with the "mark as read immediately" option, as seen here:
This results in a continuous mark as read -- remove from view -- show next message -- mark as read cycle, until everything is marked as read and you have no idea what you've now missed. Instead, I've switched to the 2nd option displayed that marks as read when you select a different message.
The only way I've found is to right-click on the message in the message list and choose View Source in the popup menu. This will open the full source of the message, including headers, in a new TextEdit document.

There is a limit of attachment size (10MB) with Outlook 2011 on Mac. You might be hitting that by the looks of your problem. It's entirely possible to change this setting on an Exchange server, even 2007.
