I'm running Outlook for Mac 2011 and my office reminders keep popping up even after I've dismissed them. Additionally, I'm also sending out new invites to meeting attendees, etc. apparently. It's something with the calendar syncing with the iPhone I think but am not sure how to fix / stop it. Help?
iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I support a lot of clients who use Outlook 2011. My first suggestion would be to clear the cache for your calendar in Outlook. It's easy. You do this by right-clicking your calendar(s) and selecting "Folder Properties". When the Properties window opens, click the Empty button under the Empty Cache section. This will clear your local copy of the calendar, and make Outlook download a fresh copy of all of your events from the server. I see this a lot. It's a synching issue in Outlook 2011. You can do this with all of the folders in Outlook (mail folders, contacts, etc). It's advisable that all users of Outlook 2011 do this frequently with large folders if they're on Exchange, Kerio Connect, or IMAP accounts. Outlook 2011 has some nice features, but I prefer Mail, iCal, and Address Book over Outlook 2011. They don't get corrupted, and they don't crash a lot if a user has a lot of email content. I hope this helps. I didn't want to redirect you some place else. The Microsoft forums have been a lot of help for me, but as an Apple Consultant, I've had to learn a lot about Outlook 2011 since it first shipped in Oct. 2010. It's really just a remodelled Entourage. It's still prone to the same old database problems that Entourage had, which is why I won't use it.
I have the same issue. Outlook 2011 for Mac running on an Exchange Server. The only reminders that will not dismiss permanently are ones without a due date. I have had success in making the reminders go away by selecting the reminder and adding a due date of "today" and then dismissing.
Hopefully this works for me as well. Just tried it.
I'll follow up and post the results.
I had the same issue, cleared the cache and after re-syncing my calendar the reminders were back. But then I noticed that all the reoccurring reminders were flagged for follow-up. Double-click each reminder, clear the flag and the reminders stop reoccurring... at least for me 🙂
I am having this issue with the 2016 version using Exchange, but, its a co-workers reminders, not mine, and i cannot delete them. They keep adding up each time I turn outlook on.
Did you ever resolve this situation? I'm having the same problem after installing Office 2016 the installer asked me if I wanted to import the data from Outlook 2011 and I said yes. Apparently this was a mistake.

This ^^^
Seems to be the least intrusive and worked just fine. This may be a good option if you have only a handful of these straggler notifications.
This also solved my problem.
Note : after clearing my cache of my exchange inbox folder (as suggested earlier in this thread) the mail downloading process is taking ages and am not getting any new messages visible in my inbox...
Clearing the inbox cache folder in other words did not solve the problem of removing the Outlook reminders, on the contrary it seemed have created another problem...
