Usually its due to a message store corruption issue. Try deleting
folders.dbx (hidden). See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#7

Hi all, last week the charger on my laptopp exploded as I was opening
outlook
6. Now when I open outlook it goes no further than connecting then it
freezes
up completely. I have tried to delete it and reinstall it from control
panel,
I have treid to download it hoping that it will overwrite the existing
program but nothing has worked so far. I just am not sure where to go
next,
can I delete outlook completely and reinstall, or is there some kind of
repair program I can use? All the repair programs I have found just repair
files not the utility itself. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!!!!!!!
Cheers, Paul
