I'm guessing one of those two processes might be a send/receive attempt, set
to occur at startup, and that something is blocking or stalling it.

Go into the mail settings in Control Panel and turn off the option to check
for mail at startup. See if this gets you into the program. You may then be
able to figure what the problem is.

A lot of issues like this are corrupted Office user registry. Exporting (for
safety) then deleting the section may clear the problem.
