Jim,
I see this is the final post to & from Bruce so I don't know if you helped him or if he got so frustrated that he gave up! I was  hoping to find out before attempting to repair my Office installation because it sounds like I am having the very same, or similar problem, only with Outlook instead of Excel. I have been using Office for months, close to 6 months, without problems other than the occasional "busy Server" but now it crashes after about 10 seconds. The only difference was that I had added Outlook.com as an email account (i was using it at work) but shortly after I removed it & went back to my Gmail).

The begining of my error report is:

There is a lot more - it goes on for 30 "threads". I have noticed some reference to CFRunLoop NLCreateConnectionHTTP, CPopConnection, NLDisposableaddress, CImapConnection, CImapSyncMapEntry, etc. I can copy the entire report if needed.

I have tried moving my Identities to my desktop without success but that is it. Could this be a simple issue with my email addresses? Do you think uninstalling, then reinstalling & adding the email accounts from scratch would eliminate the problem? If so, I suppose I would need to uninstall All of Office, not just Outlook, correct? I appreciate any guidance you can provide!!
