I can't open Outlook.  Worked fine earlier today.  Getting a message that there seems to be a problem with Outlook but when I check status, it says it is running normally.
When I open Outlook it has started consistently opening to a new message window which has  the address of the  last person I sent an email to.  I have to cancel it to see my inbox, but the next time I open up Outlook, the same new message is there instead of my inbox.  I have cleared my cache, history, and cookies and logged completleyl out but it still continues to open up in this new message window instead of my inbox. I even sent that message out, but it was back again when I opened Outlook.  How I can I get Outlook to open to my inbox instead of this message?
Hi I am experiencing a similar problem (most recent Outlook with updates installed, and os is 10.8.5).

Every time I open Outlook I almost instantly have a pop up window that says:

"Microsoft Outlook must be closed because an error occurred. Any unsaved work may be lost."

I don't know the error code as one isn't displayed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I cannot access outlook hotmail / live.

 

is the service down or what?

I am able to access Outlook fine but my partner gets the following message:  Cannot start Microsoft.com.  Cannot open the Outlook window.  The set of folders cannot be opened.  The outlook data file C:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst was not cleanly closed by the last programme that used it.  It cannot be opened until repaired. 

 

Can anyone help?

 

 

When I open outlook I keep getting a message telling me to have a security code. Microsoft cannot send me this code because they have the wrong email address  how do I get my correct email address to them

After I open Outlook I can get maybe the first and second message to open and then nothing. I click on the messages and nothing happens. I have to close down Outlook and go again and repeat this to read all my messages. This occurs on all computers I have access to.

 

 

I shared a document file from skydrive, now the person I shared with can view all of my skydrive files and open my outlook mail. How can I stop this from happening? As long as I am not signed in to outlook nothing can be accessed, but I can't stay signed out all of the time.
When I login to Outlook.com it opens with the email view.  I wish it to start with the Calendar view.  Would you please tell me how I can do this?

Hope you can help.

When I open Outlook I have to hit send/Receive and then hit send/receive again to start downloading new messages. That's the way I want it.  But now, as I'm reading the downloaded messages and dealing with them, new messages keep coming in and I lose track of what I looked and what's new and coming in automatically. I'd like to have outlook download new messages ONLY when I tell it to and not just constantly when Outlook is open. Anyway to do that?  Outlook 2010 running on Win 8 Pro.

Thanks,

Steve
