Email Issues

Try and open outlook in Safe Mode

1. To start in Safe Mode, you can hold down the CTRL key when opening Outlook. (Keep holding it until message appears), or Click Start, In the Search or Run box, type outlook.exe /safe and press Enter
2. If Outlook is slow or locks up whilst in Safe Mode, then it is very likely that an Add In could be causing the issue. In Outlook, click File, Options, then click Add In’s. At the bottom, where it says “Manage”, click Go and in the next screen, remove the check marks.
3. Disable all your add-ins. After this, you can start Outlook normally again and see if it works now. If so, you can enable them one by one until Outlook fails again. The add-in you last enabled is most likely the cause of your issue. Uninstall or reinstall this add-in.
