3) Does you have a PST? If so, what is the size?
4) Are there any error messages/numbers?
5) Have you checked the application event viewer for any Outlook or
Office-related errors? If there are, what are the Event ID number(s) &
source(s)?
6) What troubleshooting steps have you taken yourself, so you're not told to
take steps you've already tried?
