Could be a corrupted .pst file.
- First make a copy (just in case), then compress/compact.
- If no luck, try one of the shareware Outlook repair programs that says they can fix corrupt files.
- Or see if one of your backup copies works. If so, that might be a basis to continue after you imported recent mails from (the copy of) your current file.

Thanks for the reply Kees. Outlook strangely corrected itself but if it occurs again I will try your fix.

Thank you
