If you are typing a lengthy email and MS Outlook crashes or you accidentally deleted the draft, then entire emails will be gone. Emails are the most sensitive part of the daily routine. Losing your email archive and address book would halt your work until the email database are restored.

After system restart, you were not able to open the MS Outlook application itself. You may get a feeling that this problem is encountered because of Outlook corruption.
If your Outlook file gets corrupted, then it won’t even allow you to access or open the emails or other items from MS Outlook. There are several reasons for Outlook file to get crash, some of the generally occurred scenarios are:
- The Outlook might get crashed while upgrading your MS Outlook to a higher version
- Improper or abrupt termination of MS Outlook may cause corruption to PST file
- Outlook application might get crashed after re-installing OS
- Virus or other deadly threats attacks on system can cause Outlook crash
