Solution
Solution 1:
The Outlook process was already running (in memory) when you started Outlook. Please perform the following (or alternatively, restart your computer) to confirm if this is the case.
- Close Outlook
- Select Ctrl-Alt-Del and go to the Task Manager
- Select the 'Processes' tab and see if a process called 'Outlook' is listed. If it is, select the process and hit 'End Process'
- Restart Outlook
Solution 2:
If the OnePlaceMail Add-In has encountered a problem Outlook may mark it as Inactive and Outlook will not attempt to load it from then on.
In Outlook 2010 you can access the "Inactive Items"
