I know this one.  Goto your server and access your e-mail using explorer or
whatever.  Then delete or save all the e-mail from the server that way.
Make sure its completly empty and then test your outlook by sending yourself
a test e-mail.  It worked for me.  I was running around in circles thinking
I had to re-install outlook but it was just a crappy e-mail I got.

Let me know if that works.
