Just to make sure.
Are you using an Exchange account with that profile or only pop3/imap accounts?
Any addons that have been installed in Outlook?
Many addons don't work properly yet with 2013 but they work with 2010.
Does it take a long time when starting Outlook?
Splash svreen shows but there is a waiting period before the status messages are shown in the splash screen?
Negative. Nevative. Negative. Negative. Negative.
It's not the connection with a Microsoft Exchange Server. There's no addon.
This isn't a major deployment, it's only for a single individual who has been using Outlook to link to their work email (using IMAP/POP3 and SMTP). Problem is that we're moving from a desktop to a work laptop because he's going to be travelling a ton in the next year. Unfortunately this also meant moving up from Office 2007 to Office 2013. I had to move the Email data files + contacts into it.
Now what I did so far is export the entire account (in Office 2007). Once I imported the account to Office 2013 I was getting that error message above. It apparently ranges from corrupted data file, to communication error (afaik), to contacts error issues, or something else I don't remember right now. When I gave the person the laptop it worked. Well now it doesn't and they're complaining. I want to think it's something they did, but can't be too sure.
