There may be something wrong with your mail profile, or your database.
Either may be referring to a folder that no longer exists.
You could try the creating a new mail profile in Control Panel|Mail
and selecting that when Outlook starts.
BCM will then prompt you to create a new BCM database or connect to
the existing one.
Create a new database.
Restart Outlook with the new profile.
If you don't get the error messages, then there was probably a problem
with the original profile or database.
If no errors, with the new profile, switch BCM to use the original
database.
Restart Outlook with the new profile.
If you don't get the error messages, then the problem was probably
with the original profile.
