Abnormal exiting of e-mails and program in Outlook

[madcroatian]

Over the past several months, Outlook has increasingly exited the program
while just trying to exit an e-mail, and often won't allow me to multiple
select e-mail messages for deletion or moving to a folder without opening
each one selected. no rhyme or reason to how many messages selected or when
it does it. Problem seems to be gradually getting worse. Virus or glitch?
All virus software functioning well. Getting very annoying.
