Outlook 2003 spammed - now won't open

[dbr1600]

Outlook was spammed by over 30,000 E-mails and now I can't open it on any
computer to delete the E-mails. I am running Outlook 2003 on XP. All other
office 2003 functions work and I don't want to lose my files. Can I
reinstall Office 2003? Will that wipe out all of my excel and word files?

Reinstalling Outlook will not affect any Office files but it also won't
solve your problem. Use the Mail applet in Control Panel to add a new PST
to your mail profile, then make it your delivery location. Start Outlook
and it should start normall. You can then try to move your old data back
into the folders where they belong.
