I had an Internet connectivity problem and had to take my computer offline. When I started Outlook
I got a message from the tray icon saying Outlook could not reach the server and would be working
offline. Then it turned into a different icon and the mouse over tip says "Microsoft Outlook is
synchronizing folders."

Outlook is "Not Responding". The status bar says "Send/Receive Status 60%".

Is there a problem using Outlook offline? Why does it say it is synchronizing folders when there
isn't anything to synchronize them with?

If I kill it it just reopens and hangs again.

Is there a way open Outlook without an add-ins getting loaded (in case this is a add-in problem)?
 
You don't say what O/S you're using so:

Start > Run > outlook.exe /safe

Vista: Start > Start Search > outlook.exe /safe

Note there is a space between outlook.exe and /safe.
