Idiot that I am, I am always closing the 'window' by the 'X' by mistake.
Many progs have a safety 'are you sure' and quite a few more give you the
option requiting 'file, exit' to close the prog. Closing Outlook causes me
to lose syncs and updates for other progs. You would think I would learn. I
haven't.

For corporate users there's an addin that reliably prevents you from closing
Outlook accidentally. Please see OLKeeper here:
