I have spent my valuable time editing/composing an email, I add contacts to the message, then outlook 2010 stops responding and I loose all my work. This is a message that I have received from one of my contacts and I have edited the contents of the email and get ready to send. This happens frequently.

What does it mean "stops responding and I loose all my work"

Do you have reset your Outlook, or message dispirited?

When you edit or create message - you have temporary email saved in Outlook drafts folder.

Mine does the same thing.  I just get an email partially written and it quits responding and I lose all my work.  I have to start all over again.  I have started typing in word and copy and past into my email, so I know I won't lose my work.

I suggest you to create a new outlook profile and then check. May be your Outlook profile is corrupt.
