If you do not have an Exchange this means your email is being delivered to a personal folder.  May want to run scan on your personal folder to rule out any possible issues with it

First determine where your personal folder is by doing a search on *.pst.  Make a note of the path as we will use it later

Now do a search for the scan tool scanpst.exe.  Once this comes up open it.  Now browse to the pst file and run a scan on it

Once this is done - we will go to the next step - unless this resolves it of course

Also, suggest running a detect and repair on Outlook.

Finally have you made any changes (updates) to your system since this started

Respectfull
