While I can't reproduce it myself (because I probably don't have the right mails in my exchange) looking at your log I think that I see the problem there might be an issue with the error handling in openProperty. So for old mails the openProperty probably fails because we have exchange online for that and the property is not yet available in Outlook and then the error is not correctly handled and it crashes.

I don't think this crash is a new regression in 3.1.5, or is it for you? Does it also crash if you disable memory debugging? There is a Problem with the debug code there and your log shows a crash in the debug code.

I've uploaded a binary with this fixes:

You are right that Outlook behaves normally if debugging is deactivated.
I had major problems with 3.1.4 and never used it until 3.1.5 came
along, so I guess it might be an existing problem.

Ok. If you can confirm that then it means that my analysis is right. Still unexpected to get an error there. I have to do some more tests with Exchange Online but that would be another issue. If this issue is fixed by turning of debugging then it will also be fixed by my patches.
