I have a MacBook 3.1 with OS 10.6.8 Leopard with MS Office 2011 installed.  I had so many problems with Verizon email that I changed over to a gmail account.

Outlook crashed after the 14.6.1 update.  Now Outlook cannot open.  At first Outlook provided the message that there was a Daemon Error and that it had to close. I notified Microsoft of the errors several times. Now, after several efforts and advice from others, on line, it doesn't open at all.  Just a flash of the icon.  What are my options to fix this?  Luckily I have backed up my data on a weekly basis.
