Outlook 2013 Pro frequently crashes and intermittently deletes email

How can I fix this?

I've tried repairing without success from: Control Panel/Programs and Features/Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.

I've tried re-installing, disabling Auto Archive and Microsoft Office Communicator, and running in Safe Mode without success.

I've now enabled logging following this: http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/300479#appliesto

The same error keeps coming up for the Spooling Cycle:

When the program crashes, it shows as Not Responding for 30sec to 1min, saves my daily draft email in Drafts, and deletes any email stuck in the Outbox.  I know when it will delete the email now because it sits in the Outbox for too long.  If I hit Send/Receive the application will crash and delete the email without sending or moving it to Deleted Items, Junk Email, my OST, or any other folder.  The 2nd time I lost the daily email (showing tickets I've worked on), I saw the problem about to occur, copied the email, but was unable to paste it to Word or Notepad after Outlook crashed.  It cleared my Windows clipboard as well.  Of course, since enabling logging it hasn't crashed to show me what's happening (2 hrs, usually would have happened by now).

Hi

Is your office 2013 installation fully patched? have you tried disabling the add-ons in office or running in safe mode? Does it crash there as well?

Running third party software is not an option on my work computer.  I've done all but using command line switches.  The Windows Application and System logs do not show any events.

Yes, I have all updates.  As mentioned in the description, disabling add-ons and safe mode did not help me to find what the problem is or prevent the issues from occurring.

Removing my .OST from my personal, network drive (H:) resolved the problem.  It must have been latent connecting off the local machine.  Disabling the auto-archive didn't help.
