gemfyreAfter looking through files I discovered that my inbox, containing about 100 messages, was as large as my deleted box, which contained almost 3000 messages.
Conclusion, some e-mail was coming that is fucking huge and making Outlook freeze (mail was coming in, I just wasn't able to view it because the view window would never load and the program would freeze).
In the end I have saved a copy of the inbox in another folder and deleted it (saying bye bye - hopefully temporarily - to 100 useful e-mails that I never got to read). That worked, Outlook works normally again.
Now I just need a geek who somehow can manage to view the old e-mails on another computer or something and delete the offending spam so I can have my useful mail back again and actually read it.
