In that case, I suggest switching to another e-mail client.
Personaly, I use Mozilla Thunderbird cince when i used Windows 98 without any problem. It's a free download from:
https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/
Available in most languages.
After installing, you'll be asked if you want to import your Contacts/Peoples list and messages from outlook.
Agree to the importation and you are good to go.
