Why do I get this message repeatedly when I try to open Microsoft Outlook all
of a sudden whereas before I never got this message. The message I get is:

The data file '(e-mail address removed)' was not closed properly.
This file is being checked for problems.

This is usually caused by some extraneous device or application that IS
keeping the pst file open. Do you have a hand-held device or mobile phone
for example that syncs with Outlook?

Often caused by an add-on that you installed into Outlook. Exit Outlook and
load it in its safe mode which does not load any enabled add-ins:

outlook.exe /safe

Then retest loading and exiting Outlook a few times to see if the error
appears again.
