I see this little gem is still around, after years:

   When I try to compose a new email I get a message that pops up and
   says... "A dialog box is open. Close it and try again."  What is this
   refering to?  How do I close this "dialog box" because I do not see
   any box to close...

With an MVP (Most Vociferous Person?) to tell 'im:

   We cannot see your screen from here so it is hard to say.

   Anyway; Tools-> Options produces a dialog box which has to be closed
   before you can do anything. Another dialog box that has to be closed
   before you can do anything is when prompted for a password in
   Outlook.

   Windows Logo key+M minimizes everything and shows the Desktop, press
   Outlook on the Task Bar and usually any open dialog boxes will reveal
   itself.

That's some user interface MS Outlook still has.
