Windows 10 And Ms Outlook 2003

Getting 'Send' issues.
This has just occurred after a period of working as well as it did in Windows 7. It may not be Windows 10 related but that is my suspicion.
I don't think this is a single question but three.
a) Any ideas what to try to fix Outlook ? (Some time back I seem to recall using 'detect and repair' on the work's PC and it screwed things up royally by deleting some file that was vital ! Won't trust that any further than I can throw it.)
b) If I was extravagant enough to update the excessively priced MS Office to a recent version, which one has Outlook yet doesn't require me to have anything to do with untrusted "cloud" nor has money-grabbing subscriptions demanded ?
c) If checking out free alternatives does anyone know what might be fully compatible so nothing is lost on changeover ?
I may see if I can find the original install disks later and reinstall, but it may be a while as I am nervous it'll delete data or something. It would be just typical.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the last important patch updates MS made available.
I suppose I'm just looking for ideas/options at present. Meanwhile I can only send e-mails from the providers website (via the browser).

I'm also on W10 and using MS Office 2003 and use Outlook to pick up my emails and sort my calender.
I have found that Outlook occasionally forgets my email password. Happens about once a year and not specific to a particular email addy. The only answer I found that worked was to delete that email account in Outlook and then re-create it.

Humph !
It looks as if creating a new folder and moving across a couple of years' worth of e-mails to it, then closing and reopening Outlook, seems it may have fixed it. Just had a test e-mail go !
Why does it not just say there is a problem with the number of e-mails in the file ? And why did incoming still come in ? Why aren't things designed to be simple/obvious/instinctive ?
