Default Is there an option in Outlook '03 to confirm before closing?

Many times I will inadvertantly X out of Outlook and will have synch issues
when I restart immediately. Is there an option that asks "Are you sure you
want to close Outlook?" I know there is an option that asks to confirm before
permanently deleting messages, but I haven't found one that will allow you to
abort closing Outlook. Any ideas?

There is no such option, but if you add an unaddressed message to your Outbox,
when you try to close Outlook, it will warn you there are unsent messages in
your Outbox and ask you if you want to close anyway, with a 30 second timer
that will close Outlook if you don't respond before the timer ends.

A better approach for companies is OLKeeper, an addin for Outlook. For
details see the link in my signature, please.
