Microsoft Outlook 2010

Hi, today, I opened my Microsoft Outlook 2010 and found that all of my emails are frozen.  In other words I can not drag and drop to different folders.  All mail comes into Outlook from my Google account and I recently made some changes in Google (added Google Docs) and I wonder if while I was doing that I could have accidentally hit the wrong key somewhere within Google mail. I have had two accounts working this way for about a year and this has never happened.  
Is there something within Outlook that would cause this?  I need to be able to move incoming mail to specific folders.  Thanks in advance BTW, I use Windows 10.

Sounds like possibly a corrupt .PST file. You could:

1. Delete it and download your email again, assuming a copy is kept in your Google Account.
2. Restore from backups.
3. Try to fix it with Outlook's  Scanpst tool. (it is possibly in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14), depending on your system).
4. Try a 3rd party PST repair tool. This is a bit of a desperate measure, generally if Scanpst can't fix something , another tool can't either.

After updating Windows and Google, it seems to be working okay for now.  I don't know how that happened but hopefully it went away.  Thanks to all
