It doesn't terminate even after that, if I don't kill the process it keeps
checking my email and storing it in Outlook so I can't get any emails on my
home computer. It's real annoying that way.

If I then go back to my work machine and startup outlook there will now be
2 outlook processes showing in taskmanager. That first process is
definitely what I would call a zombie, other than kill there is now no way
to terminate it.
