Have you considered hibernating?
... instead of shutting down? Power consumption is the same as shut down (except if you routinely switch 'er off at the wall, saving all of 2 watts.) Not only is the start up tons quicker, but you also obviate the irritating Outlook messages - and, yes, I've had 'em too.
I have now - tried this for past 4 days and still get 'Data Corruptions'. Not all are associated with powering off laptop either.
