Well, I don't have Emacs installed, but if an application is grabbing focus, it should grab it from anywhere, unless it's a problem with Emacs. I've pulled up five different applications that either *do* or *don't* use the keystrokes you mentioned locally and tried to get Outlook to intercept them--it stubbornly refused to catch focus.
The fact that it's an intermittent problem leads me to believe that it has to do with 3rd party software running, but I could be wrong.
You could try turning Jabber on and off, and ICQ on and off, and see if it happens. These are programs that are designed to be 'intrusive'. I came across this problem because the keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop are the same as for ICQ, but ICQ intercepts them... hence 'grr... ICQ.' By the way, if the ICQ toolbar appears in Outlook, I believe you at least partially have ICQ running.
