Outlook Errors - Fixing Time Out Messages

For many people there is nothing more frustrating than getting errors in their Outlook/Outlook Express. I have talked to people who have taken an hour to do a simple 2 minute email just because they kept receiving Outlook errors.

Generally Outlook errors are fairly simple things to fix so I will begin over the next few weeks to write some posts that will assist you if you are having trouble with Outlook errors. Today I will talk about a simple fix you can do if you ever receive a time-out error message.
