Hotmail Accounts give "Timeout Occured" ERROR

Using Outlook 2002
The Server Timeout is set for 10 minutes. We added two Hotmail accounts in
Outlook, but clicking Send/Receive returns the following ERROR message for
both accounts more often than not:
"Task 'GreatScotInLA-Hotmail: Folder:Inbox Synchronizing headers.'
reported error (0x800CCC19) : 'A timeout occurred while
communicating with the server.'"
The Send/Receive operation usually takes less than 30 seconds before giving
the ERROR message. When both Hotmail accounts are set up in OE 6.0 they
work perfectly nearly 100% of the time. What is it about Outlook that
doesn't work as well as OE with additional accounts such as Hotmail
Accounts?
 
For whatever reason, Outlook 2002 doesn't seem to support more than one
hotmail account for most people. It does work for some, but we have no idea
why.

Thank you for a straight-forward, honest reply. I appreciate that much more
than a "political-spin" answer using technical programing language. You're
right; it worked fine untl the second Hotmail Account was added. OExpress
works nearly perfect for more than one account.
