manager]. i have to restart the computer and everything
is fine [outlook.exe locked up]. i have tryed leaving
virus protection off. I created a new profile for email.

Try a selective start up (start-run-msconfig), if you have never used this make sure you know what you are doing, this could cause some problems if you uncheck certain things. Also I would probably set the server timeout length to more than one minute. You can do so by going into your email accoutn settings, clicking on more settings and choose the advanced tab and the option will be there
 
Hi

I have the same issue and attempted to alter the server timeout to 2 minutes. BUT, when I restart Outlook, server timeout has been returned to 1 minute.

Where do we go to make it a permanent change?
