Running Outlook for Mac 2011 under Mavericks on a Macbook Pro.
Outlook is set to send and receive every 10 minutes. This action requests the ISP to download anything it may have accumulated in its inbox, as it should. Periodically, it can go for hours just putting a timeout message in the error log for each request, along with an occasional “cannot contact the server” or words to that effect. The rest of the time it behaves normally, downloading what it has every 10 minutes. It hasn't always been this way. It seems to have started just recently.
I'd like to think that it's the ISPs fault with some weakness at their end, but I don't honestly believe that. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start at this end.
Any pointers?
