Sorry, I meant to edit my post with info for your connection problem but I got sidetracked.

Check the sticky below for advice about connection problems. Start off by making sure that you're only using 1 software firewall & that it's configured properly. If you're connecting via a modem/router, it probably has it's own internal firewall...the sections about enabling UPnP & port forwarding can probably help with that.
Connection problems? Check here first!

If you're still stuck, post back with your details as shown in post #2 of that sticky:wink:

I don't have any more ideas about your Outlook problem but maybe someone else here will be able to help you with that.
*What version of Java are you using?
