I have one IMAP account.

When I am in Asia accessing my account in the states, Outlook just hangs all
the time.

I wish that Outlook could cache changes and just show what is in the local
mail store while it is waiting to update the information.

Is there some sort of setting that could help things out?

I frequently (5-10 times per day) have to open task manager and shut down
the outlook process and restart in offline mode...

Thanks

Because of DoS concerns with the typically large number of subscribed
folders, IMAP connections are limited. I thought the limit was 4 per
server. If you have several accounts there are limitations over the total
# of servers and total # of connections.

I cannot get over how outlook cannot create concurrent connections to the
internet. It has to wait as one connection finishes or fails - and the
program just hangs impossibly in the process.

Any way to fix this?
