If you are consistently getting the Error messages as shown above, it is a connection issue on your end entirely. Double-check your firewalls, security program, and setup: you may need to power down your computer and reset your router (if you have one) by disconnecting it for at least 1 minute, reconnecting, and then powering back up. This also allows Outlook to "Save & Set" your settings from the last session, and should now be part of it's standard operating procedures upon startup.
