||| 4. I have created a NEW profile. This did not help. I did not

||| 5. I have created a .PRF file using the Custom Installation Wizard.
||| No help here either.
||| 6. I have run the Detect and Repair option of Outlook. No help.
||| 7. I have checked with the customer services departments of both
||| ISPs. They both indicate that the problem is with Outlook, not with
||| them.

| Sorry, I did reset the server timeout for each service to 3 minutes
