Emails are received with delay using microsoft office on mac

Hi,

I just bought a new macbook air and added my hotmail account to my microsoft outlook on mac. Now I face the problem that I have to wait 15 minutes for an email update since I otherwise get the notification: "exceeded the login limit for a 15 minute period. Reduce the frequency of requests to the POP3 server." So changing to a repeating schedule every 1 minute doesn't work.

I used outlook on my pc before and never had this problem. I always received incoming emails within the minute it's been sent.

So is that a outlook mac problem? And is there anything I can do so that I get my new incoming emails without much delay? I am using it at work and therefore need to reply quickly.

Any help would be much appreciated! Joe
