Hi there,

I've set up Mail on my Macbook to access my outlook.com account, as per the instructions here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-email/how-to-set-up-mac-mail-to-sync-your-outlookcom/afdfe981-20c7-4d4a-b6b1-9329b27f018a?tm=1379009343708

Whenever I try to move a mail to the trash or to archive an email, I get the error message:

The attempt to read data from the server “imap-mail.outlook.com” failed.

Or:

The connection to the server "imap-mail.outlook.com" on port 993 timed out.

I'd be grateful if anyone could shed some light on how I might solve this problem!
