Using Outlook for Mac 2011. Can't send or receive emails. Have checked settings for the POP account. Settings seem OK. I changed my password a while back-- if this has anything to do with the problem, I would like to know. My ISP is Charter Communications. Charter maintains it's an Outlook problem. When I open the program, there is an attempt to connect with Charter's server, but it times out. However, the email is accessible on the Charter site. Also I can receive and send from Apple's Mail program, but it's not my designated default mail program; Outlook is what I have always used.

QUESTION: If I delete my Outlook account and recreate it. will all my saved, categorized emails in folders in the side column be deleted as well?
