  1. Outlook inherently uses Internet Explorer to help render web content. Although the 2011 version of the client relies heavily on mapi integration to display data, increasing the maximum number of connections for Internet Explorer can help mitigate performance issues. The KB article listed below contains a “Fix It” to increase the maximum number of connections for Internet Explorer:

  • Change timeout on connection:
  • Locate the TcpTimedWaitDelay key in the registry:

    Hi Alex,

    Any ideea if there will be an update to be able to connect to the Office 365 organizations, rather than CTP ones where we use WLID?
    currently, I have tested and it looks like it’s not possible.

    Thanks,
    Tudor
