How do I fix trying to contact the server message when I'm readin.

[Janetd]

For about a week now when I'm reading email a message puts up from Outlook
saying "Trying to contact the server......" and sometimes it just does this
for quite a while and than all of a sudden it works fine. Never had this in
the past - can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix it. I appreciate the
help. Janet
