Outlook Error - 0X8004210A, 0X800CCC19

I’m having troubles sending / receiving emails. I get some of the following errors:

The operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server 0x8004210a

And / Or

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server 0x800ccc19

How would I be able to fix this, so that my Outlook works correctly?
