In short, Outlook 2011 for mac is rubbish!!! Only certain network, more the ISP, Outlook stops connecting to my outlook.office365.com account.
Here is a lengthy overview of the problem that still exists.

To get around this I have managed to log onto a slow WiFi connect that allows Outlook to connect. Unfortunately though the speed of the WiFi connection is not good enough for my daily activities on the web (WebEx, VoIP etc) as well as connecting to local file servers.
So, I though it would be a good idea to force certain IP ranges to go through the WiFi connection which would allow Outlook to connect and all other requests for local and external connections to continue through ethernet.
I successfully added the following to my routing table which, using Little Snitch, I can confirm are the IP ranges being used by Outlook.
sudo route -n add 157.56.0.0/16 -interface en0
sudo route -n add 132.245.0.0/16 -interface en0
My routing table then looked like this:
132.245 - link#5 - UCSc - 7 - 0 - 1500 - en0
157.56 - 60:3:8:9b:1:a8 - USc - 5 - 0 - 1500 - en0
Everything seems OK but Outlook still fails to connect, any help would be much appreciated.
