IMAP account issues in Outlook 2007

[Harsha]

Hi, i am facing couple of problems while accessing my IMAP account using
Outlook 2007
a ) The account keeps going offline very often and cant receive or send mails
b ) Sometimes when ever a new message arrives in my inbox I get an error
message saying " Cant display the items in the reading pane. Please open it
to read ". But when i try to double click and open nothing happens.
Need to know is there any problem in using IMAP account or if it is
something related to Outlook 2007. FYI i use a gmail server for my mails.
Thanks

Sounds more like a connectivity issue. I use gmail (and other IMAP servers)
with both Outlook 2003 and 2007. Outlook isn't the world's best IMAP
client, in my opinion, but I've never experienced what you describe.
