I had this problem once with Outlook Express whenever I write
tell application "Outlook Express"
CheckMail()
end tell
it would timeout. So I tried
try
activate application "Outlook Express"
on error
end try
tell Application "Outlook Express"
activate
CheckMail()
end tell
it wouldn't timeout. not sure why, but I hope it helps anyway.
