Ignoring all the other problems with using Outlook 2011, one problem I had and solved:
Having set it to use IMAP, I then set the Preferences - Accounts - Advanced - Sync IMAP folders every xxx minutes to OFF.
Which stopped it hanging every 5 minutes.

thank you! as soon as I did this, all of my messages came in! 😀
This worked for me as well, though I did have to restart Outlook 2011 Mac and then manually sync the IMAP account. But I’ll take it.
That fixed the problem here as well now it does not hang up anymore.
