I bought a new computer yesterday, and now when I try to set-up Outlook on my computer it displays the error as follows: “The limit for logging reached while waiting for system resources. Try again. MAPI 1.0 [000004C2]”. I tried to set up Outlook by going through Control Panel’s Mail option. I tried many times but I am getting the same error every time.

I have set up Outlook 2013 (but not perfectly) on my new PC. The problem is that, when I open Outlook and immediately start working on it then there is no problem and no error is displayed. However, when I open Outlook and wait for some time to start working on it then the client displays the following message:
