The documentation states that "var $Timeout = 10 Sets the SMTP server timeout in seconds" and "this function will not work with the win32 version."

If you want a longer timeout value, simply set it to a minute (60 seconds) or so. If you are sending multiple emails through the same SMTP server, it may be beneficial to keep the connection open, but then remember to close it at the end.

If you do extend the timeout, also make sure that you increase the time limit on the script, or remove it all together:

<?php
    set_time_limit(0); // remove a time limit if not in safe mode
    // OR
    set_time_limit(120); // set the time limit to 120 seconds

    $mail                = new PHPMailer();
    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->Timeout       =   60; // set the timeout (seconds)
    $mail->SMTPKeepAlive = true; // don't close the connection between messages
    // ...
    // Send email(s)
    $mail->SmtpClose(); // close the connection since it was left open.
?>
