Not necessarily.

Why do you think that? Do some of your accounts take more than 5 or 10
seconds to connect? I don't think any of them would need 225 seconds, and
that means you'd wait over 3 minutes for a failing connection. Why not just
try it? You can always change the value again later.

In fact, setting it to 5 or 10 seconds might well answer your first question.
