For Outlook Anywhere 2010, several connections will be opened and closed throughout the user's session, and Outlook will keep using whatever credentials the user most recently entered. After the OTP replay window expires, Outlook's new connections will fail, and the user will see a pop-up dialog requesting new credentials.

So the length of your OTP replay window will effectively determine how long a user can use OA before needing to enter a new OTP and their password into the authentication pop-up. Set the window long enough so as not to be overly annoying, but short enough to mitigate the threat of an attacker recording and re-using the credentials later. For example 30 minutes (set as 1800 seconds) is a reasonable session length, but 8 hours would probably be irresponsibly long.

Outlook 2013 and newer seems to do a better job keeping existing connections alive.
