Sandboxie blocks RSS feeds in Outlook 2010

A change in the version of Internet Explorer that I use in Windows 7 (64-bit) has eliminated my ability to receive RSS messages in Outlook 2010 when it is sandboxed.

Nothing else changed. Within minutes after completing the upgrade from IE 8 to IE 11, I ran Outlook 2010 under Sandboxie, just as I had a thousand times. This time, however, and every time since, I found I did not receive messages from any of my RSS feeds. Looking at the Send/Receive progress details, I found messages like the following for each feed. "'Synchronization to RSS Feed . . . . has failed. Outlook cannot download the RSS content from . . . . because of a problem connecting to the server.'

There's no doubt that Sandboxie is preventing the connection, because when I open Outlook without Sandboxie, the RSS messages are retrieved without any problem.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or how to fix it?
