    @danzrc88 @Outlook @Microsoft Tried this in my laptop, I switched to a VPN and it resolved immediately, likely an IP throttling or network issue. If you're stuck, give VPN a try. Before that clear all cache cookies from the browser and use the Outlook Web instead of the Outlook application.

    "If @Outlook (and windows more generally) can detect issues, why can’t they clearly identify the problems and provide relevant solutions? Typical @Microsoft & @Windows oversight! 4/4
