    No, I don't believe anyone has received a reply from Microsoft. What's more, I don't anticipate anyone ever will. I think Microsoft's statement that they no longer support Win 7, means they won't be putting any resources into fixing this problem. They will make far more money out of forcing Win 7 users to upgrade, I guess those of us for whom an aged PC and Win 7 has been entirely satisfactory up until now, will either have to upgrade our PC and operating systems if we want to use online Outlook.

    A maybe option if one really wants to defer W10+ is to use Gmail. That works fine in Chrome without STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW on my W7 PCs. I.e. one might use Firefox to redirect future incoming Outlook mails to Gmail, & use Gmail for new emails. Problem is how to deal with heaps of old Outlook emails. We can't assume that Firefox will work forever on them.

    This is a lost battle. I will probably upgrade to W10 soon, nuisance as that is.

    I tried dowloading FireFox and it said it does not support Windows 7. Anyone else have that problem?
