Hi

Outlook on Chrome browser on Mac.

Outlook keeps refreshing the page every time I'm trying to do something - type an email etc. It's just started doing this and I have no idea why?

How is this resolved?

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Email

    Have you resolved this? Same issue on Mac using Chrome. Just started yesterday. Works fine on Safari.

    I am having the same issue on an organizational email account on Chrome. I have tried clearing my cookies and cache which initially helped before reverting back. I'm able to use properly on Incognito mode, however - which again makes me suspect an issue with cookies and/or cache.

    I have the same problem with constant refreshing on Firefox on PC.

    I also had the issue on a Mac with Safari.

    No issues on my Android mobile app.

    I would love a solution as my email is basically unusable to have to type everything on a phone screen.

    I am having the same issue.
    I cannot open a draft email or try to compose a new one or the whole browser page just refreshes multiple times then I'm back looking at my inbox again.

    I see a bunch of CORS ajax errors and we are using the Microsoft hosted Outlook so there is nothing we can do here.
    The calls are so aggressive I'm even seeing rate limit responses from the server on top of an array of various 4xx status codes.
    I see these errors happening a bunch trying to call https://outlook.office365.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.json/v1.0/{email_address}?Protocol=ToDo 

    The error notes a CORS error from origin https://outlook.office.com which is very much a Microsoft issue and is causing users to be completely unable to use Outlook.

    Maybe Microsoft should actually test releases and not just give vague crappy responses to support questions....
