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

    I have this issue with the outlook for mac desktop app.

    Perhaps a recent update caused this?

    When I try to send an email, it automatically quits and stores it as a draft.

    Then when i try to go to drafts to finish my email, it periodically does the same thing, and then i need to see how much it saved, and where to keep typing.

    Same issue on organisational account. Clearing browsing history and cached files/downloads seems to have fixed the issue as I can now open emails again. Thank you for this!

    I'm using chrome and after I clear all the browsing data - cookies and clear cache, it was fixed. My Outlook went to normal and working fine.

    Please try it.

    ... i am using Firefox and tried Brave Browser on Linux, using outlook.office365.com since ever,
    the issue is NOT resolved by this ... somehow we must urge MS to fix this. Its just not workable, but seems
    to get worse every time. Meanwhile the browser refreshes itself repeatedly without touching any key.
    MS should be sued for delivering such crappy software.
