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

    Constant and durable BUG from Microsoft Outlook.

    MS keeps to have bad product and don't debug them.

    Properly inusable ! Dependant from MS and my company choice. Totally abandonned about having basing working tools (a email editor...)

    Blocked in a stupid bad tool NON-usability.

    Seriously : A refresh every 2 minutes, constantly stopping draft editing !

    SOLVE IT !

    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.

    This only seems to fix the issue temporarily.

    It seems to be a Microsoft issue rather than browser.

    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!
