How to fix Scheduling poll Issue?

Recently started using scheduling poll after Find Time was removed from Outlook. As someone who sends the poll, the process is a little lengthy and annoying, but otherwise--seems to provide me with the same things Find Time (i.e. notifications when people vote and quick scheduling option). My issue has to do with the users of the poll who are unable to vote as needed.

I was informed recently by a user who voted on a poll that when they clicked the link to vote, they were brought randomly to an outlook inbox and the poll was nowhere to be found. I had them do this in front of me and it did seem to just pull up an inbox in OWA, but no poll was found. This individual is using a mac; however, that is all the information I have regarding their device.

I cannot begin to trouble shoot this because I can't understand what is re-routing them to an inbox.

    I fixed my client's looping issue by doing a similar step for the web version of outlook.
    Switched the browser setting to "Custom"
    and then added 'https://outlook.office.com ' to the exceptions list,
    closed the browser, pulled it back up again.
    Now instead of looping to the inbox, it pulls up the scheduling page.

    Microsoft can make simple things screwed up - sadly so many universities and companies have been adopting officde365 and products with bad results in my opinion. Microsoft screws things up regularly. They do not give us the choice of how we want to work with the tools, but in the way they think you should use it. For example I would like to separate my calendar (want it on outlook) and prefer another email tool - but a few years ago Microsoft decided that people can use both calendar and mail on outlook or nothing. They could not choose to use either calendar or mail alone.... Way to go Microsoft.

    The following fixed for me.

    In Firefox

    Menu > settings > privacy & security

    Under “enhanced Tracking protection” check the button for “custom”

    click the drop down menu next to Cookies and change the settings to “Cross-site tracking cookies”

    Enabling cross-site tracking cookies should work for other browsers as well.

    Hope it helps.

    Since there's no fix in sight, does anyone know of another option that works? This is significantly affecting workflow.
