Thank you for your patience, Ed. I have consulted with our Tier 2 team and they confirmed that this is a known issue affecting some Outlook.com users. We have received multiple reports of customers being unable to save changes to their Safe Senders or Blocked Senders lists and receiving the message: "Couldn't save changes. Something went wrong. Please try again later."

Our engineering team has already identified the root cause and a fix is currently being rolled out to affected accounts.

Additionally, A workaround is to save the email as a contact and then unblock it.

I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you good luck!
