Sending, receiving, and organizing email in Outlook.com
Since two days ago it has started worked as normal. Since then, I've had no issues so it appears to be fixed.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Since 25 April 2026, Outlook.com has issues opening most emails.
Plain text emails and basic HTML emails open without issue. But most emails will not open and I get the error message shown in the screenshot.
I'm using the latest version of Firefox (Version 150.0.1).

I'm afraid I can't tell you what may be happening. Sorry. Perhaps someone else will have an idea.
If you use the Reading Pane instead of opening the message, does the same thing happen?
Hi. I'm Brian and I'll try to help.
There is a known problem logging into Outlook.com right now. Microsoft is working on it. See the status at the bottom of the page https://status.cloud.microsoft/m365/ to keep track.
