This is in https://www.usc.edu/office365 and Google's Chrome web browser in macOS Big Sur v11.7.10. All have updates.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Hello Ant,

    Thank you for responding.

    Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google, while Microsoft has its own web browser called Edge.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

    Best regards.

    But Chrome isn't third party.

    Hello Ant,

    Thanks for posting the query here in this forum.

    We're glad to know your issue has been fixed. We appreciate the time and effort spent in resolving the above issue.

    The issue occurs as a result of the third-party pop-up blocker blocking the link. The pop-up blocker feature prevents pop-up windows from opening when you click hyperlinks in email messages.

    If you have any more questions or need further assistance in the future, welcome back to post in the community. We'll be glad to assist you.

    Best regards. Oluwatosin

    Ooh, I figured it out. Chrome said it blocked pop-ups from external e-mail links. Why does online Outlook webmail have to use pop-up methods? :(
