    Hi there, I hope you are well!

    Since you mentioned you're able to access your webmail in Google Chrome but receive an "Unknown error occurred" message only on a different browser, the issue is likely related to this browser's browser data, extensions, or settings rather than your webmail account.

    You can try the following troubleshooting steps: (For Edge browser)

    1. Open the site in an InPrivate window
      • Press Ctrl + Shift + N to open an InPrivate window in Edge.
      • Sign in to your webmail account.
      • If it works, the issue is likely caused by cached data, cookies, or a browser extension.
    2. Clear Edge's cache and cookies
      • Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.
      • Clear Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
      • Close and reopen Edge, then try signing in again.
    3. Disable Extensions
      • Go to edge://extensions.
      • Temporarily disable all extensions, especially ad blockers, security, or privacy extensions, then test your webmail again.
    4. Ensure Edge is Up to Date
      • Go to Settings > About Microsoft Edge.
      • Install any available updates and restart the browser.

    Please don't hesitate to post back in the community if the issue persists. If possible, include a screenshot of the error or the affected screen, as it will help me and other community members better understand what's happening and provide more targeted suggestions. Have a nice day!
