I started getting a message in outlook that is saying WE CANNOT BLOCK EMAIL RIGHT NOW. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.

Why am I getting this message for the past 2 days or so.

    I am using a desk top computer. I have always blocked certain emails. I click on email & then click on block at the top. It have a box that pops up that is saying do you want to block this email? I clicked yes. Then a box pops up that sez we can't block this email at the time. Please try again later. it is web based. It is saying I am already logged in.

    Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this issue. Are you trying to block the email directly in Outlook.com, or are you using the Outlook desktop or mobile app?

    If the error occurs in the app, please sign in to Outlook.com and try blocking the sender there. If the same message appears, try again using a private or incognito browser window and, if possible, a different network. Please let me know the results so I can assist you further.
