Solution 1: Clear the junk
It’s like your browser’s junk drawer—full of old, useless stuff. Sometimes, that old stuff messes with new stuff, like Outlook.
Clear the browser cache to gets rid of all the gunk so Outlook can pull in fresh emails again.
Solution 2: Try switching browsers
Some browsers have their quirks. Testing a different one might give you a clearer picture.
Use a different browser, like Chrome or Firefox, just for a quick check. If Outlook works there, bingo, it’s your browser acting up.
Solution 3: Run the latest version of your browser
Old browsers start breaking down when you need them most. An outdated browser might not talk well with Outlook.
Go ahead and check for updates. Those updates usually come with fixes and tweaks that make things run smoother. Update it and see if that does the trick.
Tried all this and still stuck? Alright, time to get help. IT department or Microsoft support might need to step in. Sometimes, we all need a little backup.
