For one time. MS does something good :)
I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the recent spam of authenticator access to accounts…

So, my father in Australia is losing his computer skills over time and in order for me to make sure he’s not being scammed, again, he gave me access to his outlook mail. After checking for a week or two, his spam mail has changed languages. Not just the official “advertising” but the spam mail.

Owl - Ive been using it all day without issue? With an exchange account…
It wasn’t all Exchange servers, just a lot of them. Sounds like you weren’t on one of the affected servers.
Ah I see, that must be it
