365's OWA, not Outlook. I assume desktop Outlook still works with their Exchange backend because it's just a redirect loop error. They should have it fixed pretty quick.

Desktop Outlook stopped working too, it'd show a send/receive error or "disconnected". Seemed to be resolved around 3:36PM Central.

You don't need to split that hair. No one's gonna tell the two nearly-identically-named products apart later. While they intentionally named them nearly the same thing so consumers would get confused, I bet they didn't mean like this. But that's where we are.

Outlook is a client, OWA is a web based version of that client. Microsoft is bad at names but I don't see a problem with these tbh

The new Outlook for Windows, however, is just the OWA inside of a glorified Electron app.
