**Resolution 3:** Check to see if your Dynamics 365 (online) organization isn't available or something is blocking communication with Dynamics 365 (online). Verify you can access your Dynamics 365 organization via your web browser. If you can't access your Dynamics 365 organization via your web browser, the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook can't access your organization either. If you're unable to access your Dynamics 365 organization with your web browser, contact your Dynamics 365 administrator.
