Description
The error occurs when visiting the link a second time. To avoid this, one should not click directly on the link in the email with Outlook, but copy it and paste it into the browser. Microsoft's "malicious link" verification will trigger an email verification. (Since Outlook sends the link to Outlook, it adds "outlook... front" to it.) This could be solved by adding a "Verify Email" button. This only happens if you have the same browser open and remain logged in.
I hope, I have explained this somewhat clearly.

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the second-visit failure with Outlook while remaining logged in, then trace the email-verification flow and determine what happens to the modified link. Done means the verification flow works when the link is opened a second time, without requiring users to copy and paste it.
