outlook.com forwarding not working “sorry we can’t do this right now. Please try again later”

I create a new email address on my domain hosted by Outlook.com email. I log into the new account and I click on More Mail Settings button. I click on Email Forwarding. It wants to verify me so I type in my cell number and country. I check the agree to terms check box. I press Verify. I get the error message "Sorry, we can't do this right now. Please try again later." I have been attempting this for about a month now at random times.
