Hi @jcb

There is currently a widespread Microsoft 365 service disruption affecting multiple services, including Exchange Online, which provides the email functionality for Outlook. As a result, users may be unable to access their mailboxes through Outlook on the web, desktop, or mobile devices. Email delivery may also be delayed.

According to the latest update, the Microsoft 365 team is seeing positive results from restarting the affected infrastructure and is monitoring server stability while continuing its recovery efforts. However, full service restoration has not yet been confirmed, and no specific recovery time has been provided.

You can check the Microsoft 365 Service Status for the latest updates.

I recommend checking the service status page periodically and avoiding major changes to your Outlook configuration while Microsoft continues working to restore the affected services.

Answer 2

Microsoft is currently reporting a Microsoft 365 service degradation that may prevent Business or Enterprise users from connecting to Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services, so avoid changing Outlook settings and monitor the incident until Microsoft restores service.^1^

What to do now

Check the public status page for recovery updates: ^1^
This page is available even when administrators cannot access the Microsoft 365 admin center.
If you are a Microsoft 365 administrator, open: Microsoft 365 admin center → Health → Service health → Active issues Microsoft is working on.
Select the relevant Exchange Online or Microsoft 365 incident to view its user impact, current status, and latest updates.^2^
Wait for the status to change to “Service restored.” Mailbox access should return without reinstalling Outlook, clearing profiles, or changing tenant configuration.

If Microsoft reports recovery but access remains unavailable

Test Outlook on the web and another network or device to determine whether the remaining problem affects one device or the mailbox generally.
Have an administrator check Health → Service health → Issues for your organization to act on.
If no active issue covers your tenant, select Report an issue on the Service health page. Microsoft uses these reports to identify problems affecting multiple organizations.^2^
Record the exact error message, affected users, access methods, and time the problem continued after Microsoft declared the incident resolved; include these details in the report or support request.
