Microsoft has said it is working to fix an issue which has left some users unable to access emails and its Teams collaboration app.
Users began reporting issues as the working week began on Monday, with many reporting problems with Microsoft’s Office 365 suite, the firm’s collection of apps for personal and business users.
Many reported issues sending messages, as well as loading attachments on emails or saving drafts.
We’ve started to deploy a fix which is currently progressing through the affected environment. While this progresses, we’re beginning manual restarts on a subset of machines that are in an unhealthy state. For more information, please refer to MO941162 in the admin center.

Microsoft said in a post to X, formerly Twitter, shortly after, that it was aware of an issue “impacting users attempting to access Exchange Online or functionality within Microsoft Teams calendar” and was investigating.
The technology giant has since said that it has identified what it believes is the issue and has now “started to deploy a fix”, which the firm said was “currently progressing through the affected environment”.
It said it was also carrying out some “manual restarts” on machines that are in an “unhealthy state” as part of the recovery process.
By 2pm on Monday Microsoft’s own service status website said all systems were running normally again, although the company has not yet commented further on the status of the fix.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
