Some Microsoft users are still having issues with accessing parts of the firm’s Outlook email services, 24 hours after a fault first occurred.
Overnight, the technology giant said that while “most users and core services” had “recovered” following an outage on Monday morning, it was still working to fix problems with Outlook on the web.
In its most recent post to X on the incident, the official Microsoft 365 status account said: “We’re still addressing lingering issues with Outlook on the web affecting some users and investigating mail queuing delays causing longer delivery times.”
The company’s own service health status website also confirmed issues were ongoing, warning that users may not be able to access Outlook via the web and that sending and receiving emails may be slightly delayed.
“We’re investigating some mail queuing delays that is resulting in mail taking longer than expected to be delivered,” the company said on its website.
“Due to the impact of this incident, we will enter a period of extended monitoring prior to declaring this issue resolved.”
On Monday, users around the world reported issues with Microsoft 365, the suite of productivity and collaboration apps for individuals and businesses, with issues mostly widely reported with Outlook and work-based chat app, Teams.
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!
