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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
