I urgently need to read an email, and I was wondering if there was an estimation of when the fix would be implemented. Does anyone know?

    Microsoft currently marks Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 Consumer as Operational, so there is no published remaining repair ETA; retry access now, then treat continued failure as a residual synchronization or account-specific issue.^1^

    There was a widespread Outlook disruption on November 12, 2026, matching the reported web-access and mobile-refresh symptoms.^2^ Microsoft’s public consumer feed was last reported as operational at 19:31 UTC on November 12. No reliable Microsoft source currently specifies a later time by which every residual issue will be resolved.

    Try to retrieve the urgent email

    1. Check the live Microsoft service status. Microsoft directs Outlook.com users there when access fails.^3^
    2. Force-close Outlook Mobile and reopen it:
      • Android: Settings → Apps → Outlook → Force stop, then Storage → Clear cache. Clearing the cache keeps your data.
      • iPhone/iPad: Open the app switcher and swipe Outlook upward to close it, then reopen it.
    3. Update Outlook from Google Play or the App Store and restart the phone.^4^
    4. Retry Outlook.com in the browser. If webmail starts showing current messages but the app does not, the remaining problem is isolated to the app.

    Avoid removing and re-adding the account while Outlook.com itself remains inaccessible. Microsoft’s account re-add procedure is intended for cases where there is no outage and the mailbox works on the computer.^4^

    If neither web nor mobile recovers

    Use Outlook Mobile’s support channel:

    1. Tap Inbox or the account-menu button.
    2. Tap ? at the bottom.
    3. Select Contact Outlook Mobile Support.^5^

    Do not post the email address, password, recovery codes, or message contents publicly.
