Answer 1

I have seen a few reports that it is coming back for Business accounts, Personal to follow.

https://status.cloud.microsoft/m365/referrer=serviceStatusRedirect

Current status: Recovery efforts are ongoing across impacted infrastructure. We are seeing early signs of stabilization, but service capacity has not yet returned to normal levels and health remains variable as traffic is carefully reintroduced.Our primary mitigation path continues to focus on service stability and controlled recovery. Engineering teams are cycling affected infrastructure through traffic drain, restart, remediation, and staged return-to-service while monitoring closely. We are also evaluating additional mitigation options to improve recovery speed and consistency. Network and traffic-management actions remain in progress, and we continue to prioritize backlog and queue health to preserve delayed mail during recovery. As part of this effort, we are extending the email timeout window to 48 hours to help protect delayed messages while service recovery continues. At this time, we are not aware of any malicious activity causing this incident. We will continue to treat this with urgency until full mitigation, and we will share a full Post-Incident Report with root cause and defense-in-depth actions after recovery is complete.

Answer 2

There is currently no confirmed time for full Outlook restoration; Microsoft is still working on the widespread disruption, so monitor the official Service Health Status page rather than repeatedly changing your account settings.^1^

Public updates on November 13, 2026 report that email-access problems continue and that the initial recovery changes did not work as expected.^2^

For the urgent banking activation

Check Microsoft’s Service Health Status page linked near the top of the official Outlook.com known-issues page.^1^
Contact the bank through its official website, app, or published telephone number. Ask whether it can:
- extend the activation deadline;
- resend the message after Outlook recovers; or
- provide another verified activation method.
Do not share an activation code, password, or verification link with anyone claiming to fix Outlook.
Avoid repeatedly resetting your password or removing the mailbox from your devices while a service-wide outage is active; those actions will not restore Microsoft’s service and could complicate access afterward.

If Microsoft reports that service is restored but your mailbox still does not open, use Outlook.com → Help, enter the issue, then select Still need help? → Yes to contact Outlook.com support.^3^ If you cannot sign in at all after restoration, use the Microsoft account sign-in helper referenced on that support page.
