Outlook Outagem

Microsoft has not published a firm restoration time for the current Outlook disruption; monitor the official Service Health page because any recovery estimate will appear there first.^1^

The incident remains listed as an active Microsoft 365 service degradation affecting Outlook/Exchange-dependent services. Until Microsoft posts an estimated recovery time, any specific timescale would be speculation. A “next update” time on the status page indicates when Microsoft expects to provide more information—not when service will necessarily be restored.

What to do

1. Check Microsoft service health status for incident updates and recovery progress.
2. Avoid changing your password, removing the account, or reinstalling Outlook while the outage is active; those actions will not resolve a service-side incident.
3. Once Microsoft marks the incident resolved, retry Outlook.com and your Outlook apps.
4. If your account still fails afterward, check Microsoft’s Outlook.com known-issues page for a matching issue or workaround.^2^
