Dear Microsoft Outlook Support,
I have been using my Hotmail account for many years without any problems.
Since 13 November 2026 (Australian time), I have been experiencing serious problems accessing and using my Hotmail account. I understand that there have been reports of widespread Microsoft Outlook service disruptions affecting users around the world.
The problems I am experiencing include:
The problem occurs in all browsers I have tried, including Google Chrome and Firefox.
My internet connection is working normally, and other websites are operating without problems.
Furthermore, I have found news reports confirming that Microsoft has acknowledged a widespread Outlook outage affecting thousands of users worldwide. Reports include the "Failed to fetch" error and difficulties accessing mailboxes and sending or receiving emails.
News report: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/world-news/microsoft-confirms-outage-thousands-outlook-34904438
I urgently need access to my email account for both sending and receiving messages.
Could you please investigate whether this is related to the widespread Microsoft Outlook service disruption or whether there is a specific problem with my Hotmail account?
Please advise when normal email service is expected to be restored.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible, not only for myself but also for other affected Hotmail and Outlook users.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue.
