Hi @Caitlyn LeBlanc

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

I'm really sorry you're running into this issue. I understand how critical it is to stay connected to your mailbox, and it’s frustrating when access problems disrupt your workflow. 

This issue has been officially acknowledged by Microsoft. It’s currently affecting some users who are experiencing errors or failures when accessing their mailbox via any Exchange Online connection method including Outlook on desktop, mobile, and web. 

Microsoft has identified the cause within a portion of the backend infrastructure and is actively working on restoring availability. Manual recovery actions have already begun, and early signs show gradual improvement. The team is closely monitoring progress before expanding the fix to remaining affected systems. 
Scope of impact: This incident isn't region-specific, and the problem could impact some of your users attempting to access their mailbox using any Exchange Online connection method.  

-Start time: Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC  
-Next update by: Friday, September 12, 2025, at 3:30 AM UTC 

This incident is being treated with the highest priority and may impact users globally. You can follow updates via the Microsoft 365 Health dashboard if you have admin access. 

In the meantime, no action is required from you. Once the fix is fully deployed, access to your mailbox should be restored automatically. 

Thank you again for your patience and understanding as Microsoft works toward full recovery.
