Microsoft has gotten some servers back online, easy way to check is just going on outlook login and seeing if it loads... still offline for us unfortunately...

13 November 2026 (Australian time):

I'm now also receiving HTTP Error 503 – Service Unavailable when attempting to access https://outlook.live.com/mail/

Even Microsoft's own Outlook/Hotmail Help service is inaccessible due to the same issues, making it impossible to obtain technical Support through the usual channels.

This means still unable to access my emails or obtain assistance from Microsoft.

It is down for hours, could your retrenchment contributed to the time taken to recover.

Reportedly "Microsoft is seeing "positive results" in its efforts to restart servers". Waiting for those "positive results" to showup on my computer!

Then when it 'does' get fixed, it'll break again two minutes later and be down for 7 days; then cycle continues.

Yesterday, I discovered an unauthorized email forwarder on my Microsoft account—despite having 2FA enabled, a passwordless setup, and zero suspicious login activity in my logs. Something feels seriously broken on Microsoft’s end. It makes you wonder if there’s an undisclosed vulnerability out there, or if we're starting to see the real-world fallout of "vibe coding."

When clicking on a web page link in an outlook email it also runs through this "safelinks.outlook.com" site and that also appears to be hanging...

Microsoft is currently rerouting traffic and restarting affected servers. Full recovery could take several hours.

UPDATE – 13 November 2026 (Australian time) I'm now still encountering an HTTP 503 – Service Unavailable error whenever I try to open Outlook.com:

https://outlook.live.com/mail/

To make matters worse, Microsoft's own Outlook/Hotmail Help pages are also unavailable or affected by these service problems.

This means I can't access my mailbox, send or receive emails, or even get help from Microsoft to resolve the situation.

My Hotmail has been unusable since 13 November 2026 (Australian time). Outlook either times out or gets stuck loading, and I cannot access my emails.

Sending and receiving have also failed, with "Couldn't send", "Failed to fetch" and HTTP 503 errors. Chrome, Firefox and other browsers all produce the same results.

Even Microsoft's own support pages aren't working, leaving affected users without a way to get help.

Please, Microsoft, restore normal email services as soon as possible.
