Well is up, but the folders are empty, the calendar does not synch. Is a major disaster.

Currently, Microsoft Outlook is working properly on mobile devices, but it is not functioning on laptops/desktops. This indicates that the issue may be related to the desktop application, authentication, synchronization, or server connectivity rather than a complete service outage.
Need to check the matrix and logs to find the actual issue it may be not working because we are giving more importance to Artificial Intelligence AI instead of Humane, we have to remember that AI is made by Human he can not work without us human have to interact with System to make AI more capable to understand the small needs of syaytem.

Outlook is not fully working on mobile devices. It might appear so but no new emails are available, suggesting the problem is more fundamental than an issue with the desktop application.

Still down for me as of this afternoon. Same symptoms as others: Outlook on the web loads the shell, but folders are empty, no new mail is arriving, and Calendar won't sync. Desktop app shows connected, but nothing moves. Mobile is inconsistent — sometimes it looks fine, but there's no new mail behind it. Posting in case it helps others confirm this is a service-side issue, not a local one. I've already ruled out the browser session (tried incognito) and storage (plenty of headroom).

Florida here - still down for my firm on mobile and desktop. Interestingly enough I see notifications on my mobile of some new emails and then when I click on them it takes me to the mobile application and the previewed email is not there. Still nothing after around 12 yesterday (11/12)

Hi,

There is currently an outage affecting the Microsoft 365 system, which includes Outlook; access is unavailable at this time. There is no estimated time for when services will be restored, but Microsoft is already working to bring them back online.

You can check the status via the link below to see if access has been restored.

Thanks.

Absolutely. In this day and age, one would not have thought that something like this would happen. Especially, when AI can help you work out all sort of threats with Cyber Security, and work out all sorts of solution strategies for Cyber Security.

It almost feels there may be a Conspiracy going on some where. It almost feels like the Nvidia story with Jensen feels like more than just a "Set Up".

Another discussion I had, is with regards to Data Centres and the related energy and water issues. Again, in this say and age, one would have thought these matters would be known well in advance, all the impacts and issues that would need solutions worked out in advance, and then applied. Instead, they scare monger us to hell and back.

"Microsoft currently reports Outlook.com as operational, so there is no published restoration time" AI proving how it doesn't work again.

Outage is still crippling my business after 12 hours of Outlook being down. Teams is half working. The whole thing is a mess.

Coming back to normal or "operational" is a lie. Saying an update at 6:30 p.m. means we will be without functionality for another day minimum.

Microsoft currently reports Outlook.com as operational, so there is no published restoration time for today’s disruption; the public status feed was last updated November 12, 2026 at 19:31 UTC.^1^

Because sending, receiving, and Calendar are all unavailable, try these checks:

Open Outlook.com in a private/incognito browser window. If it works there, the problem is likely confined to the original browser session.

Check Settings → General → Storage. A full Microsoft cloud storage allocation prevents sending and receiving mail; messages received while storage is full are returned to their senders.^2^

If Outlook.com displays storage as 0/0 GB or incorrectly says it is full, delete messages with attachments larger than 10 MB, then sign out and sign back in. Microsoft documents this as a workaround for a storage-reporting issue.^3^

If Outlook.com still fails, select Help on its menu bar, enter the problem, and then choose Still need help? → Yes to contact Outlook.com support.^2^

If this is a Microsoft 365 work or school mailbox rather than Outlook.com, contact the organization’s Microsoft 365 administrator. Tenant-specific incidents may appear in the administrator’s Service Health dashboard even when the public consumer status shows operational.
