on my laptop i have all 5 emails in outlook. I can check them one at a time usually. Today its says there is an issue with each account. When i open outlook there is a little lock next to all 5 emails. No way my yahoo, my ATT and frontier account all have issues. I can get to them using the web? Any ideas. When i try to fix them I get a timeout that the site cant be reached? I have had this et up for 3-4 years with no issues.

Hello There's currently a global outage affect some Microsoft services, including Outlook. It is an issue on Microsoft's end. Service status can be monitored here https://status.cloud.microsoft/ however, even this page is loading extremely slow right now. Or via Msft's X/Twitter page: https://x.com/MSFT365Status/status/2120938282204688468

As forum helpers, we don't have insider information regarding when this will be restored. I am sorry.
