Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services experienced widespread outages Saturday afternoon, according to user reports tracked by Downdetector. The spike in reports began around 1:10 p.m. ET, with more than 130,000 users reporting problems with the email app and over 48,000 reporting issues with Microsoft 365.
Microsoft acknowledged the problems on its Microsoft 365 status page, stating it was investigating users "experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection methods." The company said it was working to redistribute connection traffic across its global infrastructure to balance the load.
As of 1:48 p.m. ET, Microsoft reported it was actively redistributing traffic to mitigate the impact. The company did not provide an estimated time for full restoration of service.
