  • theonlystonez Stonez 🩸🩸🩸 (@theonlystonez) reported

    @SelfMadeMastery @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Quick tip, get yourself a VPN & tunnel your traffic into the U.S. somewhere to get around the problem. Free advice, no money needed... other than the VPN itself.

  • lostdesertdog Desert Dog (@lostdesertdog) reported

    @Outlook What's going on? I cannot send emails, I send them, they go to send folder but nobody gets them. Also all emails going to Junk folder. Please fix these issues.

    @Outlook Fix your darn e-mail servers!! No e-mails since 10:30 am PST. WTF? Waiting on an important Zoom invite. So close to ditching your product!

  • bridle_danielle Danielle Bridle (@bridle_danielle) reported

    @Outlook WHEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO SEND AND RECEIVE EMAILS AGAIN????? I have spent hours this morning thinking it was something I had done to come on twitter to find out it is an Outlook issue. This is unacceptable. I have important emails to send and receive and this is not okay.

  • AshrafHoudane Skapaloou (@AshrafHoudane) reported

    @SelfMadeMastery @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Hi Kelly, it's a known issue right now by Microsoft and Outlook Team, it's a major issue all over the world, and we are waiting for resolution , just watch and wait or use your Gmail instead temporarily

    @Outlook I am having the same issue, not able to send emails and have not received emails for hours now.

    @Outlook emails are not working. They show sent but they are in limbo for a lot of people and businesses that I have for emails for years from are going to junk.

  • SmittyJones1515 Matthew Smith (@SmittyJones1515) reported

    @Outlook @TedTet I’m having the same issue. Nothing received and sent messages don’t appear to be going anywhere for about the last six hours.

  • moses09434596 moses (@moses09434596) reported

    @Outlook Are we down, cant send emails, whats up?

  • SelfMadeMastery Kelly 🌟 (@SelfMadeMastery) reported

    @katensch @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Hi Kate! I was having this issue several weeks ago too, so I'm not entirely sure it's a global issue. Hotmail doesn't like my IP. I'm curious, is mail being sent to your "junk" folder that normally shouldn't be? Mail from all my usual contacts is being directed to "junk" today.

  • DeeDee__1963 Dawn (@DeeDee__1963) reported

    @Defnotaspoof @Outlook I am having same problem not being able to send emails. What is going on?

  • sammi_castle 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 (@sammi_castle) reported

    @LTPaulinee @Outlook I saw they’ve been tweeting apologies so I do believe it’s down! Happening for me too

  • eagibbons1 Elizabeth Gibbons 🇨🇦🎹🎵 (@eagibbons1) reported

    @sweetestpotates @Outlook yup. no one is receiving my emails. one site I went to said there was an outage at Microsoft

  • SelfMadeMastery Kelly 🌟 (@SelfMadeMastery) reported

    @theonlystonez @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I actually just got a new router delivered to start over with a new IP address. Sadly a new IP/using a VPN won't fix the issue with outlook flagging my current accounts (I can't send/deliver on any network from those accounts), but it may fix it for any new accounts I make!

  • gg1234635 GG1234635 (@gg1234635) reported

    @Outlook what is going on? I can send emails but no one i sent to has received. And now your online chat system not working either. What is going?
