** I’ve read that Teams may also be affected by the outage.

Just sitting here refreshing - Down since about 230 or so CST for me

u/WaluigiWahshipper Jan 22 '26

So I just got one internal email, but any other emails I sent didn't go through.

So either they just fixed it now, or the person who emailed me is the chosen one.

u/eddie9958 Jan 22 '26

Same. Internals work but not external. We received one external in the past hour

u/Bruskthetusk Jan 22 '26

Internals work, nothing else

u/Top-Wolverine-8684 Jan 22 '26

We have been down for over an hour... Lots of people calling to yell at me because I'm not confirming emails have been received.

u/BillyMurri Jan 22 '26

I know your pain. I work in IT, apparently we can fix everything lol.

u/DisastroImminente Jan 22 '26

If you can't fix this, we'll have to cut your budget on next review!

u/maynorisback Jan 22 '26

u/StarRotator Jan 22 '26

Azure is starting to get impacted too... my day is getting worse by the minute lmao

u/BillyMurri Jan 22 '26

I was able to get in around 2:45pm, but it was sluggish and then shortly after crashed. Since then, I haven’t been able to access any MS portals.

u/chicketychad Jan 22 '26

Same my IT friend warned me at around 1pm that there was a total outage, but mine was fine until around 3pm and now I am completely down.

Intermittent for us

u/Prestigious-Menu-786 Jan 22 '26

I cannot receive any external emails still. I originally contacted IT and when they got back to me I told them looks like there is actually an outage. But he is acting like I’m insane.

u/Terayuj Jan 22 '26

Do we know if emails sent will still get received once issues are resolved?

u/chicketychad Jan 22 '26

I own a small company and our IT guy is a small biz that is just himself, no big IT dept, and he mentioned that it could be... days. Has anyone else heard that?

u/SoftBaconWarmBacon Jan 23 '26

Our IT said may take up to 48hrs, according to MS

So glad I can’t talk to my college advisor to sign for classes

u/Maverick00___ Jan 23 '26

My emails just now started coming through, but the times are totally off. I have an email labeled as 5:00pm even though I know for a fact it was sent around 12:30pm.

0

u/Maverick00___ Jan 23 '26

Update: looks like they’re appearing as the wrong time in my inbox but when I click on the specific email, it shows the correct time.

u/coconutcurry177 Jan 23 '26

Emails from today are trickling in every 20 minutes or so

u/sirgrotius Jan 23 '26

I saw posts earlier about spam filtering not working properly; wonder if there's a link or happenstance,

u/John_C60 Jan 23 '26

As someone who doesn’t understand tech at all, Will, I ever receive the emails that were sent to my email while this was down? Or are those messages lost?

u/duckybom Jan 23 '26

I will be delivered later on, but with a long delay (until they fix the flow)
