The issue is not widespread
Judging from the number of reports, Outlook appears to be working for the majority of customers. It’s not known whether the Windows 10 Outlook Mail app is also facing difficulties in connecting to Outlook service or not. But given that reports of issues are very limited, there’s a chance only a few users are impacted.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed how widespread this problem is right now but the company is also already working on a fix and the service should be back up in the coming hours if it’s down for you.
If Outlook is down on your end, you need to wait as trying a different browser or app may not address the server side issue. There’s no action you should take at the moment. Outlook services will be restored soon and we’ll update the article when the email service is back online.
