    Microsoft 365 and Outlook services are currently down and inaccessible. Email is inaccessible because of this service disruption. This also affects other M365 services like Teams and Sharepoint. Microsoft is investigating an issue in which users may be unable to access Outlook features and services. Live updates from Microsoft can be found at https://x.com/MSFT365Status. We'll update the MIT community as we receive additional information.

  2. identified Mar 01, 2025, 10:17 PM UTC

    Microsoft has identified a recent code change to a portion of their M365 service infrastructure that they suspect is causing the login issue. They have also reverted the code change, and are monitoring service health telemetry to confirm if the reversion is returning service to expected functionality. Outlook access has appeared to have been restored. IS&T is monitoring Microsoft status to confirm when M365 service is fully restored.

  2. monitoring Oct 10, 2024, 06:47 PM UTC

    Microsoft has applied a fix and shared the following update. Please take note of the action users need to take to resolve the trouble: "We've applied a configuration update and our testing indicates that this action has successfully mitigated impact. However, affected users will need to take action to apply the changes we've made and remediate the problem: - Outlook client and app users should restart their client or app to apply our changes. Outlook desktop client users may need to perform this action twice due to caching issues. - Outlook on the web users should refresh their sessions. If that does not mitigate the issue, users are encouraged to clear their browser cache and refresh their Outlook on the web session. We're working with impacted customers and are continuing to perform tests across the affected infrastructure to confirm that impact has been successfully addressed."
