Southern California Outlook users were among thousands nationwide reporting problems accessing their email Thursday amid a Microsoft outage.
Microsoft acknowledged the issue in a social media post Thursday, saying it was assessing the scope of the disruption.
“We’re investigating reports of users experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection methods in the Americas,” Microsoft 365 Status wrote on X.
Downdetector, a website that monitors service disruptions through user reports, logged more than 130,000 reports of Outlook problems shortly after 10:27 a.m. More than 46,000 reports of problems with Microsoft 365 and about 3,000 reports involving Teams also were logged, according to media reports.
Microsoft reported earlier Thursday morning that it had resolved a separate Teams disruption affecting users in North America, but warned that broader Microsoft 365 service connectivity remained impacted.
It was not immediately clear what caused the Outlook outage or when access would be fully restored.
