Microsoft Outlook, the tech giant’s popular email, contacts and calendar service, is currently down for many users around the world. In a post on X, previously Twitter, the company confirmed via its official Microsoft 365 Status handle that it is currently investigating the issue affecting the service and is working on deploying a fix.
According to the popular website Downdetector, hundreds of users around the world have reported that Outlook is currently inaccessible. When users try to open Outlook, they see a “Something went wrong” error message, with an option to refresh the page.

Microsoft has also acknowledged the issue on its Service Health page, where it says that users are “unable to access their mailbox using any connection methods.” Apart from the Outlook website, the outage also seems to be affecting the mobile and desktop clients.
