Microsoft Outlook outage resolved after global email disruption

fr.finance.yahoo.com (French) —

Microsoft is gradually restoring Outlook after a global outage that disrupted email access for tens of thousands of users across 74 countries. The company has ruled out a cyberattack as the cause. The issue stemmed from overloaded infrastructure causing connection errors to Microsoft 365, also affecting Teams and Copilot. Microsoft redirected traffic to unaffected servers and deployed a fix, with service stability improving by Friday midday. Microsoft confirmed no signs of malicious activity, according to executive vice president Charles Lamanna. Users are regaining access to inboxes and delayed emails, though sporadic interruptions may persist with no timeline for full recovery.
