Microsoft restores Asia Pacific services as Outlook issues persist

Microsoft is gradually restoring services in the Asia Pacific region after an outage disrupted Microsoft 365 and Outlook email access for a second day, though service degradation continues for business and enterprise customers. The company reports improvements in mailbox access and delayed email processing, but users may still face intermittent issues. Microsoft is extending recovery to other regions and reducing email backlogs. It confirmed no evidence of malicious or cyber activity, with a full post-incident report to follow. In India, airlines IndiGo and Akasa Air reported email support delays, while Air India rerouted emails to avoid disruption. Most Teams core functions remain unaffected, but calendar tasks may fail. Outage reports spiked after 6 am Friday, following initial issues Thursday night.
