Outlook appears to have experienced a possible outage.

More than 5000 users reported problems on Downdetector on Monday evening, with most saying they are having trouble receiving messages.

Microsoft’s status checker, however, says that all products are operational at this time.

The terms "Microsoft Outlook down" and "Microsoft outage" are also trending on social media.

Are Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Copilot also down?

According to Downdetector, both Teams and 365 are experiencing issues for some user – albeit not at the same level as Outlook currently.

It is difficult to ascertain the extent, if any, of a Microsoft Copilot outage.
