An outage disrupted Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services Thursday. Microsoft said some servers unexpectedly became unavailable, straining the remaining infrastructure. By 6:57 p.m. Eastern, the company reported limited recovery after returning some servers to service and rerouting traffic. Full restoration had not been established in that update. Nearly 130,000 Outlook reports appeared on Downdetector near the earlier peak. Those were user reports, not a verified count of affected accounts.
