Waiting on an email this morning or having problems getting into emails? A major global Microsoft outage is continuing today, Friday 13 November, leaving users unable to access Outlook or send and receive messages. Other Microsoft 365 services, including parts of Teams, have also been affected since Thursday evening.
South Lanarkshire Council, Schools, Scottish Water and Police Scotland are among the organisations reporting email disruption, with residents being asked to telephone instead. Anyone awaiting a council reply should allow extra time.
For local businesses and people working from home who use the affected services, this could mean delayed customer enquiries, missed correspondence and disrupted meetings. Emails should be avoided. If something is urgent, telephone the organisation using its usual published number.
In their latest update this morning affecting 430 million users, Microsoft reported signs of recovery, although disruption was continuing. The company said it was not aware of malicious activity behind the outage.
