Microsoft’s email service Outlook.com appears to be experiencing some issues, as users across the world report errors when trying to log into their accounts.

While the service seems to be up and running for us, we’re receiving reports from our readers pointing to downtime problems that do not seem to be related to specific countries or accounts.

While the Service Status dashboard indicates that Outlook.com is working just fine right now, a Microsoft engineer confirmed in a short post that some issues are indeed affecting the email platform right now.

“We apologize for the Service issue you are experiencing with Outlook.com. Microsoft is aware of the issue and we have engaged the Outlook.com team who is actively investigating. As more details become available we will be updating Service Status Dashboard http://status.live.com. Please refer back to the dashboard for further updates to this emerging issue,” the message reads.
