Microsoft Outlook is down for the count in a major outage affecting millions of users worldwide for the past 11 hours.… The troubles, according to Microsoft's service status page, began at 2220 UTC on July 9 when it confirmed "users may be unable to access their mailbox using any connection methods.

Outlook has over 400 million active users around the world. This issue seems to be affecting both personal and work Outlook accounts, as well as Hotmail accounts. Hotmail is also owned by Microsoft. Some users are seeing a message saying that their license is not valid, while others are seeing a message that says, "Something went wrong."

Well, Gmail was paying attention, and the official account on X dropped a perfectly-timed post that has now gone viral. "It's a great day to send an email," the post read. As of Thursday afternoon, the post from Gmail has over 818,000 views.
