This article explains how to check if Outlook.com is down at Microsoft or if it is a problem with your computer or local network, and how to troubleshoot the most common causes. The instructions in this article apply to all Microsoft Outlook, Hotmail, MSN, and Live services.
Is Outlook down?
Can’t open your email and not sure who’s to blame? Check these places first to see if it’s down for everyone or not.
Visit the Microsoft 365 Service Status page to check the service status of Outlook.com. If there is a green check mark next to Outlook.com, then everything is working correctly with the Outlook.com service from Microsoft's perspective.
If the webpage displays a red or yellow symbol next to Outlook.com, Microsoft is currently experiencing a problem and is aware of the issue. Comments next to that symbol can help you figure out what's going on.
