India, Nov. 13 -- Microsoft's Outlook email service is facing a major global outage on Friday leaving users unable to access their inboxes, send or receive emails, and use several other Microsoft 365 applications. The disruption, which began on Thursday, has also affected Microsoft Teams, Copilot and other workplace services, disrupting businesses, government offices and educational institutions across multiple countries.

The outage appears to stem from a major infrastructure failure involving Microsoft's servers. The company has acknowledged problems with server stability and elevated workloads, but has yet to provide a complete technical explanation of what triggered the disruption.
