FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you're just logging in for work and finding that you can't access your emails - don't worry, it's not just you - Microsoft Outlook is down.

Thousands of users across the world are reporting issues with the email service, with complaints of failed launches, memory-intensive running and more.

As Microsoft looks to try and fix the issue, here's what we know so far...

Users began reporting issues with Microsoft Outlook around 9am ET, with reports rising as more and more people log on for work.

Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, saying it is attempting to replicate it internally in order to find out more... We've identified a potential memory management issue which may be responsible for causing impact. We're obtaining memory dumps and logs from Outlook client telemetry data for analysis to determine our next steps. For more information, see MO907654 within the admin center. October 10, 2024

The issue was initially thought to only affect users in Europe (with Microsoft's own tweet even stating this ) - but as this DownDetector heat map shows, it is now spreading across the US, as people log in to work for the day. (Image credit: DownDetector)
