Switched most of my personal stuff to another provider ages ago but work still forces Outlook, guess I'll be staring at error messages again today.
Funny how "cause still unclear" always seems to be the standard line whenever these big platforms go down, makes you wonder if they even know their own systems.
Third outage this year alone, my whole team relies on Outlook for work and this really hurts productivity when it just goes down without warning.
