Anyone have it?

It was down a few days - ok yesterday when I checked. Now down again this morning.

So annoying.

I use OUTLOOK.....and it's been fine, with no challenges. Maybe it's your PROVIDER that's giving you trouble.

My Outlook is okay. But outages can be regional. The Downdetector website does indicate Outlook has had problems over the last 24 hours. Isitdownrightnow is another website you can check.

I've been having problems with it off and on for several weeks now. When I check down detector it never shows any problems. But yesterday I was experimenting and it seemed if I was using IE it was okay, switching back to Chrome brought back the problem.

@shaggygirl IE has been pronounced DEAD. Won't even be supported beyond 8/21

@Desertdi

That's why I've been using Chrome for quite some time now....thanks to one of my kids downloading (if that's the word) it for me. But for the heck of it tried IE for the outlook problem and voila that seems to do the trick. Also have no problem using Edge but still trying to figure using that browser out. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box re this stuff.

Wow about IE. I do use Chrome.

I restarted my computer yesterday and it worked. Now this morning the problem is back. Maybe my computer - Windows 7.

I have to check it on my husband's Windows 10 desktop. And it's working on my phone.

THANKS EVERYONE!

My Outlook email has been wonky for several months. I'm severely computer challenged and don't know what to do about it except switch to a different email. That seems like too much work for me so I just live with the Outlook. Does anyone know how to contact the folks who run Outlook? hahaha Because I can't find any place on the website to contact "customer service" to complain and ask for help.

I use Firefox and yesterday Outlook wasn't loading at all for me, so I tried Microsoft Edge and it worked fine. Sometimes I do that with other websites too. Once or twice I've had to use Edge for my credit card website instead of Firefox.

There is some comfort in knowing it's not only me and something wrong with my computer.

Thanks again all. It's been okay. But I've been keeping it open and just minimizing it.
