Is Outlook down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Outlook successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 596 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 585 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 540 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 555 ms |
Based on 3,288 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About Outlook
Outlook provides essential email services, calendar management, and contact storage through Microsoft's cloud infrastructure. It integrates with Microsoft 365, utilizing Exchange Online for message delivery and OneDrive for handling large file attachments. When the service experiences downtime, users frequently report issues with receiving inbound mail, syncing folders across devices, or accessing the web-based login portal. Rimetry tracks the availability and performance of these communication systems from diverse network perspectives to identify if a service disruption is affecting the platform's global reach.
Problems with Outlook can affect login & authentication, email delivery, search independently.
