SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft’s email system Outlook was briefly down Saturday, according to outage reports.

Nearly 40,000 people reported the outage on DownDetector just before 1 p.m. Pacific, 4 p.m. Eastern. About half an hour later, reports dropped to less than 20,000. 

Microsoft didn’t publicly address the reported outage. During peak reports, their status page said “everything is up and running.” 

Some users trying to access Outlook may have been logged out and unable to sign back in, others were experiencing a loading screen that wouldn’t go away. 

Users took to social media Saturday afternoon to show both their panic about the outage and relief it wasn’t just them experiencing the issue. 

“Not @Outlook going down when I need it the most,” one user wrote. 

Outlook is a service for Microsoft users to access their email, calendars and contacts in one place, according to the company. The software is available on desktop or mobile. 

Other Microsoft products, like Teams and Skype — which will no longer work in May — do not appear to be suffering any outages or service disruptions.
