    @meflyingblind @Outlook If go over Microsoft storage it will still cause issues with sending receiving emails even if email storage is ok. So it's either backup elsewhere and delete files from Microsoft storage

  • JeffinHollywood Jeffery Brown (@JeffinHollywood) reported

    @Outlook after your announced fix only new email is coming in. Anything that was sent during the downtime is still not arriving. I know this because I sent tests to myself the past 6 hrs. The one I just sent 3 mins ago came in. All of the ones I sent earlier have not. Any ideas?

  • katensch K. Norton-Schock (@katensch) reported

    @SelfMadeMastery @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook It is quite the coincidence that this occurred just a day after updates. And that am acquaintance of mine in a different state is having the same issues TODAY.
