    Outlook & Hotmail has been having trouble all day today. From what I’ve been able to find out — Microsoft is having technical issues. Won’t be the first time and it won’t be the last. Technology is like a Trojan horse, once you let it in… it can bite you when you least expect it. Time to get out the papers, envelopes and my FOREVER stamps.

  • Travis

    For some reason Outlook login is being a right little devil. one minute it works and the next minute it doesn’t. If I was sat in front of my desktop all day long I could stay logged in, but I am not and have to log out. But then it takes forever trying to login it is wasting my daily planned time.

  • Anne

    No emails are showing up on my Samsung Galaxy S5, is this a problem my end or Microsoft’s end?
