If Outlook looks down for you
Email problems are often limited to sending, receiving or one client. Test the web interface and your mail client separately, and check the provider status page for delays.
- Test from another networkSwitch to mobile data or ask someone elsewhere. If it works there, the problem is your connection or DNS.
- Clear DNS and disable VPNFlush your DNS cache, or try a different resolver such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, and turn off VPNs and proxies.
- Look at the layersRun the root-cause finder to see whether DNS, the connection, the certificate or the HTTP response fails, or check DNS and SSL.

Frequently asked questions
Is Outlook down right now?
Our latest stored check 25 minutes ago found Outlook reachable. The live check on this page runs a fresh test from our servers when you open it.
Why can I not open Outlook if the check says it is up?
The problem is probably on your side: your network, DNS cache, VPN, browser, an extension or a regional block. Try mobile data or another network and clear your DNS cache.
What does it mean if Outlook is down for everyone?
Our servers could not get a normal response either, so Outlook or its hosting is having a problem. Check the official status page or social account and try again in a few minutes.
How does SiteDownCheck decide Outlook is down?
We request the home page from our servers. A connection failure, timeout or 5xx error is confirmed with a second check a few seconds later before it counts as down. A 4xx response such as 403 counts as reachable, because many sites refuse automated requests.
What is the uptime of Outlook?
Over the last 825 checks in the past 30 days, Outlook answered 100% of the time from our single monitoring location. This is our own measurement, not an official figure from Outlook.
