I'm experiencing issues receiving emails through Proofpoint and noticed that Downdetector shows outages for Microsoft and other email services. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Absolutely, I noticed a major backlog in incoming emails too. It took forever for Outlook to connect, and I'm having trouble accessing some admin panels. Just another typical day in SaaS, right?
Pro tip: Instead of relying solely on Downdetector, check Microsoft's Service Health page for real-time updates. But be warned, that link might be down right now as well. It seems like a lot of people are facing the same issues!
Yeah, it looks like Microsoft is indeed facing some issues. Their official account on X confirmed that they are looking into problems affecting Outlook, Microsoft Defender, and other services. It's not just you!
It's definitely concerning. I think Downdetector can be useful to gauge the problem, but Microsoft’s Service Health usually has the official updates, even if it’s sometimes slower. Just keep an eye on both if you can!
