Has anyone else been facing unusual issues with Microsoft 365? It seems like there's a health status update specifically for Microsoft Teams, but we're noticing delays in Exchange Online emails—taking around 10 to 15 minutes to send after clicking send.

Over 70% of our organization isn’t able to send or receive emails right now. Interestingly, Teams has been running just fine for us, which is a bit odd.
Hi, I'm still running into problems with this. Is anyone else still experiencing these issues?
Got an admin message stating that a Teams issue was linked to a 'third-party outage'. Wonder what that could be.
I haven't noticed any issues on the Outlook side myself. There has been some weirdness with Remote Help, though, getting caught in a connection loop. Anyone else experiencing problems with that?
It might be related to the AWS outage, right? I've heard some chatter about it.
If Microsoft uses AWS for O365, that would be quite the twist.
Who is your email security provider? We use Check Point Harmony/Avanan, and they've been affected by the AWS outage.
That makes sense. We're seeing email delays of four hours or more after the mail-flow rule sends it to Checkpoint's AWS server.
Same here, we're an Avanan shop and it's been rough.
Totally forgot it was a Checkpoint issue.
Did nobody check the Microsoft 365 status? They acknowledged issues with Exchange, lol.
The status was checked, but the issue wasn't listed on the health status page.
I've got one user encountering delays with emails going into the spam folder for external recipients. I'm currently troubleshooting to see if this is a broader issue affecting others.
We had no emails sent from Power Automate until around 3 PM Atlantic time. I went ahead and filed a report with Microsoft about it.

Dictation in Word (which needs an online connection) is still completely non-functional.
