Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft says email delivery is still catching up after its outage, with some users facing intermittent access and delayed messages even as services recover. It extended Outlook’s timeout window to 48 hours to help protect delayed mail while delivery returns to normal.
Why it mattersThe BBC reports that messages may show the time they were delivered, not when they were sent. So if an important email seems to have vanished, it may be delayed rather than lost. The inbox, as ever, is not a clock you should trust blindly.
Discuss: During a major email outage, should providers prioritise restoring access quickly, or give clearer guarantees about when delayed messages will arrive?
