It's only been a few days since the last Outlook glitch and the next problems have already arisen: Microsoft reports that access to Outlook from an iOS operating system is sometimes not possible. The problems only occur with the iOS "Native Mail App", i.e. the Apple mail app that is installed on iOS devices by default.
The problems have been reported on a Microsoft status page for several days. According to this, users may not be able to access their Outlook.com email inbox if they use the native Mail app on iOS devices. The company is analyzing the available data to determine the cause of the problems.

Microsoft has been at it for days
Microsoft has apparently been doing this for some time: For the first time, a corresponding message could be read on Wednesday (March 5) at 4 a.m. UTC (5 a.m. German time). As of midday on Friday, Microsoft had already published the same message six times in total. The difference is that now there is talk of progress made in fixing the problem.
There were already widespread problems last weekend. It was not possible to retrieve emails via the Outlook application late on Saturday evening (March 1). US users were also affected.
