Microsoft confirmed that an April 27 \u201cservice degradation\u201d incident, commonly known as an outage to us mere mortals, left some users around the world unable to access their Outlook.com email. Having said that, \u201ca recent service change\u201d was potentially to blame, and putting a rollback into place, Microsoft finally posted that the issue was remediated. But it would appear that iPhone users need to take action if they are to regain access to their Outlook or Hotmail emails using the built-in Apple Mail app.<\/p>\n

Take These Steps To Regain Access To Outlook Emails On Your iPhone<\/h2>\n

While Gmail is the world\u2019s most popular email service, with more than 3 billion users according to Google itself, Outlook and Hotmail remain in the mix. But here\u2019s the thing, when it comes to iPhone users, many of them prefer to use the default Apple Mail app for their email, no matter the provider. When Outlook goes down it is an inconvenience, and thoughts of a cybersecurity-related cause are never far from the mind. However, truth be told, this is rarely the case. Indeed, a failed update is most commonly to blame. Microsoft has, it must be said, something of a history with dodgy updates. I\u2019ve reported on a Windows security update that broke VPN connections, and a Windows 10 extended security update that failed to install, for example. <\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s the turn of iPhone users to feel the Microsoft update pain, it would seem. This time impacting just iOS users when accessing Outlook and Hotmail from the default Mail app. Microsoft confirmed the April 27 outage, stating: \u201ciOS users may experience issues accessing Outlook and Hotmail from the default Mail app,\u201d in an official service status posting. <\/p>\n
