Multiple users reported issues accessing their staff/faculty email, seeing a 404 (page not found) error on trying to reach Outlook website, or slowness/loading errors once the page is open. The Outlook client (installed on the computer) was less affected, so users having issues on the website may still have been able to access their email using the client.

This was a global Microsoft incident and was not related to the recent Microsoft environment changes.
