Hot Take:

Microsoft must have a secret mission to keep IT departments on their toes, because who else would release an update that sends your email to quarantine faster than a sneeze on a crowded subway? If only Microsoft Outlook could sync as well as it sinks! From emails going AWOL to Teams turning into a slideshow of blank stares, Microsoft’s recent server stumbles suggest they might need to take a holiday from their own cloud.

Key Points:

  • Outlook mobile users experiencing 12-hour email sync delays due to Hybrid Modern Authentication (HMA) issues.
  • The problem arose from a recent service change intended to enhance mailbox sync efficiency.
  • Microsoft has deployed a fix, but it’s unclear how widespread the impact is.
  • Microsoft Teams users are also facing issues with blank screens and freezes on the desktop app.
  • Previous problems included DNS misconfiguration and Outlook client crashes.
