Microsoft’s Email Comedy of Errors: When Fixes Take a 12-Hour Coffee Break!
Microsoft is tackling an Exchange Online hiccup that’s left Outlook mobile users in a sync slump. This glitch, linked to Hybrid Modern Authentication, has emails and calendars playing hard to get with a 12-hour delay. Redmond’s team is on the case, ensuring syncs no longer take a 12-hour nap. Hang tight, inbox warriors!

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.
