Issues Using Email Today, 10/10

Starting today, community members have reported issues accessing or using email, both via Webmail and the desktop version of Outlook. The issues range from not being able to log in or load emails to not being able to send messages or view calendar events. We’ve already been in touch with Microsoft and have confirmed that the issue is on their end and is affecting people nationwide. They are currently working towards a resolution.

One thing that has worked for some folks is to try accessing email via a different browser (like Firefox or Safari). If you have any questions about this or if you need help using another browser, please contact the Help Desk at 610-526-7440 or help@brynmawr.edu.
