My work email is down.
The companies I work with in India and China also don't have working email.
My wife's hotmail is also not working.
@futurebird $(workplace) runs their own everything - we are a full stack provider (well... sorta-kinda I guess)
Own mail: some of the public ones work. All? Yeah, beats me 😁
@futurebird My personal email is working, my work email is not
@futurebird Work Outlook is fine, they have a on prem solution just for this reason.
my private oytlook that I'm working on moving away from ... is dead as a dodo
@futurebird My Outlook email isn't working, but that's mostly my backup email. My main one is Gmail. My OneDrive seems to be accessible.
If your opsec is so high and mighty you can't even vote on a fedi poll about a global outage IDK if I'm impressed or suspicious that you are putting on airs... or if you think I have powers of hacking I simply do not have.
@futurebird none of the above. I'm just being cheeky.
also I'm just hearing about this email outage now
@futurebird Will have to vote later. I took outlook of my phone (use it for work only).
I just want to get a sense of how many this outage has touched. I think a lot of us in academia are just fine because google dominates education.
Consider what a google outage would look like.
@futurebird at my institution, a worldwide leading IT school, place 11 or 12 or so, we use Microsoft. And it bleeds my heart whenever I enter "outlook.com" in the navigator...
Well, yesterday evening it was a good feeling :)
@futurebird I don't use either 🙃
Happy with my own mail server.
@futurebird My wife's in academia, but her MS account seems to be fine for some reason 😂
@futurebird UNC runs on Outlook ...
"subscribe to incident"
um. no thanks. I'm good. I would like to please block "the incident" thank you
I just got this email from my kid's school (NYC public school)
> Good morning,
> It has come to our attention that there is a systemwide email outage - no DOE employee has been able to access or respond to emails since late yesterday morning.
@futurebird in the UK most universities use MS for mail and many other things.. We are completely dependent 😢 (but why did we choose to be dependent on a US company? I have no idea)
@futurebird at least my personal, self-hosted email works. I moved the server yesterday evening, and sent a message on our family Signal to say that they should expect some outage.
This morning they complained that it still doesn't work. But they were talking about their work/school email on MS... Traitors!
@futurebird Yes but I have Gmail
@futurebird Stores and websites that require an email get my Hotmail address - and it’s been blissfully silent. This is what it should always be like if they respected our rights to not be inundated with junk mail.
