Access to Microsoft Outlook has been restored for some users in the UAE, The National can confirm.
Users began receiving emails again on their Outlook accounts starting at about 5.20pm local time, on both desktop and mobile versions of the app.
The restoration comes after Microsoft said on Friday that its email services were being restored in parts of the Asia Pacific region, as it extended its email timeout to 48 hours to resolve an outage that affected systems globally on Thursday.
The disruption affected Outlook, Teams and the Copilot AI service for millions of people, companies and governments around the world on Thursday, and the issue continued into Friday.
