OUTLOOK BLEAKMicrosoft Outlook DOWN as problems leave thousands of users unable to access their emails – as Skype and Xbox customers also report problems

MICROSOFT'S email service Outlook apparently went down earlier and prevented thousands of users from accessing their messages.
Those trying to log in were said to have been hit with an error page since the issue was first reported around midday.
Skype users were also said to be having trouble logging in and Xbox owners were reportedly struggling to access their "Live" accounts.
Both are run by Microsoft.
Issues with Outlook were said to have been reported across Europe and the US.
At roughly 7.30pm in UK the email service appeared to back up and running.

Twitter user Pablo Sanz tweeted at Microsoft Support: "Not working for me.
"I can access via web, not in iPhone mail client.
"I get blank page after the user/password validation."
Microsoft replied: "Hi Pablo, we're aware of this issue.
"Our engineers are already working for a fix.

"Please bear with us."

Last month Microsoft founder Bill Gates, reportedly worth around £65billion, said his favourite snack is a cheeseburger.
It had earlier been reported that the tech genius will become the world's first trillionaire within 25 years.
In October last year Microsoft unveiled a new folding desktop called the Surface Dial.
