January 15, 2026 - Started 3 months ago - Lasted about 1 hour

Incident Report

We've been made aware of a Microsoft issue affecting all OnSend Office Add-ins within Outlook for Mac, which prevents users from sending emails. This issue seems to be triggered after restarting Outlook for Mac, and first impact was reported around 21:00 UTC Jan 14th 2026. OWA, Classic Outlook on PC, and New Outlook on PC are not impacted. This appears to be specific to the Outlook for Mac client. If this is impacting your users we recommend them to send emails via Outlook on the Web (OWA) until Microsoft release a resolution. We have escalated the issue to Microsoft and are awaiting further information, including a fix timeline and details.  We will update as more information becomes available.
