[German]On March 1, 2025, Microsoft users of MS 365 worldwide were confronted with a disruption to services from around 9:3o p.m. (CET). The disruption was reported as resolved a few hours later. Over the weekend, however, I saw indications that problems were occurring again. Today, March 3, 2025, a reader informed me that the disruption is occurring again (thanks for that).
Exchange Online service disruption back (March 3, 2025)
German blog reader Georg has just contacted me by email and notes that he was affected by the Microsoft 365 disruption at the weekend. Today, Monday, March 3, 2025, he is also experiencing issues with Microsoft 365 at work. I have just checked German downdetector (allestoerungen.de) and found the following picture:
Around 5:00 a.m. (CET) this morning, the number of issue reports starts to rise again – even if the number of reports is still low. Outlook users seem to be particularly affected. However, the Microsoft Office status page does not currently show me any disruption. Microsoft365Status on X does not yet have a new message either.
Exchange Online issue
However, blog reader Georg has sent me the content of the Exchange Online error message EX1021490 in the administrator portal (thank you). Microsoft writes that there may be problems accessing email messages in the native iOS mail app.

How is the situation with you, anyone affected by the disorder?
Have a similar problem since saturday using native Samsung mail app. It periodically throws me a "Sign-in failed" prompt, but the connection fixes itself as soon as i retry it.
