– We are having problems with e-mail right now and there is a risk that you will not be able to see all your e-mails. We are currently working to restore all services, Microsoft wrote on its website.
Three hours later, Microsoft announced that the company is still working to fix the problem.
The operational problems occurred at a time when Microsoft is trying to move its users from Hotmail to the new Outlook.com. The reason for the operational problems may be related to the migration of the two services, but Microsoft has not commented on these details.
The company hopes to move all Hotmail users to Outlook before the summer.
In addition to the two email services, Skydrive also experienced operational problems for about three hours at the same time. At the time of writing, all services are working normally again.
