"We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we get everything back up and running."

Ezat Dayeh, Systems Engineering Manager at data management company Cohesity, told us: "Customers affected by this latest outage of an email service will be pulling their hair out but so too will business leaders within the provider.
"Downtime like this can cost business millions every year in hidden ways and must be fought against using all available resources.
"It's not clear whether this is a hardware or software incident right now, but a service like this which disappears for even a few minutes, let alone hours or days can cause a business tremendous losses.
"The impact on brand and reputation damage for a provider that suffers an outage can't be ignored."
