Microsoft’s Outlook.com email service has been inaccessible since early Wednesday for customers who use several Redmond-made email clients, including those bundled with Office 2003, 2007 and 2010.

As of 8 p.m. ET, service to those customers had not been fully restored.

“We have rolled out a fix to address this issue.
