Email Service Slow

Tuesday, November 13, 2018

9:45 AM: University IT confirmed that the email service issue was caused by problems with CENIC's California Research and Education Network (CalREN), which is used by some Microsoft clients – including Stanford – to reach Microsoft services. CENIC corrected the issue on its network and email services are operating normally. If you experience any additional issues with email, please submit a help request

9:30 AM: Microsoft is experiencing similar issues with other of its west coast clients and is working to isolate and correct the problem. Updates to follow.

9:00 AM: Clients continue to experience delays accessing and using email services both through webmail.stanford.edu and other email applications (e.g., Outlook, Apple Mail). The issue appears isolated to connections from the Stanford network. Access from non-Stanford network locations (via other network providers) appear to be working normally. Engineers are continuing to work to isolate the issue. Updates to follow. 

8:30 AM: Additional reports indicated issues with other services (e.g., Oracle Financials, Axess).
