O365 - Email/Outlook: Notice https://status.dal.ca/service.php?Service=6 2026-02-09 10:20:28 Title: Users' MailTips may not reflect free/busy correctly in Outlook desktop and crashes may occur when adding mailboxes
User impact: Users' MailTips may not reflect free/busy correctly in Outlook desktop and crashes may occur when adding mailboxes.
More info: This issue is specific to the Outlook desktop client in organizations with a hybrid environment using Exchange Web Services (EWS) for MailTips. Users may notice that the MailTips free/busy feature isn’t operating as expected and may see an error stating “we can’t show MailTips right now.”
The Outlook desktop crashes occur when attempting to add a new on-premise mailbox.
Admins may be unable to create new on-premise mailboxes and their cross-tenant AutoDiscover requests general may fail from hybrid environments.
Current status: We’ve determined that a routing change for Autodiscover requests introduced a header duplication issue causing a backlog of requests that ultimately fail or timeout, resulting in the impact. We’ve confirmed that, in addition to AutoDiscover failures and Outlook crashes, users may experience the MailTips free/busy feature isn’t operating as expected and may see an error stating “we can’t show MailTips right now.” As we develop a fix to address this issue, affected admins may be able to mitigate the impact by recycling the Autodiscover application pool. We anticipate having an estimation for the delivery of the permanent fix to resolve this issue by our next scheduled update.
Scope of impact: Any admins’ cross-tenant AutoDiscover requests may fail from hybrid environments, causing MailTips free/busy not to show and crashing for users’ Outlook desktop clients when adding additional on-premises mailboxes. This information may be updated as our investigation continues.
Start time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 12:30 AM UTC
Root cause: A routing change for Autodiscover requests introduced a header duplication issue causing a backlog of requests that ultimately fail or timeout, resulting in the impact.
