Earlier delays were caused by changes in delivery behaviour on Microsoft’s consumer email platform. Microsoft confirmed the issue was not isolated to our environment. After coordination with relevant providers, normal delivery speed has been restored. Please contact us if you are still experiencing issues at support@areaofpeople.com.

We are seeing slower-than-usual delivery for emails sent to @outlook.com domains. Messages are not lost, but may take longer to arrive than expected. Our team is actively investigating and working with relevant providers to restore normal delivery speeds as quickly as possible.
