Comment on Microsoft Outlook Outage Leaves Users Without Email; Tech Company Working On Resolving Issue

  Oh, yeah. Wasn’t actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix, this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.

  Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my hosting provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. “Thank you for your request! We’ll email you the link to your KVM access!” Gahhh.

    So did you do some mx shenanigans or did they email a different address for you?

      Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

      Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄
