Having trouble logging into email this morning? You may not be alone. Microsoft Outlook users reported problems signing into the email client to start the week, with reports starting just before 5 a.m. ET Monday.

Microsoft said on its status page that people logging into Outlook.com might experience intermittent failures, including "too many requests" issues. Others may find themselves unexpectedly signed out.

The company said it was reverting a recent update to see if that helps.

Users reporting errors to Downdetector, which, like CNET, is owned by Ziff Davis, said they were having issues with the client's iOS app. Outage reports on Downdetector had climbed to more than 1,200 as of 9:38 a.m. ET.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
