Microsoft Outlook Server down?Follow
All of UF is having Outlook errors since this weekend as well! Not sure what we use, but things are coming late, disconnecting, or just plain not working. 
Oddly enough, I found out on Saturday that I could send and receive work emails on my phone, but our outlook on our work PC's was borked. They finally figured it out that it was a "local" problem. Our email is finally back up.

And your IT guy is down. On the ground. Being kicked repeatedly.

Yeah, that pretty much reinstates the "your IT guy is an idiot" clause.

Just throwing this out there, since I -am- an IT guy...
Microsoft does host some email services. If you have a program on your system called "Microsoft Online Services Sign-in", then you may be using it.
All of our email administration (quota management, disabling email accounts, resetting passwords) are done by me going to https://admin.microsoftonline.com and logging in. I can provide screenshots if desired.
So while your IT guy may or may not be an idiot, Microsoft's servers do have issues from time to time.

Yeah. I think the point is that when someone can get to the work email from their phone, but not their office, that usually means that it's not the "other end" of the connection that is the problem. Of course, my conversations with the network admins usually goes like this:
Me: Hey. I'm having some problems connecting to <whatever>
Network Admin: Have you tried <X, Y, Z>?
Me: Yeah. Not my first picnic. Done that and traced the problem to what looks like a faulty port on a switch between <A> and <B>. Could you take a look at this?
Network Admin: I'm not seeing a problem. Our reporting thingie would alert us if there was one and it's saying it's all good.
Me: Are you sure? Cause <insert ton of information> indicates that there is a problem and it's right there where I'm telling you to look.
Network Admin: Hmmmm. Oh... <clickity clackity click click clack clickity clack>. Try it now?
Me: Yup. Looks like it's working now. What did you end out doing?
Network Admin: Nothing.
Me: Huh?
Our network guys *never* acknowledge that something was broken. It's become quite the joke.
