Are there current IMAP email issues?

Community Power UserI'm not aware of a way to check the status of IMAP.
I use both Outlook on Windows and Mail on IOS with IMAP and they've been working fine for me.
Google upped the security requirements to access their mail servers and older versions of Outlook and IOS needed to be set up with an App password:
iOS 26 Mail and latest Outlook 365 "classic" both use oauth2, and since they both had the issue I don't think it is a software issue.
I wonder if there is a blocking issue-- too many imap connections trigger a temporary imap lockout? I don't know how to tell if such a limit has been hit since the 0x800ccc0e error in outlook or failure to sync in iOS gives no information on why it is occurring. Or maybe it is something else? I don't know how to see the reason for the failure, and that is the most frustrating part of it. It just works sometimes or it doesn't, and then goes back to working again, and it is just the one account, while others are fine.

I don't believe there is any type of blocking for IMAP connections.
Possibly an account/profile issue. It might be worth a try to remove and add the account back.
I did remove and re-add the account on iOS and it had the same issue. Worked, and then didn't for a few hours, and then worked again. It is currently working, but who knows for how long...
