To our customers:

Like so many other businesses around the world, Potomac Elevator's email is down after Rackspace Hosted Exchange suffered a catastrophic global outage beginning December 2nd and is still ongoing as of 4;30PM (EST) December 4th.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working to restore our email capabilities by migrating our customers to Microsoft 365 service. We should be back up and running in the next 24 hours.

In the meantime, please call (202) 244-2333 or (410) 837-0000 if you need to reach us.

Thank you,
