The White House suffered an outage in its unclassified e-mail Thursday morning, communications director Dan Pfeiffer said Thursday.

The administration lost e-mail shortly before 8 a.m., Pfeiffer said on Twitter, and crews are on the spot to solve the problem.

He tweeted: FYI: WH unclassified email went down shortly before 8 AM. Verizon is working to solve the problem.Pool reports will be avail in press office

In the meanwhile, the press corps will have to revert to tactics from the 1990s: They'll have to gather their pool reports in hard-copy form.

Alternatively, the White House Correspondents' Association is reportedly e-mailing the reports to those who cover Obama.
