    Did @Microsoft even try to optimize @Outlook on M1? Window mgmt can't handle full screen or windowed mode without looking like it's broken.

  • RC_1976 Ryan Coveyduc (@RC_1976) reported

    @TaraSlone @Outlook @Apple When I was solely working from home, I had no trouble keeping organized. I started back on a 60% in office mandated plan back in October. My head's all over the place.

  • sanixdarker d4rk3r (@sanixdarker) reported

    @Outlook The real question in my mind... if this mail is valid and coming from @Outlook, why they want me to re-signIn ? it makes no sense at all, if they think am a bot, they just have to send me an unique captcha verification linked to my account... by a unique URL for example...

  • D0cB3y D0cB3y (@D0cB3y) reported

    Hi @AuthyHelp! I'm having trouble trying to reset my account, I can't install authy (it seems multi device is not enabled on my account), I don't receive the email on my @Outlook account, can you confirm the reset email was sent?

    I could write 5,000 words on the world-historical flubs I've caused by making errors in selecting "Just this one" or "The entire series" in @Outlook

  • Artex_7 Matthew Davison (@Artex_7) reported

    @Outlook Hi, my emails won't send and keep going into my drafts. is there a way to fix this?

  • gremat82 gremat82 (@gremat82) reported

    @Outlook what is the issue with sending and receiving email the last couple days? I thought it was resolved last night and now it seems broken again. It’s bad on my pc but worse on my iPhone.

  • bebitatee trace (@bebitatee) reported

  • halkitzmiller Hal Kitzmiller (@halkitzmiller) reported

    It is baffling how in 2021 Hotmail and outlook contact photos are broken @Outlook

  • TaraSlone Tara Slone (@TaraSlone) reported

    @AZadarski @Outlook @Apple All my work stuff goes through outlook, so I have no choice there. I realize there are much greater problems in the world, but this is the thorn in my side today!

  • AZadarski Andrew Zadarnowski (@AZadarski) reported

    @TaraSlone @Outlook @Apple One method I use is rather than accepting a meeting invite on my phone I flag it in my inbox as a reminder to action it next time I'm at my desktop, otherwise it would quickly get buried. It's solutionism, but it's at least it's a workaround to the Apple calendar issue.

  • AZadarski Andrew Zadarnowski (@AZadarski) reported

    @TaraSlone @Outlook @Apple I don't use my Apple calendar, although it does theoretically link to my Outlook calendar through an Enterprise server. I noticed that accepting a meeting on my phone doesn't transfer to my Outlook, so I lose meetings. Google Calendar is pretty good across platforms though.

  • frenils Frenil Sheth (@frenils) reported

    @Outlook Issues connecting to the exchange online and profile not loading. Stuck on the splash screen. Multiple users affected.

  • reidgm reidgm (@reidgm) reported

    @TaraSlone @Outlook @Apple Use a paper day timer to write down appointments and meetings. And it has the added benefit of not breaking if you drop it.

  • SannanIqbalUK Sannan Iqbal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 #BlackLivesMatter (@SannanIqbalUK) reported

    Hi @AppleSupport - my emails aren’t coming through to my phone even though I’ve my @Outlook account signed in on my iPhone 8. How do I fix this please?
