    @asgrim @Outlook The problem is, Outlook does not differentiate between the use cases and requests all possibly necessary permissions at once, just in case. But yeah, it stinks 😕

    @Outlook Our office uses Outlook but we are looking into changing. We have a constant issue that they cannot seem to repair. Outlook has gone downhill since 2010. Just awful. Bad for business.

    @Outlook @LewisCollege Don't be happy, you tell your tweeting customers to DM and then you never check your dms. We call your support and they keep telling us, Server Issue. It might take a month. Wtf!

  • cnoevl21 Christopher Anthony (@cnoevl21) reported

    .@Outlook what have you done to the website? It is terrible! So many #bugs. Hit delete, takes like 10 seconds for it to happen. pinned emails, come and go at random. the ad shows up randomly (looking like an email) and shifts the actual emails. It is almost unusable #outlook

  • JessCar_xx Jessica♎️💀 (@JessCar_xx) reported

    @Outlook is the server emails down because they aren't refreshing or being sent at all which is very frustrating!

  • MichaelEly21 Michael Ely (@MichaelEly21) reported

  • hellokaiperoo KAI 👓 (@hellokaiperoo) reported

    Hi @Outlook/@MicrosoftHelps, we've been having problems sending and receiving important work e-mails. For those of us communicating via e-mails, this has completely hindered our routines and blocked our progress. Can you please help us with this? Thank you.

  • HayleyjaneSimmo Hayley Jane Simmons (@HayleyjaneSimmo) reported from Brentwood, England

    @Outlook @chetanparmar91n Please help. My Hotmail is down. Emails not sending. All over the place. Can you advise?

  • chrismnicola Chris Nicola (@chrismnicola) reported

    @Outlook Oh wow just realized that 'p' and 'n' were mapped as "previous" and "next". No... just... no. Please fix this. Doing this is like a video game mapping wasd to u-up, d-down, l-left, r-right. I mean I get it, your designer has never heard of VIm.

  • Jackintx85 jackintx (@Jackintx85) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Two factor authentication for Hotmail is still not working. This is pathetic! I have been locked out of my email since last 3 days. You guys haven't been supportive. Neither can I find a way to ask for support. #microsoft #microsoftoutlook #hotmail

  • Badasss91448909 Badasss (@Badasss91448909) reported

    @Outlook your app is broken.why can't i paste text in search area?

  • ahsaanulhaqlone Ahsaan Ul Haq Lone (@ahsaanulhaqlone) reported

    @LewisCollege @Outlook No, they are worst. They don't provide support to their customers. Who stuck by their side since the advent of Gmail. Yet these Microsoft idiots never support. They never accept their problems. They will tell you to wait for one month.

    @Outlook - the layout on Web Access is not very well thought-out. starters the icon should be yellow 2nd the Web Access layout need to be much clearer... i work with hundreds of invoices & if probs w desktop version then Web version slows me down immensely.
