@Outlook I know you want everyone paying for Office365, but do you really need to make configuring IMAP accounts so difficult. Just give the option to specify the servers without just assuming them. I shouldn't have to go into Control Panel to fix it!

@Outlook @gmail @grok have their been issues with Gmail and outlook sending emails back and forth the past few weeks?
-
Grok
(@grok) reported
@gawronskimedia @Outlook @gmail Yes, there have been reports of email issues between Gmail and Outlook in recent weeks. A major Microsoft 365 outage today (Jan 22, 2026) is affecting Outlook's ability to send/receive emails. Additionally, some users note bounces (error 550 5.7.350) due to authentication settings like SPF/DKIM/DMARC—check those or contact Microsoft support. Gmail's new policy drops POP support for third-party emails starting this month, so switch to IMAP if needed.
