Outlook.com Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • centurygirl19 Victoria (@centurygirl19) reported

    @Outlook Thanks, but a bit confused - the update page you linked to says “We have not seen any further recurrence of the issue and our telemetry indicates that the service continues to remain healthy” which clearly isn’t the case as my Mail App continually asks me to reenter the password?

  • RyanSpooner14 Ryan Spooner (@RyanSpooner14) reported

    @Outlook On the Windows desktop Outlook client, please can you remove the block that prevents you adding two accounts with the same email address. It's a big issue and means I can't add my live on prem mailbox, and my testing Office 365 mailbox at the same time.

  • charlenegarner charlene garner 💜 (@charlenegarner) reported from Bognor Regis, England

    @Outlook please fix the issue with your app. It’s frustrating having to re sign in every day! Especially when a work email is attached to it as with covid a lot of people are working from home and have more than one email attached.

  • traitken RVAthleticsFan (@traitken) reported

    @Outlook what is wrong with you system it is running so slow. Could fix the damn thing?

  • AnaPAzcarraga Ana Paola Azcarraga (@AnaPAzcarraga) reported

    @Graceoc1 @Outlook Did you solve the problem?? I have the same issue

  • M4SM17CH Frans (@M4SM17CH) reported

    @Outlook I'm having trouble receiving emails, been for a while. I'm past frustration, way beyond breaking point. Different day same issue. If not you it's @EAHelp, if not EA it's you. What's going on? Is anybody hearing my cries?

  • matthewwwwwh Matthew (@matthewwwwwh) reported from Ealing, England

    @Outlook **** off asking me to re-enter my password for my hotmail account, it’s really ******* tedious. Why haven’t you fixed the issue yet?

  • inmaterichard Richard C Law (@inmaterichard) reported

    @Outlook The issue is with the Mail app on my iPhone. Are you referring to the help and settings on iPhone?

  • __Lozzaa Lozz (@__Lozzaa) reported

    @Outlook having issues getting access to my account?? Tried to fill in the form to reset password but still not working?

  • Leumas_7_ Samuel Ball* (@Leumas_7_) reported

    @Outlook i’m getting the error message email not authenticated on my iPhone about five times a day now. This is getting silly!

  • albertooab Beto (@albertooab) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook Daily I have a lot of login attempts from Asian countries lol

  • JpunkRocknrolla rocknrolla (@JpunkRocknrolla) reported

    @Outlook Having major issues accessing my email account

  • Ryan_LR Ryan Robinson (@Ryan_LR) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook I always find these tweets interesting. I don't remember the last time a phishing attack got through to me. My problem is always the opposite: legitimate mail being thrown to junk a couple times a week. Usually newsletters or other automated systems, but still legitimate.

  • phillipsdaz Darren phillips (@phillipsdaz) reported

    @em_darshan @Outlook I think it’s an iOS issue. Hopefully get an update soon to fix this.

  • TheJFisher Jonathan Fisher (@TheJFisher) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Is there a shortcut to getting support for a product I purchased but can't use because of a product key issue?

  • SamGoodhand Sam Goodhand (@SamGoodhand) reported

    Has anybody actually broken it to @Outlook NHS mail that their “upgrade” has succeeded in turning an OK program into one of the clunkiest pieces of NHS IT shite seen in a generation? And let’s be clear - the competition is stiff.

  • ThePharaohsCat Pablo (@ThePharaohsCat) reported

    @dmealo @gmail @Outlook Hi Daniel, Did you use OAUTH to connect your Gmail in the Outlook app? Having trouble.

  • rb1963j Robin Brecher (@rb1963j) reported

    @Outlook Disappointed with failure of outlook to work properly on my phone which is causing an issue with my job. Waiting days for substantive help from MS. Every day delayed is more inconvenience and more work trouble. Why can I not get a clear, complete and concise answer?

  • LiamDMHunn DM (@LiamDMHunn) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook Seems to be up and down. Have periods where it seems to catch everything (including one of their own emails) and then periods like now where nothing gets caught.

  • wolfgangbey Amadeus (@wolfgangbey) reported

    When are you going to fix the mobile outlook issue ? Its been 30 days its not working for gods sake ! @Outlook

  • jwckauman James Auman (@jwckauman) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook thanks. been wondering if Exchange Online would make sense for us (we use on-prem Exchange Server) and was worried that all this talk about MS dropping the ball included enterprise mail services.

  • martbock Martin Bock (@martbock) reported

    Hey @Outlook I cannot access your "Smart Network Data Services" anymore. After login, I get redirected to generic Microsoft account page. Your IP status API responds with "Bad Request" using my API key. Can anyone help please?

  • Damnnn_Daddy The Mexican Fiesta (@Damnnn_Daddy) reported

    Got down to 10 emails. Took a quick 2 minute Twitter break, I look up and see 46 new emails.....from YESTERDAY. @Outlook COUNT YOUR DAYS. 🗣

  • tonijua__ Juanito💥 (@tonijua__) reported

  • katafaf Katie Fyfe (@katafaf) reported

    @Outlook - my account has been hacked & I’ve lost all account access. The account recovery is not working and my contacts are being emailed malware links. How can I temp close the account? #urgent #hacked

  • diaska Dias Aisin (@diaska) reported

    @Outlook there is an issue with syncing of iCloud calendars on Outlook iOS (changes are stored locally, does not fetch / update). Any idea why?

  • Dion_Kubicki Dion Kubicki (@Dion_Kubicki) reported

    Any other iPhone users keep getting asked to re-enter their @Outlook passwords CONSTANTLY?! So annoying, please sort the issue out! #outlook

  • SiliconShecky Shecky (((Mike))) (@SiliconShecky) reported

    @thurrott @Microsoft @Outlook Been noticing more stuff getting through lately also. I have to wonder if some of the O365 issues over the past few months have cause them to weaken things as part of fixes and stabilization.

  • Malachizzle2 BIG RASSCLART M (@Malachizzle2) reported

    @Jefe_SE @Outlook Yeah that shits broken! I stopped using it cos it used to just mess up just download outlook directly
