    @Outlook I've been hacked and the person has changed my login info for all my apps. They have changed the password for my outlook so I can't get in to fix it. I've tried your online chat function all day, unable to get through. They have changed the verification method too.

    @RossSmithIV @Apple @Outlook Fortunately, my need for a watch with my calendar on it has been somewhat limited for pandemic reasons. So, see if you can get that fixed before we get out of lock down. Kthx. :)

  • THX1138_2014 WiffleWaffle (@THX1138_2014) reported

    @Outlook A better question - what the hell have you done to Outlook. It now crashes several times a day when access IMAP accounts. This is NOT PC or account related - it happens across different IMAP accounts on different PCs. Your QC is dreadful. FIX THE BUGS FIRST!!!!

  • stshank Stephen Shankland (@stshank) reported

    @marypcbuk @Outlook Gmail sort of kind of tried to move from labels to folders, so maybe the problem is that my preferred organizing scheme is losing out overall.

  • jonnythegreek John Greechan (@jonnythegreek) reported

    Is there a worse app for iPad than @Outlook ? Asking for a broken keyboard.

  • MrFallenSugar Mike (@MrFallenSugar) reported

    @Outlook why are you so horrible for developers? I have a project which just resends messages to real email. And it has zero delivery to Hotmail. And the main problem that I cannot fix it

  • boctorbill Bill Cernansky (@boctorbill) reported

    @Outlook It’s broken in safari too. Some stuff works and other stuff doesn’t. Y’all are killing it today

  • Yolkingaround D (@Yolkingaround) reported

    @Outlook People would really appreciate if the search function worked. Always buggy and never works properly. Your aware of the issue, think about how many people are affected. Your team should be embarrassed that email doesn’t function perfectly by 2021.

  • tonyshoey Tony Schumacher (@tonyshoey) reported

    @somewriter @Outlook Tried that mate. Problem is you have to run the rule manually which defeats the object of it. Been looking everywhere for a way to make the rules run automatically to no avail! Thanks though.

  • boctorbill Bill Cernansky (@boctorbill) reported

    @Outlook Also, that web site is not working right in Firefox

  • Suppermik346 Michael Stanley (@Suppermik346) reported

    HEY @Microsoft @Outlook **** YOUR PRIVACY STATEMENT!!! IVE GOT A ******* PROBLEM, YOU NEED TO ADDRESS IT!

  • MikeNTGdS Navigatore Mike (@MikeNTGdS) reported

    @Outlook Regards But never using Microsoft anymore since my last and old "hotmail" address got terribly useless... Reporting as phishing/scam and blocking don't work at all. Dozens and dozens of undesired messages received daily. Terrible nightmare. Ridiculous Microsoft service.

  • jimwpco Jim (@jimwpco) reported

    @outlook In Office 365 home, I'm trying to send an encrypted email with Outlook that has a PDF file attached and it bounces back undeliverable. Error: “Your message couldn’t be delivered because it couldn’t be decrypted” DSN code 5.7.1 in Exchange online -Office 365.

  • mevinayshah StayHome StaySafe (@mevinayshah) reported

  • Ukhalalscene MJ (@Ukhalalscene) reported

    This new Microsoft outlook sucks *** @Outlook fix up

  • Roodey86 Ruud Slagman (@Roodey86) reported

    @Outlook Managing them on mobile device ruins the formatting (bold, highlight, italic). You should fix this so we can truly manage tasks on the go!

  • missstod_mfl Miss C Stoddart (@missstod_mfl) reported

    @Outlook my hotmail account cannot send emails. I’ve gone through all troubleshooting and the issue lies within my actual account. I’ve spoken to Microsoft support and they’ve told me to speak to you. Can you DM me please?

  • WhatDreaThinks Andrea (@WhatDreaThinks) reported

    @Outlook Are you experiencing any problems with Exchange? My company email is not updating.

  • BradPrick Brad Prick (@BradPrick) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE your iPhone badges. They only update IF you open the app, which is non-sense even if my desktop solution is ALSO yours (Outlook!). You kill cool feats like QUICK ACTIONS (3D touch / Long Press notification to mark as read, archive or delete) Broken for 3 years.

  • nurse_ameera 🧚🏻‍♀️ (@nurse_ameera) reported

  • escodelrio Escobar Del Rio (@escodelrio) reported

    @Outlook Every time I try to modify or setup new email rules on desktop Outlook the application crashes. I looked online and it seems this has been a problem for a while now. Any word when this infuriating bug will be fixed?

  • tonyshoey Tony Schumacher (@tonyshoey) reported

    Why is Outlook so terrible at blocking emails? Tried everything after being added to an email chain yet I'm still being bombarded by emails every hour. Make it stop @Outlook make it stop.
