    @Outlook @gmail EMAIL IS FRACKED SPREADS TEXT OUT OVER PAGE LEAVING GAPS SNAIL MAIL ONLY CORRECT LAY OUT this is so morally wrong fix your product or change your name to @Kodak once the most renowned name in the world for 100 years

  • BenMarks Ben Marks (@BenMarks) reported

    Okay #LazyWeb: how do you quickly flag emails for followup in @Outlook for iOS? • I dislike flagging, which seems broken in latest version • I can right-click and create an appointment; works, but a bit cumbersome Add-ins or native, I'll be in your debt.

  • SamFotofiend David Samuel (@SamFotofiend) reported

    @Outlook this page stinks of incompetence criminal emails need 2 B blocked and marked as phishing @gmail Is structurally unsound two lines of text is spread across and down the page besides being a venue for hookers.

  • Yato_Gamii Elias (@Yato_Gamii) reported

    @Outlook can you open my dm, I have an urgent issue with your service :(

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported

    @Outlook As I've said with my compaints before, it's not an individual customer support issue, it's a general question about the quality of Outlook vs your competitors. It doesn't need to go to DMs.

  • LarkDav13265591 Lark Davis (@LarkDav13265591) reported

    @Outlook I got an issue with my account but hack_law400 on Instagram got my wallet unlocked...

  • TomJSeiple Tom Seiple (He/Him) 🌹 (@TomJSeiple) reported from Ann Arbor, Michigan

    @lukesillies @Outlook … after every hand-off. All the while, their apps and tech solutions offered no channels for problem solving.

  • ErnestPeniel Wolverinu_Lover💪🚀🇳🇬🇳🇬 (@ErnestPeniel) reported

    Please guys help me retweet this. I can't receive new emails in my @Outlook email. That means I can't send cryptos to any exchange or wallet 😭😭. I don't know what the problem is. I reached out to @Outlook but they're not replying back.

  • JVoqar Jolly Voqar (@JVoqar) reported

    @Outlook If you're typing an email and one/several of your 50 rules setup to process the endless azure & teams spam fires, it takes the focus away from what you're typing, and contributes to the insanity of humanity. Please fix. PS - all your auto support tools are intolerable

  • hannahbaker1990 HGB (@hannahbaker1990) reported

    @Outlook please stop rendering emails through Word, it causes so many formatting issues!

  • LuciferChloe_ 🕯️Sheri🕯️#RejoinEU (@LuciferChloe_) reported

    @Outlook good morning team, Since the last update march 2022 from you, I keep getting unwanted junk mail in my Focused Inbox?? I never had that problem before. Ever. When is this going to be fixed? I'm going back to Gmail if this continues. I've done the usual tips and tricks 😭

  • CamillaLatham30 Camilla SL Latham (@CamillaLatham30) reported

    @Outlook Hi, is there any issues with outlook? I had an unread message since last night and it won’t go. But no email?? 🇬🇧

  • phishphood44 LMB (@phishphood44) reported

    @Outlook Hey Guys... I am having issues with my hotmail email that I have used for about 20 years. I have been going in circles with you customer support protocol online. I am two seconds away moving all my email to my gmail account at this point... I need assistance

  • lukesillies Luke Sillies (@lukesillies) reported

    @TomJSeiple @Outlook Outlook is an odd example of differing UX based on your platform. I don't have a outlook app license (why is that a things) so I use the web version. Which has minimal parallels to the app. With today's dev options, that difference is a deliberate choice, not feasibility issue.

  • chris_hansson Christoffer Hansson (@chris_hansson) reported

    @Outlook Please fix your iOS app. When replying to an email, the preview shouldn’t auto-scroll to the bottom of it. What I’m replying to is at the top of the email. This seriously makes your app almost useless to me.

  • lukesillies Luke Sillies (@lukesillies) reported

    I often think about disruption and how good UX should win out. But then I have spent 2 hours (not a joke) trying to figure out how to ask permission to see someones calendar on @Outlook on web. One article suggest a button then said, "If having trouble consult an IT professional"

  • LaryssaDurschl1 Laryssa Durschlag (@LaryssaDurschl1) reported

    @Outlook @okta Having a problem signing into my work account regarding "too many password attempts and suspended from logging in" please help

  • td_port td_port🇺🇦 (@td_port) reported

    Hey @Microsoft - why does @Outlook change the default mail view every time I click to the calendar and back again? Issue has been out there for years- go Google it- and fix it. #ugh

  • dominikconrads Dominik Conrads (@dominikconrads) reported

    @Outlook and again I get no push notifications for new mails from an exchange account with the iOS app. This is a dealbreaker for a mail client. What’s broken?

  • Jeremy974_TM ᴀʙʙʏɢᴀɪʟ | Jeremy974®™ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Jeremy974_TM) reported

    And once again, for the 24th time since the start of the year, @Outlook proves itself unreliable when receiving mails... those traveling within Microsoft's servers are A-OK, but those coming from elsewhere... NOPE. @MicrosoftHelps Fix outlook.

  • eealxndr Emily Alexander (@eealxndr) reported

    Free idea: a "transfer responsibility" feature in @Outlook so I can give existing meetings to new owners without them having to set up new meetings and then having to delete old series... Cut down on dozens of silly 'invitation/cancellation' emails

  • tphakala Tomi P. Hakala (@tphakala) reported

    please @Outlook stop enforcing new Outlook on mac, its terrible

  • jenn jenn.com (@jenn) reported

    wtf. It's always @Microsoft @outlook. Outlook is now bouncing messages I am sending to a board member with an "Invalid SPF" error after it has validated a passing SPF?!? WTF. Sigh.

  • ActorCapone Jay (@ActorCapone) reported

    What @MicrosoftHelps needs to do is fix the scam emails that keep coming to peoples focus inbox in the @Outlook app.

    @theSdev @Outlook Where u able to fix the issue? I’m having the same problem as well

  • lrichardson727 ʞooן noʎ ǝpɐɯ (@lrichardson727) reported

    @gmail has a new view. It was horrible and they made it worse. Now it's round and a fat bar down the left ya can't get rid of. Excessive padding all over. Instead of trying to mimic @Outlook and #Windows11 why not work on supporting email standards like mail priority?

  • AlyaqoubYusuf Alyaqoub Yusuf (@AlyaqoubYusuf) reported

    Hello @Outlook I am trying to login in to my email account from a new phone, but I keep getting a verification request via my old phone number. I tried every solution possible so can you help ?

  • SpotterJason7G Jason Thompson (@SpotterJason7G) reported from Lewiston, Maine

    Is anyone having issues sending emails on @Outlook like I have all day?? #Outlook #EmailDown

  • drydryruins Andrew Thai Dang (@drydryruins) reported

    @MicrosoftAU @Outlook @Microsoft My email locked for no reason. I’m going to make a complaint here cause this is done in error and if you’re doing this to “protect” customers then why can’t you be like discord and ask the recovery if it was the user. Also the form isn’t good.
