  • poetrypapi_ Ty’rone (@poetrypapi_) reported

    I love the outlook app but recently it keeps putting all important work emails in junk and prioritising foolishness like Spotify and Showcase cinema in my focused inbox. @Outlook fix up

  • Tambulla Tanvir (@Tambulla) reported

    Recently I decided to go 'passwordless' for my @Outlook account, where instead of asking for a password, I get a pop up on my phone asking me to accept the login. The last few days I've been spammed with the login notification saying someone in the US is trying to login (1/9) 🧵

  • NoorienaD Nooriena Davids (@NoorienaD) reported

    @Outlook is there still a problem with the email portal?

  • mhoutman Michiel Houtman (@mhoutman) reported

    @Outlook Now we only need IMAP notifications again. Not working for > 6 months 😡

  • bonobochick Miss D. 📚 🎀 📺 🎬 (@bonobochick) reported

    I swear the recent @Outlook android app updates keep freezing the app so no new inbox messages to show up. 😑 Then I uninstall to reinstall, the app tells me "an error occurred" when I attempt to add my account til it connects. Very tedious to go through. Do better, @Microsoft.

  • shamster24 Shamira Port-Louis (@shamster24) reported

    @Outlook how do I fix my account? Someone from Vietnam tried logging in to my account and now I can't fix it, nothing's working!

  • jamesliammcd James McDermott 🌈 (@jamesliammcd) reported

    @Outlook hello! for the last 24 hrs, when I reply to emails from my hotmail account, I receive the email 'Remote Server returned '550 5.7.520 Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam. AS(4810)'. Do you have any advice on how to rectify this? Thanks

    @Outlook what did you do to the search feature? It is HORRENDOUS as of 6-8 months ago something changed. I search for an email I sent 2 hours ago using EXACT words/names but nothing comes up in results? Many colleagues having same issue. FIX IT #microsoftoutlook #outlook #email

  • SafraAnver Safra Anver (@SafraAnver) reported

    @Dhivaagar @gmail @Outlook I find managing emails, tasks to do very messy on it. Sometimes emails go missing too or hidden which is annoying. I don't know if it's a 365 issue. On Gmail it's so easy to find whatever you need.

  • wedoAzure Joe Carlyle (@wedoAzure) reported

    @thommck @Office365 @Outlook This happened to me a few weeks back, it also tied in with Outlook not working properly anymore. Had to reset. Hasn't reappeared since. iOS

    .@Outlook mail search is so terrible I have to open my work email in gmail 7 or 8 times a day to find emails from within the last month, then send them to myself to edit in outlook. Cool UX win!

    @Outlook on IOS is giving me hard time logging into my AD account.. I have multiple accounts setup, and when one of the AD account needs credentials, I just can’t enter and app goes into continuous loop, jamming my keyboard throughout iPhone! I wonder if this is a known issue?

  • damnelace Aspiring Adult (@damnelace) reported

    @Outlook keeps promoting me to sign in after hours. This is violent and abusive!!!

    @Outlook - is "single key reading" using spacebar to advance the reading page supported in 365 version 16.49 on Mac ?? Not working for me, and cannot find it in settings like on Windows. thx.

  • 5PriscillaKing Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported

    Hi @BookTasters, Internet connection is back, but as it's raining it's very slow and fragmentary. If you can re-send the last DM as a regular tweet it may open for me before the week is over. @Microsoft @Outlook is hopeless in this weather.

  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @FerventGeek @Outlook On the plus... I can skim down the list of required responses it identified and make sure I addressed them all. The rest is noise to me.

  • raserapedro Pedro Rasera (@raserapedro) reported

    This is all happening in the web version of Outlook, which is _better and more modern_ than the desktop version. I don't get why @Outlook has so many UX issues. There's a golden standard for email, which is @gmail. It isn't rocket science to figure out these basic workflows.

  • jamesliammcd James McDermott 🌈 (@jamesliammcd) reported

    Twitter... I use #Outlook/#Hotmail when I've sent emails in the last 24 hours, they bounce and I receive 'remote Server returned '550 5.7.520 Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam. AS(4810)'. Help! Any advice? @Outlook

  • pseudokings the pseudokings (@pseudokings) reported

    Fix the damn @Outlook app on Android, @Microsoft @MicrosoftHelps. Emails load stupidly slowly, incomplete, or sometimes not at all.

  • MomAnnamom Anna mom (@MomAnnamom) reported

    @Outlook are you down? Trying to re install just keeps pending.

  • TetonTrading TetonTrading (@TetonTrading) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook would you please move the email search bar down from the top and back to where it belongs directly above email please? Where it was in previous outlook versions? Who asked for this? The answer is no one. Insane.

  • 8ballbrad Graywulf Says #KidneyforMinty!!! (@8ballbrad) reported

    @Outlook Is Outlook Live down? I haven't gotten any emails since friday, and I'm awaiting a verification email.
