  • W_0_0_F_Y Gerben S. 🤖 (@W_0_0_F_Y) reported

    @Outlook So is there an actual problem? Because it’s completely unreliable for several days now. By the way, some mails DO come in, I’ve send myself 3 mails, 2 are still lost now and haven’t come in, 1 did immediately. Checked on several networks and devices.

  • ZombiEquinox Jonathan Klein (@ZombiEquinox) reported

    Hey @Microsoft I am glad you're adding new features to @Outlook but instead of new features could you fix your style support so creating emails for Outlook on Windows isn't such a pain in butt? macOS has better styling support than Windows, please fix that.

  • hanissyhr Hanis Syahira (@hanissyhr) reported

    Hi @Outlook, why are emails from gmail not being received by my hotmail account? It's affected my colleagues as well and I've tested it multiple times, so it isn't an isolated problem.

  • bjoycecws Mpathg (@bjoycecws) reported

    @Outlook whats the problem w outlook email? Emails delayed by HOURS on outlook app on android, Windows PC app, your website using both Chrome AND Microsoft Edge. They're not going to junk or spam. Sending email from outlook to gmail fine. I sent you a DM BUT NO REPLY!

    @elxtoro @Outlook I'm applying for a new job too and have been waiting for the delayed emails from Gmail accounts 😭. I eventually received the emails with horrible delayed time ... Hope they'll fix it ASAP.

  • JayWhattheF Jay: What ******** (@JayWhattheF) reported

    @Outlook is the worst email option. Especially when you try to use it on a laptop or desktop. It loads 1 out of every 10 times and then bogs down even the most top of the line systems more often than not. Bleach is the only drink for the people of that company.

  • for59j54 John Ford (@for59j54) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Why is your outlook search feature so poor? Missing so many emails. Been a problem for.....like forever.

  • elxtoro Cristian T (@elxtoro) reported

    @candiesandcokes @Outlook Same issue. My outlook accounts are either not getting emails from Gmail accounts or getting them with a delay of 5 hours. I'm applying to a new job and this issue could cost me this one time chance!!!!

  • W_0_0_F_Y Gerben S. 🤖 (@W_0_0_F_Y) reported

    @Outlook Yeh did that few minutes ago, by the way tested the problem using a different hotmail to send to my own hotmail (using a different network to be sure), receiving immediately, so it seems limited to gmail trying to reach hotmail accounts.

  • 1loriking Lori King (@1loriking) reported

    Anyone woth live dot com emails having problems with focused inbox not loading emails today, but other ( subscription, random) emails going through ok? I can send, but not receiving from 'known' addresses. Cc @Windows @Outlook

  • morganfeldon Mitch Better Have My Money (@morganfeldon) reported

    What the hell did y'all do with the Outlook app on Android. Cannot specify IMAP, POP, Server Ports, just, you enter the server and it fails unless everything is perfect. You cannot get to Settings. You cannot specify a provider type. It's a baby app now. @Outlook

  • acwise AC Wise (@acwise) reported

    @Outlook 2022 has been the year of "Junk Mail in Focused Inbox". For God's sake are you ever going to fix it? #junkmail #hotmail

  • RegecideTips Regecide (@RegecideTips) reported

    @Outlook Is there a human that can help with customer problems??? I've tried the stupid "recovery form" multiple times, but it doesn't work, and there's no email to contact customer support. I live in Africa, and your CS is worse than the Cape Town Metro service

    @Outlook @ParrisEric What’s the problem with outlook users not receiving gmails??? They are not getting bounced back. They are not spam. They just don’t arrive.

  • elxtoro Cristian T (@elxtoro) reported

    @films_must Same issue here. I've been trying to send emails from Gmail to @live.com and @outlook.com accounts, just a few of them have reached the inboxes. I am starting to think the issue comes from Google and not Microsoft since now my Gmail account doesn't even work.
