    @berniemaloney @Outlook Oh well spelling error. Thanks Twitter, for not letting me edit tweets.

  • wademichael22 wade (@wademichael22) reported

    @Outlook is there an outage with the server ?! I can't get into my personal Outlook account, or my school Outlook account. I was able to last night, but I can't get into either account right now.

  • jwd531 JW DePriest (@jwd531) reported

    @Outlook , I sent a DM. Having issues with junk mail. I'm not sure if Outlook stopped its own filtering, but I am having issues lately. Thanks.

  • SimonZerafa Simon Zerafa (@SimonZerafa) reported from Haverfordwest, Wales

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Sure. However if that 'fixes' the issue then perhaps there is some way that the Outlook backend could mitigate the problem?

  • DeneishaCall deneisha (@DeneishaCall) reported

    @Outlook please help me reset and login. I think my account has been hacked.

  • LVLollyPopKid Bill S. Preston, Esq. (@LVLollyPopKid) reported

    Update: after bringing the computer home.... It’s down to 92k unread emails in the inbox. By the time I’m done, there will only be 18 months of emails on @Outlook

  • HazMat79 HazMat 79 (@HazMat79) reported

    Is @Outlook having issues with contact lists? It isn't populating the to address with any of my contact lists at the moment and this is incredibly annoying

  • JensenGregory Greg Jensen (@JensenGregory) reported

    In the future, I will support whichever candidate promises to fix @Outlook.com's spam filtering and general bugginess in the desktop browser.

  • kkmett Keith Kmett (@kkmett) reported from West Des Moines, Iowa

    Hey @Outlook did you know you keep crashing after your latest release? I open the app and it shuts down. Reinstalled the app and it worked for about 30 minutes now back to same coding on open. Device iPhone Xs, iOS 14.3

  • tyroleanlass Katherine Bowyer (@tyroleanlass) reported

    Install update, and, bang! @Outlook crashes again and again. Anyone else having the same problem? #microsoftoutlook #crash

  • JodieStafford18 Jodie Stafford (@JodieStafford18) reported

    @Outlook HELP!!! Hi I need to recover a really old email address the recovery form is not working for me please help! HELP

  • DrAndrewFlores 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐑. 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 (@DrAndrewFlores) reported

    Can @Outlook make it easier to have two emails open in one browser? Having to use two browsers and Internet Explorer is terrible with outlook email.

  • m_in_m Martin Chapman (@m_in_m) reported

    @Scott_Helme @Outlook @Ghost It sounds like you might get a similar issue witj anyone using Mimecast if the links are valid once only.

  • mha1der Mario Haider (@mha1der) reported

    @alonbrown @THEKyleMoffatt @Outlook The new outlook search seems to have some bugs. IP addresses are no longer found in some HTML emails - this affects the new Outlook client and Outlook Web. The same search works with the old macOS Outlook client. Please fix.

  • Nemesis4All 🇨🇦 Sauron (@Nemesis4All) reported

    @Outlook It works now. The website kept loading for some reason without giving you access to the sign in page. But as of now it works fine. Thank you!

  • Mr_CPettit Mr_CPettit (@Mr_CPettit) reported

    @Outlook - the new iOS update has led to outlook crashing the moment it opens. From Twitter it looks like this is happening to others....I have an iPhone XR. A quick fix would be great as it’s impacting work.

  • alishaa2001 Alishaa (@alishaa2001) reported

    @Outlook I’m not receiving emails I tried login in and out checked settings everything seems to ok. Are you having technical issues?

  • paulcourt101 Paul (aka Gargoyle) (@paulcourt101) reported

    @Scott_Helme @TryGhost @Outlook Ran into a similar problem a few years ago with some single-use links that were emailed out to users. I think we ended up blacklisting a handful of user agents like sendgrid, hotmail link parser, mailchimp, etc.

  • Scott_Helme Scott Helme (@Scott_Helme) reported

    @SimonZerafa @TryGhost @Outlook The problem is I want to push the new subscribe feature but not if it isn't going to work for a bunch of people :(

  • JasJanduLawyer Jas Jandu (@JasJanduLawyer) reported

    Whoever designed these awful, new painfully dulled-down (and yet also sometimes randomly more eye-sore-inducing, fluorescently garish) Category Colours for the latest @Outlook Calendar update needs to book in for an eye-test.

  • GeekTieGuy Oluf Nissen (@GeekTieGuy) reported

    @berniemaloney @Outlook Say what? I didn't know it has that. But yes, like that. To bad Microsoft Outlook is the de facto system in so many companies. It's a slow-moving 500 pound gorilla.

  • gazalucci Garry Deverell (@gazalucci) reported

    @tyroleanlass @Outlook Does it happen with other MS 365 apps? Word? Powerpoint? Excel? If it does, I may be able to help as I’ve been through that myself recently. If the problem is only with Outlook, that will be something different.

  • MisutaaUrufu 🏳️‍⚧️|ミスター・ウルフ|Misutā Urufu (@MisutaaUrufu) reported

    The only account that has access to my passwords is my Apple ID and that is secured with 2FA as well and notifies me on all my devices when something new tries to log on. So, uh, what? /How is my email password being repeatedly broken?/ @Outlook y'all got problems.

  • wademichael22 wade (@wademichael22) reported

    @Outlook I am trying to log on to my school email from Texas A&M University San Antonio ( we use Outlook ). I'm using my Lenovo Yoga laptop. I've never had problems prior to yesterday, but it is now saying my account or password are incorrect ( both of which are false. ) Used daily !

  • space_hey SpaceHey (@space_hey) reported

    @MayorOfEarth @AnTheMaker @Outlook This should've been only a temporary glitch back then! If you want, you can change your email address in your Account settings now!

  • _pallavibajaj pallavi (@_pallavibajaj) reported

    @Outlook why did you mess the search function in recent update? Made it terrible complicated our life further!

  • Im_Mike_Y MikeY (@Im_Mike_Y) reported

    @tyroleanlass @Outlook are you using an ios device? I'm having the same issue

  • phillbraco Phill (@phillbraco) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I have been locked out my account and any help keeps telling me to login to my account I want to speak to a real person and not automated messages as they all tell me to login to my account to get help

  • minipasila minipasila rip 🇭🇰 (@minipasila) reported

    Can @Outlook like fix their shitty filters so I don't have to constantly report phishing scams getting through them?
