    @kfalconspb @Outlook I don't want to send something if it isn't in their working hours or applicable to their time zone. If there isn't something that tells me what that is, then that's a problem. Thus my crux at the moment w/ Outlook.

    @Outlook Hi, I’m having an issue having email notifications push through to my iPhone. I’ve re-installed the app, reset the app internally, ensured notifications are turned on & logged out/in. Running the most updated version of iOS 15.1 & Outlook version 4.2143.0. Please assist?

  • kanchanray Kanchan Ray (@kanchanray) reported

    Finally stopped using @Outlook Android mobile App.. It keeps losing credentials & I have to re-login every 2-3 days. Worked with @Microsoft support team for 2-3 months, even gave them a test account. After countless re-installs - still not fixed.. default Samsung App works fine.

  • RebeccaFrench17 FrenchIllustration (@RebeccaFrench17) reported

    @6Glitz @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps did you get a response? I have exactly the same issue. It works on Safari but everything else I use is in Chrome so that's not helpful!

  • cedickie Scareoline D 🎃 👻 🕷 (@cedickie) reported from Oakland, California

    @Outlook why on earth does it take so many attempts to log in on iOS app? My company has two factor authentication required w/ phone call every 3 days & sometimes it takes 10+ attempts. No issues on desktop. Been happening for close to a year.

  • FrankBarilone Frank Barilone Jr. MBA (@FrankBarilone) reported

    @Outlook Why the heck is Inserting a Hyperlink so buggy! Seriously, it freezes the app like 4:10 times and spinning wheel of death for sometimes minutes, and worse sometimes the app goes full Non-Responsive and you lose work in progress! Super aggravating. Fix this please!

    @Outlook I am connected to the internet and can access other websites without any trouble. It happens on multiple devices and browsers (Firefox on laptop, Safari on tablet). However, I can access and use a different Outlook account online without problems.

    Hey @Microsoft @Outlook what did you do with your latest Android app update? IT SUCKS! My app won't even open so I can see my emails. This is VERY inconvenient as this is my work email! FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!

  • sesquiotic James Harbeck (@sesquiotic) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    @qpheevr @Outlook The York U email server sent one of my assignments straight to spam and it was just luck that I happened to find out the prof hadn’t received it and was on the point of grading me accordingly.

  • John_Dillinga John_Dillinga (@John_Dillinga) reported

    @Microsoft @Windows @Outlook you need to fix your junk mail filters for Hotmail/Outlook because I am getting bombarded again by repetitive spam and phishing emails in my inbox that usually go to my junk mail. I keep reporting them as junk and nothing happens. Over 200 a day!.

  • johamotherofdog ★Joha ★ (@johamotherofdog) reported

    @Outlook For some reason my junk setup isn’t working since last week! Just after scammers is trying to get in my account! I’m trying to contact someone from outlook but there’s no costumer service! I want to fix it, I really don’t want to delete de account since I have 21 years using it!

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    Today’s fun project: sending abject apologies to all the students who thought I was ignoring their requests for extensions/reference letters/help because the ******* overzealous campus @Outlook mail server thought their messages were spam. 😳🤬

  • thewebshaun Shaun (@thewebshaun) reported

    @AverageSophie @Outlook Did you check settings as I suggested? Have you tried to send yourself a test from an alternative email? This isn't an outlook issue. It won't be resolved until you do your due diligence and investigate. Alternatively, I charge $85.00/hour to help people with computers.

  • bi_sapiens_hehe Michał (@bi_sapiens_hehe) reported

    @Fairbanks357 @mozthunderbird @Outlook if it ain't broke, don't fix it

  • janie_pearl67 Pearl Janie (@janie_pearl67) reported

    @Laurenx2192 @Outlook I got similar issue with my account , @Charon_Solution could get it back! it is legitimate and does not defraud

  • qpheevr Q. Pheevr (@qpheevr) reported

    I hate @Outlook, and all the sleazy bullshit the server does to make life difficult for anyone who dares to use a different e-mail client just makes me all the more determined never to use theirs. #pine4ever
