Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Outlook No this happens every time. I'm not looking for technical support. I'm asking why you think I should continue using Outlook and not switch to a competitor that doesn't have these issues?

  • Pegaustin Pegaustin (@Pegaustin) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @Outlook is customer support down as well. Been trying to get outlook support since Monday. Error report will not open #Outlook. where is customer support? No one is responding. #Microsoft

  • IoTPanic Samuel Archibald (@IoTPanic) reported

    .@Outlook for web is _completely_ broken suddenly and its seriously pissing me off. Typing it removes spaces when auto suggest pops up, and sometimes doesn't register strokes, and just fires random shortcuts. Suddenly started on all machines/instances, thx #Microsoft unusable

  • turneru +urner (@turneru) reported

    @Outlook I’ve been having this same issue for a while now. No push notifications on iOS and have to manually refresh the app to see new emails.

  • IoTPanic Samuel Archibald (@IoTPanic) reported

    @Outlook And no outlook, I am not going to your stupid support page before you reply that, you are a part of one of the the biggest software companies in the world, fix your crap

  • tulipstrader tulipstrader🔺 (@tulipstrader) reported

  • spongedocks spongedocks (@spongedocks) reported

    @Outlook Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to do a fix to get my emails? Anyone? The email support thing is not responding.

  • cruztheOM c r u z (@cruztheOM) reported

    is @Outlook web down?

  • vivianvolz Vivian Volz (@vivianvolz) reported

    My Outlook 365 server is down, and what I don't understand is, where is the outrage? @outlook @Office365 is this a localized phenomenon? It's a terribly inconvenient week for my whole team to be limping through email-land!

  • lisa_schroeder Lisa Schroeder (@lisa_schroeder) reported

    Why does my calendar say Christmas is observed on Friday the 24th but New Year's is observed Monday 1/3. This makes NO sense. @Outlook, this has to be an error, right? Google tells me 12/31 is the observed Federal holiday for New Year's Day.

  • soccerfan1983 Ben (@soccerfan1983) reported

    @ElizzRose @Outlook no seriously, wtf is up with this? I'm trying to attach a 44 kb word document and I get this stupid error. No wonder everyone uses @gmail.

  • EvaNishimwe Eva (@EvaNishimwe) reported

    @Outlook hello. I haven’t been able to receive emails on either of my apple devices since upgrading to iOS 15 in September without opening the app to retrieve. It’s really inconvenient! Is there a fix for this yet?

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported

    @Outlook Hi, I'm in the middle of an important campaign with a client, we're liaising using my Outlook account, which - again - is having issues connecting to the server. I've asked this before and never got an answer - why should I stay with Outlook? Can you answer that?

  • Laica23 Laica (@Laica23) reported

    Hey, @Outlook what is supposed to happen when I have read a message? What is supposed to happen when I have deleted a message? Yes, it's me again and you have still not fixed the most well known issue with your app

  • hrhdodo DoDo (@hrhdodo) reported

    @Outlook The new outlook is so slow and the search option is horrible.

    @Outlook UPDATE - Just tried searching for an email which was received this morning. No results returned. Tried searching my inbox for the letter 'e' - one result returned. Looks like the search feature is completely broken within the Outlook app (classic layout).
