Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Metbot65 Neil Metcalfe (@Metbot65) reported

    @Outlook issues with storage limits! Email should allow 15Gb but @Microsoft has 5Gb limit including Email attachments and One drive - this seems dumb, either we have 15Gb of email storage or not? Seems a sneeky way to enforce subscription!

  • KingSnoddy76 Billy King (@KingSnoddy76) reported

    @K_Sheridantweet @Outlook You're lucky you can get into yours, mine just won't even load up now, it's broken :(

    @Outlook What's going on with hotmail? I'm receiving a huge amount of spam /phishing messages (20-30 each day) in my regular inbox the last weeks, which is extremely frustrating 😒. Please fix it

  • tazorack Taz 泰秀樂 (@tazorack) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps can you update outlook? I do not know if this is just outlook online and not the desktop program, but the search is terrible. I searched for email from a specific email address and it shows emails that is related, but not from that specific email address.

  • jonnyfromrhu Jonathan (@jonnyfromrhu) reported

    Hi @Outlook , my email seems to have broken. From no issues at all, it's suddenly showing 115% full and not accepting emails. I've deleted hundreds tonight to no avail. Could you please help?

  • merritt_dominic Dominic Merritt (@merritt_dominic) reported

    @talesofmrst @Outlook @Office Ok. I had this trouble with desktop so I started using the online version.

  • zoumana_keita_ Zoumana (@zoumana_keita_) reported

    Trying to recover my @Outlook account but always receiving back an email (on my Gmail) telling not to have enough information even though I gave all the requested details. @Outlook can you please help me solve this issue from an human assistant? It's urgent! Thank you!

  • ukheather Heather (@ukheather) reported

    So I @MicrosoftHelps & @MicrosoftDevANZ replied saying to use FH (sigh) but said I could DM so I did. They replied saying use FH again (why ask me to dm I don't know) Then @Outlook DM me telling me how to remove a city from the app! They didn't read the issue/skim read.. 5/

  • ZamboniGuy05 Zamboni Guy (@ZamboniGuy05) reported

    @Outlook is anyone else having issues with iCloud accounts on the Mac and IOS Outlook apps? I can not send or receive any emails from those accounts and not synching either.

  • Phobosknight Phobos (@Phobosknight) reported

    @discord compromised email address, that kept spamming their support while I was also writing in from the same email address telling them that the account was compromised, they are utterly unwilling to speak to me about the issue to even prove my identity. I am hoping that @Outlook's(2/?)

  • talesofmrst JT (@talesofmrst) reported

    Anyone having issues with emails going to their junk/not being sent through? Caused a nightmare at school with external professionals for the past week! @Outlook @Office

    @Outlook Is it really down right now?

  • TracisTreats Dodgers4Life (@TracisTreats) reported

    @Outlook not again!!!! Email filters for hotmail and outlook are not working and all going to my inbox. Help!

  • jonnyfromrhu Jonathan (@jonnyfromrhu) reported

    @AD3Trains @Outlook It makes no sense. I've deleted 15 years worth of emails and hundreds and hundreds of photos over the past few days. It's dropped to 4Gb memory used several time, then randomly within an hour it's back up to 5GB used. I think @Outlook is broken 🙄

  • twitenAdam  twitenAdam (@twitenAdam) reported

    @Ga5h @Outlook hi, problem solved.

  • KevinCallanan Kevin Callanan (@KevinCallanan) reported

    Anyone else having ActiveSync issues with @outlook consumer mailboxes? My outlook client has been “updating” for hours. Killed the app, refreshed, rebooted my phone. No luck. #microsoft #iosapp #outlook

  • MissRachaelCx Rachael C xx (@MissRachaelCx) reported

    @MicrosoftUK @Outlook love to know why when I am trying to log in to cancel a subscription it never allows me to log in with the email I created the account with?! Funny that try every month and unsuccessful so your taking money out my account still though no problem with that👍🏼

  • Real_GonyeaWest Phillip Gonyea (@Real_GonyeaWest) reported

    @Outlook I can't access your website or app. I can't use 2fa to log in. I can't reset my password. What's the issue here.

  • ankurb Ankur Banerjee 🆔 (@ankurb) reported

    Here's the kicker: since a lot of companies use @Outlook as the email service, it would be trivially easy for @Microsoft to allow people to confirm their work email address and issue a portable, digital credential that proves employment history.

  • K_Sheridantweet Katie Sheridan (@K_Sheridantweet) reported

    @Outlook hello, having major trouble with my account not letting me send emails saying storage is full when it is not. One drive appears to be full but I have only used 9gb of my 15 gb storage allowance. I’m aware you have changed things but it’s now a mess, please advise

  • basam_ars mohammed basam (@basam_ars) reported

    @BruceLe00520877 @Outlook I have this same issue

  • D_Mann_UK D (@D_Mann_UK) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook When AI is now sophisticated enough to write poems, why (on the second highest junk filtering setting) is my inbox constantly full spam? Is something broken?

  • twistedfiction4 Patrice Woodbine, Mayor-Bishop of Chucalissa (@twistedfiction4) reported

    So I forgot my @Outlook password and they are putting me through the ringer to get access to my account again but I need to gain access like immediately. I need to talk to a person, not just contact support. How do we fix this?
