    Anyone else notice that @outlook in @Office365 is VERY slow to load the calendar since the last update?

  • wilhil William Hilsum (@wilhil) reported

    Anyone know why @Outlook "view on server" is disabled on shared mailboxes? Found articles stating known issue in 2016, but, surely it can't still be broken? I Need to download hundreds of old attachments across folders and OWA is painfully slow. 1/2

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @macfixer @Outlook It wasn't, but it is now - a new build with the fix is available. Try updating to the latest, hopefully that'll get you going again. (This all assumes you're in the beta channel, which is where both the bug that I'm guessing you saw and the fix occurred.)

  • ellerush1 Elle (@ellerush1) reported

    @humxcho @Outlook Having the same issue and they stop responding after the first time. I know the password but i still need to prove its me through the recovery email. No automatic email is being sent so i can verify. How exactly am i meant to prove its me? I lost my previous account the same way.

  • randush randush (@randush) reported

    @Edison_apps Been using the app for years on iPhone, iPad & Mac, could never make it the only email app because of an issue with replying to messages from WordPress websites; always replies to myself even though “Reply to” is specified. Doesn’t happen with @Outlook, @SparkMailApp

  • TheLisaCapron Lisa Capron 🦄 (@TheLisaCapron) reported
