  • kaizin__ Kaizin Sadri (@kaizin__) reported

    Is someone facing issues with their @gmail logins? I am unable to connect on either of my ids. Ironically it says the account does not exist. So up till now what was I using? @Outlook perhaps...

  • _snowthunder julie (@_snowthunder) reported

    @Outlook been getting randomly signed out of outlook on my iPhone X's Mail app a lot recently, noticed the problem also occured for others, is the team still looking into this?

  • GolgariGlenRoss Golgari's work is never done. (@GolgariGlenRoss) reported

    @trickjarrett @Outlook That would alleviate the "hey, you didn't fill out your timesheet" problem for me.

  • WillJMeddings Will Meddings (@WillJMeddings) reported

    2) Set Outlook to only go to the server periodically so you don’t get distracted. Control the inflow. 3) If you’ve got work to do, turn off @Outlook You don’t need it there, staring at you. Close it. 3/n

  • Mikey_R_B Michael B (@Mikey_R_B) reported

    @Outlook Hi there, for weeks now my Hotmail and Outlook accounts on your iOS app prompt me to re-login every few days. It’s infuriating and it doesn’t happen with my Gmail acct also running through the Outlook app. What’s happening and when will it be fixed?

  • USAnwalt USAnwalt (@USAnwalt) reported

    Testing @Outlook with its own password disables @Skype with different password. WTF @Microsoft. Same unified, less secure **** as Google did with forcing across the board login and tracking? I guess one of the apps has to go again.

  • Anninikareniux1 Anakaren Valdez (@Anninikareniux1) reported

    @Outlook login is down

  • nckfallin Nelson Oscar (@nckfallin) reported

    @Outlook is the app down? It freezes up when I select a message and it won’t show any message at my primary inbox.

  • josephe_anne Josèphe-Anne (@josephe_anne) reported

    @ImprovementU @Jackl_1996 @Outlook Well, it's down again! 😡😠 I'm getting REALLY FRUSTRATED now! People have things to do you know! Get your act together, #Outlook! This problem should have been solved by now.

  • FredTassin Fred Tassin (@FredTassin) reported

    @Outlook Are you going to fix your Junk mail algorithms one day, or would you rather have us all switch to Gmail ? For Christ sake, even emails from Microsoft go to Junk 🤬

  • alokshinde Alok Shinde (@alokshinde) reported

    Gmail down again. . . God is giving you all another chance to move to @Outlook.

  • Jackl_1996 Jack Lewis (@Jackl_1996) reported

    @Martin_91rr @Outlook Well won’t get much help off them it seems. Terrible customer service

  • Timnix127 Tim Nix (@Timnix127) reported

  • alpuzz Al Puzzuoli (@alpuzz) reported

    Hi @MsftEnable, Trying to enroll a couple machines into the Windows Insider Program. If I try to sign into the program under settings using my @outlook.com microsoft account, I receive the "You Can't Sign In Here With A Personal Account." message. Any idea why? Thanks.

  • jeffreykalvass Jeffrey Kalvass (@jeffreykalvass) reported

    @wombel @Outlook @Microsoft365 We’re continuing to rollout IMAP in our Beta Channel (formerly Insider Fast), increasing rollout % this week if you haven’t received it yet. Depending on feedback in Beta Channel, we’ll evaluate rolling out in Current Channel (Preview) (formerly Insider Slow) next

  • Leofs4u Leo (@Leofs4u) reported

    @Outlook I cannot read and receive email for 3 months now on my mobile apple devices and android tablet. Since 2 weeks I even cannot add email addresses anymore. Everytime I am asked to be ‘patient, issue is known and will be solved and I have to wait for new updates’. Pffff incredible

  • BradPrick Brad Prick (@BradPrick) reported

    @Outlook Wrap your iPhone badge notifications and fix them for them to update badge number without having to open the app (for ex. when you use quick-3D touch actions for archive, delete, etc)

  • allanmarsh Allan Marsh (@allanmarsh) reported

    @Outlook How is it that you even know this? I'd much rather you fixed my issues

  • ImprovementU Improvement University (@ImprovementU) reported

    @Outlook I can't log into my Hotmail account :( are there any reported issues? Can you please help me?

  • josephe_anne Josèphe-Anne (@josephe_anne) reported

    @ImprovementU @Jackl_1996 @Outlook Well, it's down again! 😠😡 I'm getting REALLY FRUSTRATED with Outlook now! People have things to do you know!

  • BongersBrandon Brandon Bongers (@BongersBrandon) reported

    @GJPvWesten @Outlook I think this is also partly due to the university's policy however; as much as i like to poop on microsoft sometimes, i think there are some things in place that specifically make synchronizing things hard in one way or the other, creating issues like these.

  • loukkis Marko Loukkaanhuhta (@loukkis) reported

    Hey @Outlook and @Microsoft, rest of the world (outside of USA) would achieve more, if you'll fix week numbering in Outlook App (at least in Android) to comply with ISO8601 numbering. We are now missing week 53 completely. 2021 will be difficult, because -1 week offset...

  • KIYOOMlYA mika loves elliot (@KIYOOMlYA) reported

    outlook is down and im at work AND I NEED IT. **** YOU @Outlook

  • ogbimmer Cory (@ogbimmer) reported

    @BradPrick @Outlook This is a known bug. Go to settings, help & feedback, then collect diagnostics. For whatever reason, this resets the badge/notification issue. From then on you should be able to get badge notifications without having the open the app. Good luck.

  • pinkfriyayxo . (@pinkfriyayxo) reported

    @Outlook why is my hotmail not working??? my emails has not refreshed since 8am this morning

  • BrianHauerTSO Brian Hauer (@BrianHauerTSO) reported

    Does anyone use @outlook on iOS to connect to a plain IMAP mail server? Its IMAP support seems utterly and completely broken. Perhaps the only testing done for Outlook on iOS is with Exchange servers, leaving those of us using plain IMAP stuck with the default iOS mail app.

  • TheRealDjSDG “ŚhåwñDøń” 😈 (@TheRealDjSDG) reported

    @Outlook FIX MY EMAIL BRUH ITS BEEN TOOO LONG SMH

  • itakshg akshit gupta (@itakshg) reported
