  • W_0_0_F_Y Gerben S. 🤖 (@W_0_0_F_Y) reported

    @Outlook Yeh did that few minutes ago, by the way tested the problem using a different hotmail to send to my own hotmail (using a different network to be sure), receiving immediately, so it seems limited to gmail trying to reach hotmail accounts.

  • morganfeldon Mitch Better Have My Money (@morganfeldon) reported

    What the hell did y'all do with the Outlook app on Android. Cannot specify IMAP, POP, Server Ports, just, you enter the server and it fails unless everything is perfect. You cannot get to Settings. You cannot specify a provider type. It's a baby app now. @Outlook

  • gazcoop Gary Cooper (@gazcoop) reported

    @JenMsft @ailon I logged in once through Edge to another @outlook.com account I have and now I'm prompted to login to sync through File Explorer. When I hit the sync button I'm prompted for those credentials not my main account.

  • hanissyhr Hanis Syahira (@hanissyhr) reported

    Hi @Outlook, why are emails from gmail not being received by my hotmail account? It's affected my colleagues as well and I've tested it multiple times, so it isn't an isolated problem.
