  • john_moore John Moore (@john_moore) reported

    Thinking about the @Outlook working hours thing. I feel like I’d want the opposite…I want to mark the days I’m not working from home. I already mark my calendar on the days I happen to go into the office and color code an all day event.

  • JournoJess97 Jess Sharp (@JournoJess97) reported

    @Outlook Can you help? My elderly grandmother is having problems logging into her email account & is getting quite stressed. I have tried calling contact support/using your website but not getting the help I need! She is visiting from Spain and needs access to her account ASAP

  • john_moore John Moore (@john_moore) reported

    @stevegoodman @Outlook Same, I’m way less available when in the office now. Sing in the office means I’m heads down in a lab doing stuff so I don’t look at IM or email until that evening.

  • WAPTECSPRO1 WAPTECS (@WAPTECSPRO1) reported

    @WJW104 @Outlook @Microsoft Kindly send a direct message to resolve your issues

    @NicoleBarbaro @Outlook If you are on MacOS there’s a bug that causes the search issues. There is a fix albeit tedious

  • Jennifersaurus_ Jennifer Green (@Jennifersaurus_) reported

    @Outlook each time I try sending an email it is failing to send. I've tried emailing multiple people incase it was a problem with to address I was sending to but it is failing to send any email whatsoever

  • alobbs Alvaro Lopez Ortega (@alobbs) reported

    Does anybody know how to use the CTRL + a/e (move to begin/end of line) shortcuts in @Outlook for Mac? — They work in any other app but outlook. It's starting to come a productivity issue and -admittedly- a source of frustration.

  • TheJoeFin Joe Finney (@TheJoeFin) reported

    Hey @Outlook I know your spam filter is terrible, but maybe don't add flagged emails in my junk folder to my @MicrosoftToDo lists, seems like a no brainer to me. CC: @microsoftgraph

  • Im_tired_again Chris Martin (@Im_tired_again) reported

    @Outlook Hi can you assist me with my outlook account please or can I DM you? I’ve tried chat and my issue isn’t available

    @tweet_alqamar @OfficeInsider @Outlook Sorry for my tardy reply! For Android, were you able to send the issue in via the Help->Feedback->Contact Outlook Mobile Support?

  • JacobGAlvarez Jake A (@JacobGAlvarez) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE make it so declined meetings still show up on the calendar!! Erasing them to a deleted folder is a terrible function.

  • BlueWest18 Blue West (@BlueWest18) reported

    @Outlook Is there any way to stop getting the "Stay signed in? Stay signed in so you don't have to sign in again next time. Don't show this again" message every time I log into Hotmail?? It's an unnecessary step.

  • crbv3_ ¢HALK¥ ₩HIT€ (@crbv3_) reported

    Hey @Outlook your iPhone app f@#$'n sucks - please fix it

  • AltinSelimi Rand Lahey (@AltinSelimi) reported

    @Outlook can’t login to my outlook account because the app can’t send verification message to my mobile phone (+383). Help pls ?

  • NikkiClints Nikki Clinton (@NikkiClints) reported

    @Outlook Apologies. I spent 2 days and 14 hrs!!! on the phone with an agent rectifying the problems the previous agent created. I think we are finally almost there. Thank you.

  • M_Z_Harrison Melissa Harrison (@M_Z_Harrison) reported

    @Outlook Hi. Is Outlook/Hotmail down? I'm getting a 401 message when I try to access my emails online.

  • AmandaP52215108 Amanda Palmer (@AmandaP52215108) reported

  • neutrinos__ Saketha Ramanujam (@neutrinos__) reported

    yo @Outlook can you help me figure out a weird sync issue between a connected account? I know it's a weekend but, plis, the earlier the better.

  • AltinSelimi Rand Lahey (@AltinSelimi) reported

    @Outlook Nothing in that article is of help to me. The verification codes had no problem coming say a month ago. But now they don’t.

  • manojmatlani Manoj Matlani (@manojmatlani) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    @satyanadella why nobody reverts from @Outlook . Even after my follow up to just connect to your call centre, waiting for minimum 20 mins per call it's frustrating to realise that it's extremely difficult to get in touch with a person who can solve my issue. Kindly help?

  • lisa_jayne_b ⚫️Lisa Britton WearAMask GetTheJab 🇨🇾🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@lisa_jayne_b) reported

    @Outlook But I’ve been going to this same country, this same city, twice a year for about the last twenty years! It’s never been a problem until this year, when you decided it was “unusual activity.” Why now?

  • TheLexiphane David Hogarty (@TheLexiphane) reported

    @Outlook To Do has disappeared from the My Day tab in Outlook for Web. And the To Do icons have reverted to Tasks icons in my Calendar and Mail pages. Are you pivoting away from To Do transition, or is this a config issue with my employer's Outlook?

  • Gawriyamiaflmia Gawriyamiaflmia🇲🇦🇪🇸 (@Gawriyamiaflmia) reported

    @gmail No thank you I'll pass. I will just search for a mail server that actually cares for their clients and provides effective support and will cancel my Google storage subscription with you. Maybe @Outlook cares more about their clients and provides more effective IT support.

  • lisa_jayne_b ⚫️Lisa Britton WearAMask GetTheJab 🇨🇾🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@lisa_jayne_b) reported

    @Outlook I have been coming to the same country for 20 years, 4 weeks each time. Never a problem, until now when you suddenly decide it’s an “unusual activity.” Why?

  • tapiwamandibaya Gwi (@tapiwamandibaya) reported
