    @alonbrown @Outlook Hello again. The most frustrating issue is meeting scheduling. It only shows me availability if everyone is available. I need it to ignore my booked time. I need to see if the other party(s) are available then I can adjust my time. It actually taking me longer to schedule now.

  • AnnUJackson Ann Jackson (@AnnUJackson) reported

    @bkornell Completely agree! I’ve added people’s names to my email dictionary as needed. I hate to say it, but I feel like AI could easily fix this problem and nobody is trying. Dear @Outlook add AI similar to a missing attachment based on contact card/meta data.

  • realDotNetDave David McCarter - Available for work NOW! (@realDotNetDave) reported

    @mcbeniwal @Outlook But features in Office are so slow, I don't expect anything like that in this decade! LOL

  • DoubleZCreative ᴅᴏᴜʙʟᴇ ᴢ 💥 (@DoubleZCreative) reported

    Second day @Outlook issue. Mac with Outlook v16.50 connected to @gmail account - messages arriving to sender with no signature or attachments. Messages viewed in Gmail are complete - something happening between Outlook and G-mail? Sent folder on Outlook missing the items too.

  • cheesesoda cheesesoda (@cheesesoda) reported

    Don't you just love it when @Outlook won't let you login to an email address? Apparently, Outlook for Android insists on thinking my email is linked to an old mail server... no idea why it refuses to see the new one... that I've been using for MONTHS. Desktop works just fine...

  • merrrrber m. (@merrrrber) reported

    I’m so tired of @Outlook being so MF SLOW!!!!!!!!!

  • x_lea_x_08 🌟⫩ Leanne ⫩ 🌟 (@x_lea_x_08) reported from Bridgwater, England

    @Outlook can you help please I’m having trouble remembering my password and been looked out

  • ThrillsTO Levitation (@ThrillsTO) reported

    @Outlook My organization's email has an issue with inbound emails. When I receive the email it goes to deleted items after 5mins & every time I have to restore them and again after 5mins they disappear and move to deleted items. No change at all in settings.

  • _JustCore Core (@_JustCore) reported

    Yo @Outlook some error caused an image in my email signature at work to be huge and now I am getting made fun of for it! Not ******* cool man, **** hurts.

  • thekerryhood KERRY HOOD, writing about despair. With jokes. (@thekerryhood) reported

    @Justlovefood @Outlook Thanks so much for replying. Did you use Safari to sign in? It's unsettling when it happens suddenly and tracks our activities. I do wonder why they give the Don't Allow option then make you allow it anyway.

  • Daniel_Lyddon Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @MicrosoftHelps Strange - the link sent requires sign up via #email...emails through @Outlook are the ongoing problem. Can't submit via your portal, and there's a note saying you're phasing out the portal anyway? Might be time to ditch @Microsoft - it's having negative effects on my work life.

  • canadagraphs Canadagraphs (@canadagraphs) reported

    Hey @outlook what is going on with youe desktop version of Hotmail tonight?? Its slow to load, and a few times, didnt at all. Kinda makes it hard to run a business when you cant read emails in an efficient manner.

  • 666alvaro Álvaro Castillo (@666alvaro) reported

    @Outlook I need help to login

  • drkarenn Karen Megay-Nespoli (@drkarenn) reported

    @Outlook Thousands of people complaining since April about attachments- not attaching and not opening! Everyone hates Microsoft Teams + 365. These programs are full of glitches and problems with attachments. Where are the solutions? Or do you think the problems will disappear?

  • Traderade212 Traderade212 (@Traderade212) reported

    @Readdle @ReaddleDesign @Outlook yes. it’s terrible

  • Residentcl CésΛr (@Residentcl) reported

    @Outlook Hi. Problem in Chile? web page down :( @MicrosoftHelps

  • BenMeadBCFC Ben - Robins on Tour (@BenMeadBCFC) reported

    @gmail Still doesn't work, I'm not sure if @Outlook would be able to help with the issue as I believe it is a problem with that rather than Gmail at the moment, obviously still not sure though!

  • Justlovefood Justlovefood Leith (@Justlovefood) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Outlook I can log in my iPhone without a problem

  • _steve2_ Steve Mahoney (@_steve2_) reported

    Network down @Outlook @Webex Interesting day

  • Blazinjsin Jsin (@Blazinjsin) reported

    @Outlook Can you explain to me like I'm 5 why you won't let me use an old password on my account? I'm aware of what it says about security, but I want to use an old password and I don't see how it's any of your business. There is a single device I sign in on.

  • Daniel_Lyddon Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps Still having the same problem - over a week now...and because it's with @Outlook I can't get an email to sign up to your portal...any thoughts on how I can get this resolved?

  • jay_welaz Jay welaz (@jay_welaz) reported

    Dear @Outlook , I have been trying to login, but I have forgotten the password which was created on 2014. I still have the number but I am not able to get any OTP It will be really a great if you can help me on this I have lots of Pic saved on it. 😭.

  • bcintron Barbara (@bcintron) reported

    @Outlook WTF! outlook has been down since past Saturday!?!

  • _steve2_ Steve Mahoney (@_steve2_) reported from Denver, Colorado

    Wait A security alert 🚨 just flew by I wonder 💭 if the security shield 🛡 is blocking my access with @Outlook desktop 🖥 and the server I’ll sniff the packets now

  • juliahobsbawm julia hobsbawm (@juliahobsbawm) reported

    Whatever @Microsoft is tweaking behind the scenes to @Outlook is resulting in gremlin glitch after gremlin glitch and of course it’s not explained so it feels like the frozen inboxes and lost emails and switched addresses aren’t happening: anyone else know what I mean?

  • Aaliyah2095 Aaliyah (@Aaliyah2095) reported

    @Chrissiec1987 @Outlook My account got same similar issue.. i contacted support services but they wouldn’t help me...I got referred to @logskind1 on Instagram and they were so helpful and reliable. Am sure they can help

  • SocialSunman Adam Sunman (@SocialSunman) reported

    Mac users - the 'new' @Outlook no longer has a 'connected to' to show if you're connected to the server on the bottom right. Searched everywhere for the preference with no joy - anybody found it?

  • n3tb4dg3r Garlef (@n3tb4dg3r) reported

    hey @Outlook can you please review and update your best practices section for senders and ISPs? a lot of your links - for example to @returnpath are just pointing to 404 errors.

  • Prakash25370316 Prakash (@Prakash25370316) reported
