@Outlook < Suddenly a single "Ad" is showing up as incoming mail, always at the top, always from a different source, no matter how many times I delete them or attempt to block them. I am beginning to think I need to redirect my mail server to a different source.> Your response?

Why does the outlook mobile app send your authentication details in plain text to Microsoft first then authenticate with the remote mail server? #Outlook @Outlook #OutlookSecurity #Android

@JimDavisMTG @Outlook I'm having the same issue, also been the last week or so. I sadly don't have a solution other than deleting each one... good to know it isn't just me!

@Outlook I haven’t been able to use the outlook app on my iPhone 12 mini with iOS16 since version 4.2243.1 was released last week. The app just opens and crashes immediately. The latest update released today has not fixed the issue. I need this app to do my job! Please help.

One of the best bits of competitive sabotage in the email biz is the @Outlook/Hotmail S3150 error. Mail gets rejected, but @MicrosoftHelps bots just shrug and say there's no blockage. But there is. Telling customers truth: Hotmail/Outlook is unfit for mail AT ALL. #Sysadminnery

If @Outlook can't fix the recently broken spam filter, then it may be finally time to retire my 26 year old hotmail email account.

I remember the struggle and disappointment of the Open Source community when @Microsoft has introduced TNEF to their @Outlook suite years ago. And they are still using it causing problems when you want to forward an email to someone who refuses to be vendor locked-in.

Hello @Outlook you need to update/fix your spam/junk filters. Many this week are getting into my Inbox. Wow... I'm hearing it from others too. I keep marking each as junk...

We have been blocked by @Outlook and are finding it near impossible to get off block list. We have deleted the offending account and taken all measures to correct the problem. @Microsoft still refuses to help us. 😡

@MicrosoftUK @Outlook in the last 2 days I have noticed a massive increase in spam appearing in my hotmail inbox? Has your filter broken? Any recommendations?

@Outlook How can you still be using IE for adding accounts in the O365 version? Aren't you updating regularly and fixing issues? No reason I shouldn't be able to add IMAP Gmail because of JS

Anyone getting #email errors like "451 4.7.500 Server busy. Please try again later from" and "452 4.5.3 Too many recipients (AS780090)" from @Outlook? I don't use Outlook servers. I use my own servers. Happens randomly, not all email. Is there a trouble-ticket system for Outlook?

Well, I'm glad I created an alias when I did @Outlook since that feature is going away. I had to create a new alias to stop login attempts to my email. 🤷

@ItsSpeltWithAC @Outlook I’ve been having this issue for a week or so now, dozens of spam every day - I DM’d @Outlook and they did nothing! Emails from trusted sources go to junk but clear phishing emails make it through - sick of it!

@doylebob @Outlook It’s TERRIBLE! And these aren’t subtle phishing/junk mail messages. How they’re getting through to the inbox is baffling to me. (I have a Premium Hotmail account.)

Been trying to fix our very messed up @Outlook calendars for DAYS now, and was seriously advised today on a help chat that permanently deleting the calendar would resolve the issue. Like yes, but then I wouldn't have a calendar 🙃

Dear @Outlook, why do you keep telling me the *New* Outlook for Mac is here? I don't want it. And I don't want to keep switching back to the *old* look! If it ain't broken don't fix it. Old is Gold!

@VinceCallum @Microsoft365 @Outlook I can solve my own problem without the need for them. The problem is the company needs to re-examine the security issue.
