  • sydnielizab insydnious (@sydnielizab) reported

    HEY @Outlook so when are y’all gonna fix the recurring glitch on your IOS app that locks students out of their accounts? this has been a problem for everyone i know for well over a year now?

  • atoomey15 Allie Toomey (@atoomey15) reported

    Hey Um whoever took down @SlackHQ, could you do @Outlook next?

  • IAmKale matthewmiller.pem (@IAmKale) reported

    @Outlook So it seems part of the problem is that Zoho's Exchange Active Sync support is mobile-only. I was able to try and use the Exchange option on desktop Outlook when I flipped to the "old" experience but the EAS server info would never connect. It seems IMAP is my only choice...

  • Dm3k_sec Blair - DM3k (@Dm3k_sec) reported

    @HeyHelpDeskGuy @Outlook I've had so much trouble out of the desktop app that I've abandoned it and gone completely to the web app. Yeah, I have to refresh it a few times a day.

  • macdeebers Macdeebers (@macdeebers) reported

    @Outlook I tried the New Outlook again today, hoping the problems had been fixed. They haven't. Reverted to old version and calendar events can now no longer be found by searching. With these features not working, why are you releasing a buggy version of Outlook?

  • deadlydog Daniel Schroeder (@deadlydog) reported

    @Darcy_Lussier @terrajobst @Outlook I just did a quick timing test. Switching from mail to calendar took 12 seconds before the calendar loaded with events. Switching back to mail took 14 seconds before I could see the content of the email. It's just too slow is my biggest complaint.

  • arunfurtado05 Arun Furtado (@arunfurtado05) reported

    @Outlook we always miss attached file in email thread if it is forwarded to us. That makes us to ask the email forwarder to go back to his/her original email where file is attached and then forward. Can you fix this problem? I am sure you can

  • nyloncake Monica (@nyloncake) reported

    Is @Outlook down????

  • EmergencyBK Emergency&BushfireKits (@EmergencyBK) reported

    @ozwildflower @Outlook Yes, I don't have this issue with other email hosts, don't want to migrate, but finding this & a few other things frustrating, especially when I pay for the privilege & others are free. PS. I'll swap you some enlargement advice for 50 messages a day, to 'fix' my broken website

  • sybbys syb (@sybbys) reported

    Seems there’s no fix for this and I can switch back to old Outlook so… there I’ll be until @msdev @Outlook implements this feature.

  • EmergencyBK Emergency&BushfireKits (@EmergencyBK) reported

    @Adam_Dorain @Outlook Thanks, I might do that👍 Can do it with other accounts, at least appears as being blocked, doesn't display again. Really want to just click & block a few a day to reduce the clutter, logging into server, contacting host... ughh Also, if not a block, they shouldn't call it one

  • ashiskar02 Ashis kar (@ashiskar02) reported

    @Outlook is down ? The app is not working..

  • TechnologyShit TechnologyShit (@TechnologyShit) reported

    @Outlook appts are randomly missing from one person's calendar (person A) but the same meeting present in another person's calendar (person B) Are you aware of this issue? Been happening for about a week now.

  • dieshasi PHAT PHARMA (@dieshasi) reported

    @Outlook how can I get someone on the phone so I can deal with this annoying email issue

  • claymouserat Mayor of Ur Brain- ***** Control (@claymouserat) reported

    A new day means another day @Outlook shits the bed and crashes for no reason. Fix your **** product already

  • HarprvalleyPTA miss 🐶❤️👩‍👦 (@HarprvalleyPTA) reported

    @EmergencyBK @Outlook I have the same problem and I asked one of the IT folks at work and he didn’t have a solution

  • IAmKale Matthew Miller (@IAmKale) reported

    @timcappalli @github @Outlook Oh wait, I don't think I can use that trick. Duo protects our email login and won't let my personal devices through because I won't have Duo's endpoint app installed to pass the device health check 🤔

  • FordPrefect747 George Thomas (@FordPrefect747) reported

    @scopedbylarry @Microsoft @Outlook I know Apple stuff is expensive. But since I went Apple I spend a fraction of the time dealing with computer and software issues. It's worth your consideration.

  • medyji_ Ahmed Al Sharji (@medyji_) reported

    No response from @MicrosoftHelps or @Outlook support on the app for an hour now. I keep missing work emails because of an issue with the app. All other frustrated customers got a response by insulting them in public, is that what I need to do?

  • jeffdoug2 J. D. (@jeffdoug2) reported

    I hate the fact that I can't remove the "send to OneNote" from my Outlook Toolbar (OS X). Freaking @office @outlook people forcing their products down users' throat is peak @Microsoft

  • sgunja Saif Gunja (@sgunja) reported

    @Microsoft is worth >$2Trillion but can't figure out how to fix the #Recall feature in @Outlook

  • ozwildflower noeline purdy (@ozwildflower) reported

    @EmergencyBK @Outlook I have the same problem with some very interesting wtf spam. I’m slowly changing everything to gmail where I don’t have that problem. P.S. if anyone needs prostate or enlargement advice I have just the mail for you.

  • Stefan07380390 PhillyInfoSec247 (@Stefan07380390) reported

    @HeyHelpDeskGuy @Outlook My job uses it and it sucks. So slow!

  • makerofthings7 h (@makerofthings7) reported

    Rough housing compliments went too far, as one RPC server with conversational TURRETS offended GOD in the league of Heroes and Congratulatory assemblage REWIND feature needed on SignalR conversation Team to CANCEL and REDO thread by better-best SHA256 MerkleTree @outlook

  • Adam_Dorain May the farce be with you (@Adam_Dorain) reported

    @EmergencyBK @Outlook You can’t really block an email from the mail client. You need to login to the server and block it from there. This also depends on the email address and host you are using. Feel free to pm any other details if you need help

  • orentalks Oren Roth-Eisenberg (@orentalks) reported

    @Outlook stop flagging emails from senders reading “Some people who received this message don’t often get email from ____.” This helps no one and completely blocks you from actually skimming the preview to know if you need to OPEN it. Typical solution in search of a problem.
