    @Outlook @iamkilotango It's an issue with your settings, not ours, it's happening to lots of people - why aren't you doing something - why haven't you bothered to let us know there is an issue? Don't you care?

  • sallyadavies1 Sally 💙 (@sallyadavies1) reported

    @coolcoal11 @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I’ve also had the same issue started yesterday. Several emails from ridiculous addresses coming straight through to my inbox even though it’s clearly spam.

  • ZsuHengl Hengl Zsuzsa (@ZsuHengl) reported

    @Outlook No assistance needed,on website i can log in,still the app doesn't work, doesn't let with authentication in....no matter what,so no need for assistance,just fix it😑 simple

  • implausibleblog Farrukh (@implausibleblog) reported

    @Outlook @ReissOmari Same problem as Gorde, why do you allow so much junk mail to filter through?

  • implausibleblog Farrukh (@implausibleblog) reported

    @Outlook @iamkilotango Same problem as Katie, why is my inbox full of junk mail?

  • AldonioMX Aldonio (@AldonioMX) reported

    Now you may ask, why is it bad that Mastodon is “ideology first, product second”? Let’s take email as an example first: The technology behind email is designed for everyone to have their own server, but who has their own server? Most of your contacts use @gmail or @Outlook.

  • Cowgirl_Up02 Erica Wenzel (@Cowgirl_Up02) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook SOMEONE from tech please tweet me back so I can attempt to get an issue resolved! I can’t do it on the computer and it doesn’t want to verify my info!!

  • ElectrikMonk306 ElectrikMonk (@ElectrikMonk306) reported

    @implausibleblog @Outlook @anitaelmore6 Same issue here, started maybe 2 days ago

  • DanMcGandy Kevin McLaughlin (@DanMcGandy) reported

    Getting a lot of spam in my Hotmail/outlook account over the last few days. Changed my password but it looks like others are having the same problem. @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook

  • ASL08934770 ASL (@ASL08934770) reported

    @Outlook trying to sign into my Hotmail account using the default mail app on Android phone (gmail) using an app password and keep getting the error: can't reach the server. Is this a known issue?

  • SionTimmy1 Sion (@SionTimmy1) reported

    @Outlook ever since the update the app crashed every time I opened the app and when I checked the comment on Google Play seems it happing to few people is there a time frame on the fix?

  • SinBad_FTB sinbad fromtheboard (@SinBad_FTB) reported

    @Outlook @dboevers I am having this same issue , I sent y'all a dm !!

  • pocket_goddess Annelise (@pocket_goddess) reported

    @coolcoal11 @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I have got the same issue, speaking to their support team and they don't seem to be recognising that this is a fault their side rather than ours! I've had the same blocked email through 6+ times today (blocked each time)

  • iamkilotango I am Katie (@iamkilotango) reported

    @Outlook @anitaelmore6 Free version of outlook for me. Fix it please

  • ASL08934770 ASL (@ASL08934770) reported

    @Outlook No worries I have managed to resolve the issue, after generating a new app password and then restarting the phone (pixel 6 pro).

  • jbow2020 Justice Bowyer (@jbow2020) reported

    @XboxSupport @Microsoft @Outlook can you please explain why I have to leave the hopes of getting my email and Xbox account back up to a computer and not talk to a human to get my issues resolved???

  • sophiejfhall sophiejfhall (@sophiejfhall) reported

    @Outlook Why would I when it's YOUR problem? We can't ALL be doing something wrong. Please sort it out.

  • AlexMarlborough Alex M (@AlexMarlborough) reported

    @Outlook trying to cancel @Cobratate now. Newsletter being hidden after receiving it for months with no problem!

  • implausibleblog Farrukh (@implausibleblog) reported

    @Outlook @seeorganic Same problem as Carole. Non stop spam emails.

  • NewYorkMark36 Mark (@NewYorkMark36) reported

    @Outlook Hi, Since a new update i can't use the app. Is close automatically in a few seconds. On this way I can't use the app. On Play Store there are a lot of people who have the same issues

  • ochostrike Rich ⏱️ (@ochostrike) reported

    Not good enough @Outlook tried to change a meeting time, got an (unhelpful as usual) error, now the meeting is in a zombie state, nobody's received the updates and the invitation list just says "No response" from everyone. What are you playing at? @satyanadella #UX #productivity

  • PattyZiecheck Patricia Ziecheck (@PattyZiecheck) reported

    @outlook For months the email block feature has been missing. Even though I report phishing the same things keep turning up as well as new junk. Every day over 50 spams in my inbox and over 100 in my junk folder. If you can't fix this I am leaving Outlook.

  • Lauren77651786 Lauren Gray (@Lauren77651786) reported

    @paulmacca89 @Outlook I also had the same issue but I messaged @ptech_cyber in Instagram and got my problem solved. You can also do so now.

  • implausibleblog Farrukh (@implausibleblog) reported

    @Outlook @sophiejfhall Same problem as Sophie, why all the junkmail outlook?

  • dboevers DBtheTD (@dboevers) reported

    All I want is to have all my email accounts show up in Outlook together. Why is that such a problem @aol, @Outlook ??? This shouldn’t be this hard.

  • Kavehpd Kavehpd (@Kavehpd) reported

    @implausibleblog @Outlook @sophiejfhall I swear this is going to be something like the British Airways outage in 2017. Somebody flicked a switched somewhere and opened the floodgates. Spamgates?

  • LeeCrout I love you 3000 (@LeeCrout) reported

    My #Outlook app shuts down as soon as I open an email. Annoying. @Outlook

  • agni_thehuman A G N I V O S E N (@agni_thehuman) reported

    @dboevers @AOL @Outlook Aol is running some issue, connect with AOL support and get it resolved. I did the same it worked.

  • dboevers DBtheTD (@dboevers) reported

    @agni_thehuman @AOL @Outlook connect where - the CSR on Twitter told me they couldn't fix it

  • Adespoto3 Adespoto (@Adespoto3) reported

    @pocket_goddess @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook Same. My notifications are going crazy, other people have reported this, any fix Microsoft please?
