    Hey @Outlook, I think there's an issue with your Android app. I dismiss a calendar notification and a few minutes later is reappears on my phone.

  • eedwardpilcher Eric Pilcher (@eedwardpilcher) reported

    Y'all @Microsoft @Office @Outlook has the DEFAULT setting on emails is to "autocorrect" B) into 😎 No bullshit. I'm sure there's an easy fix that I won't bother to look up now (I'll revise my sentence, thanks) but I swear to god they are the #squirtgun in a #laserwar

  • GregCGilbert Greg C. Gilbert (@GregCGilbert) reported

    @JenMsft @Outlook Hit reply, scroll down, copy, scroll up, paste.  Hit send.

  • THX1138_2014 WiffleWaffle (@THX1138_2014) reported

    @Outlook Where shall I start: 1. The "Focused Inbox" slider DOES NOT WORK! 2. IMAP accounts are totally and utterly BROKEN (sent mail sits in the Outbox for ever) 3. After a temp IMAP authentication issue WHY no simple RETRY option? Have to delete account and re-add. Utter crap.

  • jirihelmich Jirka Helmich (@jirihelmich) reported

    So, @UserVoice has moved to sign in using email links only, without using a password. I guess to make sure people do not share logins. Well, would be great if @Outlook would not drop all of the sign in emails to spam... :)

  • amitbvij Amit Vij (@amitbvij) reported

    @Outlook After upgrading to iOS 14.5 beta, the Outlook consistently crashes, both the beta and release. Any known issue? Or, is it me only?

  • LuamCortez Luam Cortez (@LuamCortez) reported

    @Outlook How can the (free) OWA, behave better than the actual (paid) app? I'm sick that, in order to solve a simple problem, I'll need to execute Powershell commands.

  • snappzin Snappzin (@snappzin) reported

    Hey, @Outlook i would like to sign in on my account without taking this too long. I provided everything i know about the account. HELP PLEASE

  • gloataclopolis Bruce Blackstone (@gloataclopolis) reported

    @Outlook Is there an outage in the Los Angeles area?

  • sandehalynch Sandeha Lynch, #Europa, #Earth (@sandehalynch) reported

    @AdamHartScience @Outlook Similar problem- I hope someone chimes in!

  • pataijozsef Joe Patai  (@pataijozsef) reported from Eger, Heves megye

    The @Outlook desktop app after 2 days still says “This folder has not yet been updated” for the group folders. I did try to uncheck the cache and restart the program several times, but no change! The OWA working great! Maybe a feature update will solve this problem?!

  • Emmie0615 Emily Bahrami ⚓️ (@Emmie0615) reported

    Ok @Microsoft I don’t have time for @Outlook to be down 😩😩

  • D0cB3y D0cB3y (@D0cB3y) reported

  • Hanan_Farhat_ حنان فرحات (@Hanan_Farhat_) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook I'd love to, but my email won't sign in. Can't find the email 😕

  • rabidxuan JuanX (@rabidxuan) reported

    @LocatiM @Outlook Hello Michele, may I ask what is the ransom you are talking about? I'm having the exact same problem and searching for solutions. thanks!

  • bladenomics K (@bladenomics) reported

    @zapier is picking the wrong time when trying to integrate @Outlook with @TickTickTeam How can I fix this?

  • noochtom Thomas Antonucci (@noochtom) reported

    @Outlook FIX OUTLOOK from your latest update. Everything possible on my computer is up-to-date and WAS working beautifully. Then i had to update Microsoft Office programs, which has made Outlook almost unusable its so slow. WHY did you change anything! FIX IT NOW

  • halkitzmiller Hal Kitzmiller (@halkitzmiller) reported

    It is baffling how in 2021 Hotmail and outlook contact photos are broken @Outlook

  • vmitchell85 Vince Mitchell (@vmitchell85) reported

    Hey @Outlook … I never want to reply to myself… why does your stupid app always do that?!?! If I’m in a thread and hit reply and I was the last one to email it should be smarter! Never have this issue with other email apps!

  • stalinMMA En La Mira ... (@stalinMMA) reported from Quito, Provincia de Pichincha

    @Outlook No problem, but I would like to know if that is true or they want to hack my account. regards

  • EgworP egwor_public (@EgworP) reported

    @jaredcwhite @dhh Why is it calmer / less anxiety inducing ? @Outlook ‘a broken (did I mention late) reminders drives me nuts ! Does it do reminders for meetings properly ?

  • israldebruin Isral DeBruin (@israldebruin) reported

    Yo @Outlook -- your new Mac version is pretty great. however, when I open ICS files downloaded from the internet, Outlook opens them as an attachment to a new draft email (and not as a calendar item). Am I doing something wrong, or is this in need of a fix on your end?

  • j3e2020 sg (@j3e2020) reported

    @Outlook password reset and go to sign in and it still says password not recognised. Been trying for days to get this issue sorted with no luck!

  • mchellee__ M (@mchellee__) reported

    why is @outlook running so slow on safari!?

  • bergrbergr Sean Berger 💛❤️🏹 (@bergrbergr) reported

    I enjoy the new-ish @Outlook for Mac update, but whatever they did with this update to search results is a step backwards from the existing feature that was perfectly fine and reliable. Search results are absolutely broken in the new version.

  • mathoosala Mathoosala (@mathoosala) reported

    @Outlook are you having issues? I can receive but not send.

  • LocatiM Michele Locati (@LocatiM) reported

    @Outlook Why on earth are you using #uceprotect??? They blacklisted a whole DigitalOcean netblock (2,367,232 IPs) because 0.1 % of them was reported as spammers. And to whitelist our MX server we have to pay a ransom

  • IanRElliot Ian Elliot (@IanRElliot) reported

    How do I shut an email address down completely @Outlook

  • jamesport079 James Portelli ☕ (@jamesport079) reported
