    Updated my @Outlook last night. Already crashed 4x before 830am this. Is it just me or do updates usually cause more problems than they help? @Microsoft

    hey @Outlook . I mean this in the absolute best possible way, but, I will never use new Outlook for Mac. ever. I hate it and it's terrible. The minimized toolbar actually makes everything less convenient for power users. Don't mobile OS my desktop app.

    @Outlook why on earth was the unified inbox removed? I never even thought anybody would try to mess up what was working!! The FREE mail app links accts inbox, but the one for professional use does not?? Is there a patch, add-in, or other means fixing this error?

    @BenjaminOscar77 @Microsoft @Outlook If we could get a bunch of old school auto dialers going, we could overwhelm their voip in about 1 minute and effectively shut them down.

    Update: @UpworkHelp has shut down the account and reversed any funds exchanged. @Outlook is investigating the account and attempting to identify the impersonator.

    Almost everyone I know has problems with @Outlook emails getting stuck in Outbox. Anyone know how to fix? 7 hours @Windows emails unable to send today :-(

    Dave Hughes (@davehughesMHz) reported

    @stureid41 @Outlook @Windows i used to have that problem all the time at Strathclyde, was something to do with how their proxy server was configured. Changed to IMAP direct to fix it, but not sure if that works any more with changes to Office365 autodiscover.

    Dear @Outlook, your iOS app sucks, it is slow to update changes from other clients or the web, with the native email client is instant.

    Anyone having issues with @Outlook in @MSPowerAutomate or emails from @MSDYN365BC? Perhaps in the last 24 hours?

    CHAD (AMC Ape Leader) (@realkrax) reported

    Dear @Outlook, On your iOS app, could you make the swipe to delete animation a little quicker? Like almost as fast as someone repeatedly swiping? It’s just too slow and annoying at its current rate. Thanks in advance! Chad

    @Outlook hello, i have a problem with my mailbox, it is blocked and when i have the form to complete i no longer remember my secret questions. I have no one on the phone on your hotline can you help me ?

    A terrible experience with @Outlook I need support and they telo nothing!

  • BobFrankston
    Bob Frankston (@BobFrankston) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft support for email is 100% siloed and cannot even refer a problem that is outside their narrow domain. I thought @Microsoft had addressed the siloing problem. I guess it is still unable to work across silos. Very frustrating.

    @Outlook on @Windows If you could please fix the issue where your emails ignore custom fonts and just default to Times New Roman that would be greattt. kthanks.

    @AppleSupport Sorry--it's not an issue with receiving mail. It receives mail just fine. I'd just like Push to work, rather than Fetch. It worked years ago, but doesn't any longer. I now use @Outlook -- mostly because I don't like @gmail's notification sounds. That said, I'd prefer Mail.

    @Outlook Hi there @MicrosoftHelps - you keep emailing me telling 'it looks like we don't have permission to get email for your your Gmail account' I follow the instructions to fix it via sync, and the entire sync category in settings does not display. Please explain.

    @Microsoft Best email boxes are 1. Yahoo mail and 2. Gmail. Microsoft's @Outlook, #Hotmail etc are dead. If you forgot login access, it's all over because you'll be told to answer too many litany of questions. It's unfortunate.

    Starting from April 1st, 2022, Microsoft @Outlook completely BROKE my mission-critical EMAIL ADDRESS with a custom domain. All incoming emails have stopped. I am not receiving any emails at all. The last email was on 31st March. It is extremely serious and urgent. FIX MY EMAIL!

  • Good__old_days
    . (@Good__old_days) reported

    "Phone or chat support is not available for @Outlook.com. If self-help doesn't solve your question select Yes under Still need help & we'll email you." IS THIS SOME JOKE? No phone/chat support? What if ability to send/receive email itself is broken? @SatyaNadella @BillGates

    Hey all, is @outlook for web having issues or is it just me? I prefer the web experience over the app, but it's not loading right now for me.

    @Outlook Those solutions do nothing, it's not a random issue, you can see many such issues pop-up in 2 years and documented in Microsoft forums. I still cant receive any emails

    @Outlook How can I fix the Upgrade to iCloud for Windows 13.0 failed? Please reboot and try again. (Error 101)? I have tried installing and uninstalling this application many times and it always fails.

    It looks like the ALIAS with the custom domain for @Outlook.com broke on 1st April, 2022 on Microsoft's backend. For the same account/email, if I create another alias, I can receive emails just fine. @Microsoft, PLEASE FIX THIS CRITICAL thing you broke.
