  • zanders Tony Zanders (@zanders) reported

    Now that I'm down to one work email address, I'm debating whether to subscribe to a paid email app like @Superhuman. Is the time saving from shortcuts a wash when considering how much time the free @Outlook app saves me by integrating calendar availability?

  • poetrypapi_ Ty’rone (@poetrypapi_) reported

    I love the outlook app but recently it keeps putting all important work emails in junk and prioritising foolishness like Spotify and Showcase cinema in my focused inbox. @Outlook fix up

  • rubberscotty rubberscotty (@rubberscotty) reported

    @JRubberCub @instagram @Outlook Liking this for support! Sounds terrible

  • cheenamalhotra Cheena Malhotra (@cheenamalhotra) reported

    @Outlook on IOS is giving me hard time logging into my AD account.. I have multiple accounts setup, and when one of the AD account needs credentials, I just can’t enter and app goes into continuous loop, jamming my keyboard throughout iPhone! I wonder if this is a known issue?

  • TetonTrading TetonTrading (@TetonTrading) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook would you please move the email search bar down from the top and back to where it belongs directly above email please? Where it was in previous outlook versions? Who asked for this? The answer is no one. Insane.

  • 5PriscillaKing Priscilla King (@5PriscillaKing) reported

    Hi @BookTasters, Internet connection is back, but as it's raining it's very slow and fragmentary. If you can re-send the last DM as a regular tweet it may open for me before the week is over. @Microsoft @Outlook is hopeless in this weather.

  • wedoAzure Joe Carlyle (@wedoAzure) reported

    @thommck @Office365 @Outlook This happened to me a few weeks back, it also tied in with Outlook not working properly anymore. Had to reset. Hasn't reappeared since. iOS

  • NoorienaD Nooriena Davids (@NoorienaD) reported

    @Outlook is there still a problem with the email portal?

  • 8ballbrad Graywulf Says #KidneyforMinty!!! (@8ballbrad) reported

    @Outlook Is Outlook Live down? I haven't gotten any emails since friday, and I'm awaiting a verification email.

  • JayUnFazed Vince LaSalle (@JayUnFazed) reported

    Fix the Outlook iOS app so it can play wav files @Outlook

  • MomAnnamom Anna mom (@MomAnnamom) reported

    @Outlook are you down? Trying to re install just keeps pending.

  • DBA_Empress Mary L Cottingham (she/her) (@DBA_Empress) reported from Montgomery, New Jersey

    @FerventGeek @Outlook On the plus... I can skim down the list of required responses it identified and make sure I addressed them all. The rest is noise to me.

  • shamster24 Shamira Port-Louis (@shamster24) reported

    @Outlook how do I fix my account? Someone from Vietnam tried logging in to my account and now I can't fix it, nothing's working!

  • jamesliammcd James McDermott 🌈 (@jamesliammcd) reported

    @Outlook hello! for the last 24 hrs, when I reply to emails from my hotmail account, I receive the email 'Remote Server returned '550 5.7.520 Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam. AS(4810)'. Do you have any advice on how to rectify this? Thanks

  • raserapedro Pedro Rasera (@raserapedro) reported

    This is all happening in the web version of Outlook, which is _better and more modern_ than the desktop version. I don't get why @Outlook has so many UX issues. There's a golden standard for email, which is @gmail. It isn't rocket science to figure out these basic workflows.

  • jamesliammcd James McDermott 🌈 (@jamesliammcd) reported

    Twitter... I use #Outlook/#Hotmail when I've sent emails in the last 24 hours, they bounce and I receive 'remote Server returned '550 5.7.520 Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam. AS(4810)'. Help! Any advice? @Outlook

    @Outlook I have newly bought Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019. However Outlook has error. I contacted Microsoft but not yet got reply. Too bad service from Microsoft.

  • mhoutman Michiel Houtman (@mhoutman) reported

    @Outlook Now we only need IMAP notifications again. Not working for > 6 months 😡

  • SafraAnver Safra Anver (@SafraAnver) reported

    @Dhivaagar @gmail @Outlook I find managing emails, tasks to do very messy on it. Sometimes emails go missing too or hidden which is annoying. I don't know if it's a 365 issue. On Gmail it's so easy to find whatever you need.

  • Black_Out_ABE Black Out (@Black_Out_ABE) reported

    @Outlook what did you do to the search feature? It is HORRENDOUS as of 6-8 months ago something changed. I search for an email I sent 2 hours ago using EXACT words/names but nothing comes up in results? Many colleagues having same issue. FIX IT #microsoftoutlook #outlook #email

  • bonobochick Miss D. 📚 🎀 📺 🎬 (@bonobochick) reported

    I swear the recent @Outlook android app updates keep freezing the app so no new inbox messages to show up. 😑 Then I uninstall to reinstall, the app tells me "an error occurred" when I attempt to add my account til it connects. Very tedious to go through. Do better, @Microsoft.

  • RyanCartiers RyanCartier (@RyanCartiers) reported from Calgary, Alberta

    @Microsoft365 I called #customersupport and they said they cannot help with the app, use @outlook support – who is incapable of finding the ticket, doesn’t address the problem, repeats the same questions over despite the answer already being provided - and then asks me how they did.

  • am_shikhar Shikhar Anand (@am_shikhar) reported

    @Outlook I want a feature wherein I can reply (all) with a meme rather than writing down long lines to explain. #memesdaily

  • Tambulla Tanvir (@Tambulla) reported

    Recently I decided to go 'passwordless' for my @Outlook account, where instead of asking for a password, I get a pop up on my phone asking me to accept the login. The last few days I've been spammed with the login notification saying someone in the US is trying to login (1/9) 🧵
