    @Paisano @Microsoft @Outlook My first email was accessed via a text based command prompt telnetting into the school's email server. Mouse? GUI? **** that's futuristic.

  • nava_dublin Nava (@nava_dublin) reported

  • musicman61953 Andrew Taylor (@musicman61953) reported

    @Lois68 @Outlook I had the same problem too, I kept on trying to contact Outlook but they didn't do anything about it. Not until I was referred to @KurtisSoftware , he helped me resolve the issue within minutes.

  • Vince19752 1975phan (@Vince19752) reported

    @Outlook I sat on the phone with Outlook support 3 months ago to fix this. They took up my entire day. I lost thousands in business that day & they still haven’t fixed the matter. Outlook needs to learn how to take care of their customers. This is really bad and costing too much

  • Arrow_and_Bass DS (@Arrow_and_Bass) reported

    @Outlook iOS outlook update for iPad that was pushed 2 hours ago does not open and just crashes. I am unable to access my email, please fix asap

  • nessaanike who no like enjoyment 🧐 (@nessaanike) reported

    @Outlook your service is really bad, how can you cut the call and now I ring back you tell me the same thing and won’t let me go through- you haven’t even solved my problem- no help at all

  • Vince19752 1975phan (@Vince19752) reported

    @Outlook Microsoft Outlook has been terrible for our firm. We may have to make a change from Microsoft. When I delete an email, It then says “trash” and I have to delete it again..& 1 more time. I have to delete it 3 times and it’s beyond time consuming. I’ve called but they don’t help.

  • iNikMehta Nikhil (@iNikMehta) reported

    Hey @Outlook integration with @MicrosoftToDo is broken post 'auto add to my day' feature in to do. This integration was a good feature. Please auto add tasks in outlook too. @Microsoft

  • _thebeardguy_ lawjarp (@_thebeardguy_) reported

    Why is #Outlook such a hassle to open on Chrome? It's been happening for a while now. @Outlook, please fix this!!

  • realhwstan06 CUFF IT 🪩 (@realhwstan06) reported

    It’s extremely frustrating how difficult @Outlook makes their out of office message feature. I’ve googled how to set up and no directions are aligned, I’ve checked all places in the email to find it. Can not find!It should be a simple click of button. Like…Can y’all fix that?

  • SamFotofiend David Samuel (@SamFotofiend) reported

    @Outlook THE OLDER FORMAT IS 1,000,000X BETTER THEN THE GARBAGE YOUR OVERPAID PROGRAMMERS SPEW/VOMIT. OLD ADAGE 'IF IT'S NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT' YOU AND @Microsoft ARE INVASSIVE INTRUSIVE PUTRID INCOMPETENT NINCOMPOOPS

  • flidaix alba (@flidaix) reported

    @Outlook I don't have access to my account because the password and recovery email were changed to ones I don't know, so this is useless information as it doesn't help me resolve my problem.

  • gex60509 Gex (@gex60509) reported

    ...@Outlook for the web is probably one of the crappiest sites out there. Glitchy, slow, no spell check, total trash. This is why I'm migrating to Google @MicrosoftHelps @Office365

    @Outlook Microsoft customer support keeps hanging up while I’m on hold. I guess my company is supposed to just shut down for the day???? This is insane!!! They are killing businesses. Stay away if you are a small business.

  • Semper_Viventem Konstantin Kulikov (@Semper_Viventem) reported

    Work Profile by @Google is terrible. I just want to add a work calendar and Gmail to my personal android device and don't create your ******* work profile at the system lvl. It's so good that I can just use the @Outlook app with Gsute account instead of Google services.

    @AskWorkspace, @MSFT365Status, @Outlook Since yesterday I can't send E-Mails from Outlook for Mac or Outlook on iOS via through my Google Workspace Account. Is there a known problem?

  • ggonmar Guille 🇺🇦 (@ggonmar) reported

    I decided to give a try to @Outlook after 5 years, see if there had been any kind of improvement there. In less than 5 minutes I'm annoyed: Ads to upgrade plan up on top, and keyboard shortcuts not working (how on earth can I quickly select emails there?!). See you in 5 years!

  • KaijuSizedBear Kaiju-Sized Bear (@KaijuSizedBear) reported

    How is @Microsoft’s @Outlook search function so terrible? It doesnt make sense to me how they could make something so inoperable. What is the point of even having a search option if it is going to be this useless?

  • nava_dublin Nava (@nava_dublin) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook @Office on IPhone 11 Pro with IOS 16.3.1, outlook V. 4.2309.0 updated a couple of hours ago, it’s crashing, restarted phone, reinstalled app but same issue, when opening it crashes. Any ideas what issue could be? Thanks #outlook #outlookcrash

  • SunnydaleDreams SunnydaleDreams (@SunnydaleDreams) reported

    @Outlook What have you done now? Every time you meddle with Outlook and add even more bells-and-whistles, you make the whole thing clunkier. It's almost unusable now - very slow-loading and slow-going while typing an e-mail on Firefox web browser, on a laptop. Please stop adding

  • gingerannie34 Annie C 💙 (@gingerannie34) reported

    Does anyone else have trouble with not getting random emails on Hotmail? It's really bizarre. There's no pattern to it either. First time I noticed was when I stopped getting my payslips... @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  • Arrow_and_Bass DS (@Arrow_and_Bass) reported

  • dixiegodown Suck that Birky out that **** (@dixiegodown) reported

    Outlook got rid of the toolbar at the bottom of compose email AND there's no way to add it back? You need to fix this asap @Outlook this is AWFUL

  • JohnFiorello John Fiorello (@JohnFiorello) reported

    Finally received the @Outlook for web update and it's terrible. Send message above the compose window, commonly used tools hidden in menus in the toolbar, it's so counter-intuitive that I really can't imagine how it was approved. #UIfail #outlookforweb

  • FIXMYEMAIL Ron Nokes (@FIXMYEMAIL) reported

    @Lois68 @Outlook I've had the same problem! For some reason they won't DM me to ask for my SIR number, getting really worried now!
