    @Outlook I used Outlook (via 365) on my PC for years. I just downloaded the Mac versions. Have question and problem. Q: How do I request a "read receipt" in the Mac version? P: When I reply to an existing message that I brought over from the PC, it's not applying the signature.

  • LoneFox98 Owen Vincent (@LoneFox98) reported

    @Outlook 1. I was doing it online. And 2. I've done that. And still says sign in blocked. Signed in to many times

  • dgm9704 John Nordberg (@dgm9704) reported

    Oh btw @Outlook could you also finally fix the stupid default with automatic formatting or whatever it is that breaks the standard signature separator "-- " ie. dash dash space. (I can't remember the RFC)

  • Steph33635 Stephanie (@Steph33635) reported

  • Islandgrlsammi IslandgrlSammi (@Islandgrlsammi) reported

    @Outlook I finally figured out our issue and got email back!!!

  • scottgal ʎɐʍollɐפ ʇʇoɔS (@scottgal) reported

    @owenblacker @Outlook I still contend the Ribbon is MIcrosoft's biggest UX mistake since Bob. Yet they still can't see beyond it. Hint though, right click and 'use simplified ribbon' to shrink it down.

  • ByTeddyBailey Teddy Bailey (@ByTeddyBailey) reported

    hello why are you broken every single monday @Outlook

  • jcmn jcmn (@jcmn) reported

    @Outlook Hi I have a weird issue with Outlook 2019 since mid May, whenever I want to sync my email account from outlook domain I`m asked for email and password and then it says the email is wrong or non existant, what is false. The version for android works, and web also works.

  • hermitdave Hermit Dave ⚡♻️🌍 (@hermitdave) reported

    @Outlook on iOS has been extremely unreliable off late. I have reset accounts, moved exchange to stock mail client, reinstalled the app yet problems keep coming back

  • Mitch_it333 Mitch (@Mitch_it333) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook Why arent there any emails in my sent emails file? This is causing massive issues in my work.

  • GowthamTech1 Gowtham Tech (@GowthamTech1) reported

    @gmail I know the steps to move a mail from Spam. The problem is not to send @Outlook mails to Spam. Note this as a feedback.

  • habsburg1683 Tanner (@habsburg1683) reported

    @Outlook Hey Outlook, thanks for responding. When I receive an email in the app and try to reply the app closes and I’m just on my homescreen. There is no error message. Thanks

  • amdphotos_ . (@amdphotos_) reported

    @Outlook is outlook down? Email won’t load on the app or through the online desktop version. Just keeps showing the envelope

  • ScottKraenzlein Scott Kraenzlein (@ScottKraenzlein) reported

    @Outlook There seems to be a particularly nasty IMAP sync error in (New)OUTLOOK 365. I switched back to the legacy version and it appears large chunks of my email correspondence is now gone😠. You should make users aware of this issue when making the switch.

  • habsburg1683 Tanner (@habsburg1683) reported

    @Outlook hey fix your IOS app. I haven’t been able to respond to emails for weeks in the app

  • czmyt Stephen J. Schmidt (@czmyt) reported

    After the Android version of Microsoft @Outlook continued to have sync problems with my Office 365 email account, I gave @gmail another try, and I generally find the current version of Gmail so much better!

  • modestgoblin Thomas Sikma (@modestgoblin) reported

    @_steve2_ @Outlook maybe slow down

  • owenblacker Owen Blacker (@owenblacker) reported

    @joehudsonsmall @Outlook Sure. Doesn't mean they're right, tho. It's a Dell XPS 13 9370, only a few years younger than Windows 10 The primary issue, from my perspective, is an accessibility thing. I need the OS zoomed to 300% to be able to work comfortably, so the 3840×2160 screen res isn't meaningful

  • SandraDammer94 Sandra (@SandraDammer94) reported

    @Outlook I’m getting a lot of spam emails, what’s going on. The filters are terrible!

  • owenblacker Owen Blacker (@owenblacker) reported

    @scottgal @Outlook That's the thing, I don't want it shrunk down. In those 2 specific cases, I want rid of the 250px space between the date and the calendar and an ability to collapse some of the 400px of message header and 300px of attachments (and to dismiss the 80px a11y message, if poss)

  • Null_Inflikted Phil (@Null_Inflikted) reported

    For some reason @Outlook app has signed me out and won't sign back in. Problem with the app since it updated?
