    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I reported a bug perhaps 20 or 25 times re. email body scrolling up/down for no reason when editing an email using the desktop app. Reported here, on the feedback hub, via feedback tab. Bug is months old, affecting basic functionality. What's happening?

  • Izaak40828175 Izaak (@Izaak40828175) reported

    @Outlook Are there issues with outlook app atm? Having problems sending and recieving emails.

  • rhi_anon Rhianon (@rhi_anon) reported

    For WEEKS I've been unable to click on a given day/time on @Outlook calendar to add events. The only way I can do it is by clicking "new event" and then changing all the date/time settings there. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this. Has anyone else seen/solved this?

  • DottirGongu 𝓖ö𝓷𝓰𝓾 𝓓ó𝓽𝓽𝓲𝓻 _____ 🇮🇸 _____ ( 🇩🇪 ) (@DottirGongu) reported

    @bernabephoto @Outlook Have you ONLY blocked the email addresses? - You can also block the server / domain .... they should all be on one and be generated automatically

  • arnav13 Arnav Mehta (@arnav13) reported

    @Outlook This is with reference to outlook mobile application on iPhone. It seems that I am one of the many who have been facing this issue. It will be helpful if @MicrosoftHelps or @Outlook could give us remedy measures/ timeline when this issue would be solved.

  • hybrid_angerman angerman (@hybrid_angerman) reported

    @elborro @bolnr1 @Outlook Seems, saw multiple reports and fix suggestions for it

  • edspar Ed Sparks (@edspar) reported

    @paulrobichaux @Outlook It's beyond terrible and cludgy

  • WEJDANH19 وجدان. (@WEJDANH19) reported

    @Outlook Hello outlook, I have a problem logging in to the email, I forgot the password, and when I asked to verify the identity using the phone number, I did not receive any code

  • Anshul17840647 Anshul (@Anshul17840647) reported

  • WonderW97800751 Woman of Wonder (@WonderW97800751) reported

    @bernabephoto @Outlook That’s terrible

  • Cuddy120 Bobby Cuddy (@Cuddy120) reported

    @rhymeswithcandy @Outlook Same. Mine has been down all day.

  • rootsecdev rootsecdev (@rootsecdev) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook When I switched phones the restore went fine. Anything with a 2FA code worked with no issue. M365 enterprise accounts was a different story. Over all pretty painless.

  • rhymeswithcandy mandy weber (@rhymeswithcandy) reported

    @Outlook is your service down right now? Trying to access email and it will not connect?

  • paulsanders87 Paul Sanders (@paulsanders87) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook It’s worked well for me, after I worked out the process. I needed to select the restore option as the very first step in the app, and not run through the standard wizard and then sign in. It doesn’t make it very obvious when running the app

  • molislaegers Martijn Olislaegers (@molislaegers) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook Only worked for my Hotmail account. All others where either gone or not working anymore. Lastpass auth backup works flawless

  • no_marshall Marshall_No_Matters (@no_marshall) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps Is there any known issue???

  • kradon86 Kyle (@kradon86) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook No issue with my TOTP codes, mixed results with Microsoft or AAD accounts

  • christodd10 Chris Anderson (@christodd10) reported

    @dbrinkmann @ITguySoCal @Outlook Backup worked flawlessly for me - though I was very nervous it would fail. What kills me, and the reason why everything isn’t in it, (1) cross device support is terrible and (2) multiple accounts be website is horrendous

  • woolfy_25 Woolfy 25 (@woolfy_25) reported

    @Outlook Why do I need to sign in my accounts every few days it's so annoying!

  • jonbuckley Jon Buckley (@jonbuckley) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook Just had this with a new IPhone. I had to re-auth all my AAD accounts. Generic MFA website stuff no issue.

  • SpursTotal TotalSpurs (@SpursTotal) reported

    @Outlook is Outlook down? Does not login

  • DrRitaMc Dr. Rita McCracken, MD, PhD (she/her) (@DrRitaMc) reported

    Hey @Microsoft365 @Outlook all the content of emails and attachments has disappeared from my desktop inbox. Restarting x 2 has not helped. Automatic updates turned on. (MacOS big sur, 11.6) No issue with emails on iPhone. Googled for answers… no luck. 😬 what do I do?

  • meuon Mike Harrison (@meuon) reported

    I'd tweet about the issues sending voicemail and faxes to @Outlook / Exchange /@Microsoft / @Office365 systems with PDFs and WAV files, but I'm sure they cant handle more than 2147483647 tweets/complaints.

  • michael_24 Michael (@michael_24) reported

    @ITguySoCal @Outlook It brought back the AAD account names but all in broken states where I had to re-do them all for M365 accounts (Notify via app). So complete failure in my use case when getting a new phone.

  • haja_mohaideen Haja Mohaideen (@haja_mohaideen) reported

    I wonder when @Microsoft @Outlook will resolve the 3rd party email client issue. Really messing up my workflow.

  • kels_suth 𝚔𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚒𝚎 (@kels_suth) reported

    @Outlook WHYYYYYYYYY ARE YALL ALWAYS SO SLOW. I GOT **** TO DO WTF

  • jyotish_13 JYOTISH ROY (@jyotish_13) reported

    Since the last few days, ever since Windows 11 came, Outlook's mail search is facing problems. @Outlook @Microsoft @Windows

  • fblomdces Christina Stocks (@fblomdces) reported

    I can't even get into the web page for @Outlook. Is anyone else having issues?

  • PaulKiem Paul Kiem (@PaulKiem) reported

    @Outlook @Outlook it appears to be working. That’s the frustrating part - it’s all a bit random. But, assuming this was written by a person, thanks for taking the trouble to get in touch.
