    @smashvilleinc @microsoft @Outlook surely it would be a v.simple matter to check any email flagged with keywords like "invoice" "sign in" and big companies, that don't have the domain name matching the company to catch most phishing in your email services?

  • omkar_thoughts_ Omkar Khilari (@omkar_thoughts_) reported

    I never seen @Apple mail app sending me notifications, It works terrible. Then I started using @Outlook like daily driver and suddenly apple mail started behaving like the most sincere app in my phone. Can someone explain?

  • huddie71 Paul Anderson (@huddie71) reported

    @Outlook It's at the point now where barely a day goes by where I don't have to deal with some new kind of Outlook failure. And each time it's a new failure or a new bug. There just isn't the time to notify Microsoft of all these issues, God knows I've tried.

  • MrsXXV25 Karen ♿♀️🌞💐 🇬🇧 (@MrsXXV25) reported

    Is there a problem with @Outlook just now? My husband's isn't working and I've had an email to my recovery address saying that there has been unusual sign in activity. Seems a coincidence.

  • AlexRMiles Miles Alexander (@AlexRMiles) reported

    @Outlook this roulette wheel style scroll in the calendar in the app is so ducking dumb. I want to scroll over to tomorrow, not maybe Tuesday, or maybe next Friday. Fix. #complaintoftheday

  • DesignByClaireB Claire Barnett (@DesignByClaireB) reported

    @Outlook can you please move the read/unread, delete/ flags back to the left or give option to choose position in webmail. It’s so impractical on a 27” screen - genuine usability issues

  • ItsT05020624 Its___T! (@ItsT05020624) reported

    Look here buttmunchers @Outlook @microsoft, If I wanted that ****** Bing or Edge I would install it on my phone. The fact yall slipped Bing in Outlook and hijacked all android phones copy/paste is 🖕🏾. Im reporting this to my IT dept so they can issue a uninstall notice.

  • stijnhommes Stijn Hommes (@stijnhommes) reported

    @Microsoft, please fix One @Outlook before it is too late. We need the web version to look like the desktop app, not the other way around. Don't make Outlook a collaboration app instead of a mail client. It needs to effectively manage mail. Anything else should be a side note.

  • suestroud Sue Stroud she/her 🍊❤️💪🏼🇺🇦🌻 (@suestroud) reported from Central Saanich, British Columbia

    Hey @MicrosoftEdge @Outlook We don't need that idiotic "visit site" box you added to our emails! It just adds more clutter & every email with a site already has a site link. Stop fixing what isn't broken. Also I want to COMPLETELY delete the Archives file.

  • jcknotts Jim Knotts (@jcknotts) reported

    @zollotech iOS Mail app for sure. @Outlook for iOS is terrible!

  • Stewart16320060 Stewart Hughes (@Stewart16320060) reported

  • garrettcicuto Garrett Cicuto (@garrettcicuto) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @zollotech @gmail for personal. Wow, they need to fix the scroll flicker issue. And @Outlook for work. I do like having email + calendar in one app.

  • Vikas_Salve Vikas Dilip Salve (@Vikas_Salve) reported

    @Outlook Unfortunately unlock option not working if I enter mobile number opt not send to my mobile number

  • TheRomit Romit Mehta (@TheRomit) reported

    @Outlook are you aware of this? Notifications (badges) are badly broken for quite some time now, and I am still seeing the drafts issue intermittently.

  • MarkRoo92 Mark Rooney (@MarkRoo92) reported from Fleetwood, England

    @StroppyW @Outlook Mines really slow now and crashes all the time

  • PoTheTatoMan 🥔 PoTheTatoMan 🥔 (@PoTheTatoMan) reported

    Dear @Outlook I don’t care if you think I typed my most recently used passwords wrong. Dude who is clearly not me has my account, don’t just shut the ticket down in an automated email and tell me to submit it with more accurate information.

  • thedunnegroup Dunne Search Group (@thedunnegroup) reported

    @Outlook Does anybody else have this issue with Outlook? When I am on my phone and looking for a email sent to me… Why does it pull up every sent message instead? It takes me a very long time to find the email. Why does it not show incoming messages only?

  • Ritbkk Rit - BKK (@Ritbkk) reported

    Microsoft for small own business is sucks! Problem can’t be solve @Office @Outlook 🖕

  • thedunnegroup Dunne Search Group (@thedunnegroup) reported

    @Outlook Unreal. I was on with the outlook person and when they disconnected from me, they did not even call me back. The outlook problems continue and our businesses will suffer due to the errors of this awful software that I paid for. Microsoft needs to go away. I am done.

  • kwondo1991 Kwon Do 1991 (@kwondo1991) reported

    @Outlook Hi Is Outlook down? I cannot open it. I restarted my computer twice.

  • cabbagesofdoom Richard Edwards (@cabbagesofdoom) reported

    @phatmattbaker @Outlook Ah, is this when you reply to your own reply in a “conversation”? I think “reply-all” gets round the issue. (But it is annoying! Don’t call it a conversation if I can reply to just myself!)

  • IamRavindu Ravindu Thimantha Gamage (@IamRavindu) reported

    Am I the only one having issues connecting to @Microsoft servers? Cannot even login to @Outlook!

  • cabbagesofdoom Richard Edwards (@cabbagesofdoom) reported

    @phatmattbaker @Outlook I have a similar problem with the new “silent draft save” feature if you look at another email before hitting send. Keep finding I sent emails that I thought I’d sent!

  • FollowOCD Oscar Creative Digital (@FollowOCD) reported

    I lost all my old family photos and artwork when #Hotmail migrated to @Outlook and have still not received help in getting those memories back. Anyone else have a similar issue?

  • MarkRoo92 Mark Rooney (@MarkRoo92) reported from Fleetwood, England

    @Outlook why is it so painful to use the app now it’s so slow and crashes all the time I can’t even open an email anymore
