  • pseudokings the pseudokings (@pseudokings) reported

    .@Microsoft @Outlook Fire whoever thought dumbing the Outlook Android app down with the idiotic "SEE MORE" box that brings up the rest of a long email in a pop-up. Utter stupidity that adds nothing. Nothing. Do better.

  • pavikanagu கனகு... (@pavikanagu) reported

    @Outlook i regret that I have used outlook email for my communications. I cant access my email account coz you don't trust my login. But u fail to provide verification method. You are not sending verification code at all.

  • ifrhv3 I. (@ifrhv3) reported

    Locked out of my @Outlook account and the help articles tell me in order to recover my account I have to sign in. FFS. 😩

  • SOHOBE SOHO Business Ent. (@SOHOBE) reported

    For goodness sake, @Microsoft! One of my clients found out that his email was redirected to an outlook[dot]com account. How do I contact someone at your company to have that account closed down? Your "support" goes nowhere. @Outlook

  • meow2008 AnimalLover (@meow2008) reported

    @Outlook Nice of you to mention (NOT) that you changed the outgoing server name. Took me HOURS of effing around to FIGURE THAT OUT.

  • NilanjanS नीलांजन | Nilanjan (@NilanjanS) reported

    Hi @MicrosoftHelps @MicrosoftIndia @Outlook facing problems with outlook server unable to download mails since 28th January either of mobile or notebook. Is there any issues with services in India?

  • CannabisKerry NorCalWeedGal (@CannabisKerry) reported

    Dang, too bad no one @GoDaddyHelp understands their own technology anymore. Literally 11 hours with them so far to simply sync @Outlook with gmail 😳 AND THEY NEVER SOLVED THE ERROR MESSAGE PROB! Truly unbelievable. #theworst #CustomerExperience #customerservice

  • thommck Thom McKiernan ☁️🛡️💻 (@thommck) reported

    @markwilsonit @Outlook Also, reminds me of when I used to install Outlook as a Windows service on a server to send scheduled emails back in the day

  • BlondeLogically LogicallyBlonde (@BlondeLogically) reported

    @Outlook Could you perhaps advise why I’m not getting the e-mail response in the 24 hours stated to my other e-Mail address? Why is that process not working? Submitted all the information and then nothing? It’s a bit 💩

  • lew_sothebys Lew Geffen Sotheby's International RealtyCenturion (@lew_sothebys) reported

    @Outlook is outlook down?

  • liam_happe Liam Happe (@liam_happe) reported

    @Outlook Fix your junk mail blockers on outlook urgently please. The amount of junk mail and scam emails getting through lately again is nothing short of staggering. It's the worst of all email providers. I get 10 junk emails everyday without fail. Not good enough whatsoever Microsoft!

  • VictoriaParnis Victoria Parnis (@VictoriaParnis) reported

    @Outlook hey my outlook is not loading my emails from the 1st January on my app or my server I don’t know how to fix it your trouble shooting page is too complicated

  • markwilsonit Mark Wilson 💉💉💉 (@markwilsonit) reported

    @AdamFowler_IT @MaxSanna @Outlook #Viva's advice is just surfacing an old Outlook feature but it's badly named because it doesn't delay delivery (i.e. hold it on the mail server). It delays send (holds it in the sending mail client)

  • BlondeLogically LogicallyBlonde (@BlondeLogically) reported

    @Outlook could a human help me please? I have been going round in circles trying to unblock my e-Mail account - I have sausage fingers and typed my password incorrectly. Your virtual help won’t help me unless I can sign in, and I’m not getting a response from the reset process🤪

  • drjphazelton Joshua Hazelton (@drjphazelton) reported

    @macky_neal @Zoom @Outlook "I am unavailable via phone, text, email, or EMR message until _____. For urgent issues please contact _____." No explanation needed. Enjoy vacation.

  • isaiah_turnbull Isaiah Turnbull (@isaiah_turnbull) reported

    @macky_neal @Zoom @Outlook I have a collaborator whose out of office autoreply politely says: I’m out. All emails from this time to this time will be deleted unread. For urgent issue contact X. For non urgent issues email me after this time. I’ve never had the gravitas to attempt it, but it’s the way…

  • RyanN1621 i draw things, sometimes. (@RyanN1621) reported

    @Outlook is the biggest piece of ****, no customer service number or email, no live chat and they don’t respond to the password reset form email after a month of attempts. All I need to do is clear out my cache but I can’t thanks to how terrible their service is.

  • srivi20 Srivats Lakshman (@srivi20) reported
