    @Outlook need some assistance, I have Outlook 365 sub, nut when I log in online now my account is empty, no emails, received or sent. I do most of my work on my iMac and I'm not on a server, can you assist?

  • JournoJess97 Jess Sharp (@JournoJess97) reported

    @Outlook Can you help? My elderly grandmother is having problems logging into her email account & is getting quite stressed. I have tried calling contact support/using your website but not getting the help I need! She is visiting from Spain and needs access to her account ASAP

  • Emiroda Kasper Jensen 🇩🇰 (@Emiroda) reported

    @david_obrien @Outlook I don't have that problem? Oh yeah, I forgot Outlook Desktop still exists. 🤭

  • david_obrien David O'Brien (he/him) (@david_obrien) reported

    I really like @Outlook 's "send later". That way I (hopefully) don't disturb anybody's "out of hours". I'd love it more if the email actually went out & be sent from the server, not the client, at the right time. Now my computer needs to be turned on at the configured time.

    @Outlook Hi,having problems with my hotmail account. Tried to log out, then log back in, but it's just coming up with "sever issues" and not logging me in. Any ideas?

  • Im_tired_again Chris Martin (@Im_tired_again) reported

    @Outlook Hi can you assist me with my outlook account please or can I DM you? I’ve tried chat and my issue isn’t available

  • TheRevPlays Brandon (@TheRevPlays) reported

    .@Outlook The most current update to your Android App has completely broken it. Please fix this ASAP or perform a rollback, thanks.

  • JacobGAlvarez Jake A (@JacobGAlvarez) reported

    @Outlook PLEASE make it so declined meetings still show up on the calendar!! Erasing them to a deleted folder is a terrible function.

  • trentontheradio Trent (@trentontheradio) reported

    Today I left @Outlook for Android to use @9FoldersInc mail app. This is because the most recent version of Outlook has been buggy for weeks with a fault which kills the app if you switch folders, with the only fix to remove and reinstall.

  • SusanWCockrell Susan Cockrell (@SusanWCockrell) reported from Redmond, Washington

    @tweet_alqamar @OfficeInsider @Outlook Sorry for my tardy reply! For Android, were you able to send the issue in via the Help->Feedback->Contact Outlook Mobile Support?

  • chris_hedge1984 The Cats Whiskers (@chris_hedge1984) reported

    @Outlook Hi logged out of hotmail account as it wasn't working properly, now can't log back in. Says sever issues. Help please

  • NikkiClints Nikki Clinton (@NikkiClints) reported

    @Outlook Apologies. I spent 2 days and 14 hrs!!! on the phone with an agent rectifying the problems the previous agent created. I think we are finally almost there. Thank you.

    Hey @Outlook your iPhone app f@#$'n sucks - please fix it

  • aebarbour -on a beach- (@aebarbour) reported

    @Outlook starting today, 3rd Sept, your app on Android, keeps hanging / crashing therefore is unusable. Are you aware of any issues?

  • JonathanLipsky1 Jonathan Lipsky (@JonathanLipsky1) reported

    @Outlook Ya'll have the worst filtering, all the spam phishing emails go to my focused inbox. They're always the same, but you can't figure out how to block them. Im gonna have to switch to a different service if this continues. Please fix it

  • john_moore John Moore (@john_moore) reported

    Thinking about the @Outlook working hours thing. I feel like I’d want the opposite…I want to mark the days I’m not working from home. I already mark my calendar on the days I happen to go into the office and color code an all day event.

  • john_moore John Moore (@john_moore) reported

    @stevegoodman @Outlook Same, I’m way less available when in the office now. Sing in the office means I’m heads down in a lab doing stuff so I don’t look at IM or email until that evening.

  • alobbs Alvaro Lopez Ortega (@alobbs) reported

    Does anybody know how to use the CTRL + a/e (move to begin/end of line) shortcuts in @Outlook for Mac? — They work in any other app but outlook. It's starting to come a productivity issue and -admittedly- a source of frustration.

  • Darren2502 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙇𝙚𝙚🧐🌊 (@Darren2502) reported

    This issue needs to be resolved ASAP. @Outlook

  • jenmowery1979 Jen Mowery (@jenmowery1979) reported

    @Outlook can someone please respond to my dm regarding email problems? @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft

  • bunnyhustle eric (@bunnyhustle) reported from Grand Rapids, Michigan

    Super. Need to message my Dr. but to sign in they send a code to your email. Well the other day @Outlook decided I wasn’t me anymore and locked my account. Tried fixing it but apparently knowing my password, security questions, and other verifications they won’t let access it.

  • wealthbuildin15 wealthbuildingdad (@wealthbuildin15) reported

    @Outlook hey outlook, starting today my inbox only shows emails going back 1 week. How do I fix this to see all emails?

  • manojmatlani Manoj Matlani (@manojmatlani) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    @Microsoft @Outlook Bunch of unprofessional who are just busy amongst themselves. My business account of Outlook was blocked on 2 SEP. Spoke to Shubham on 080 40103000 and was given a Complain no - 1027747276. Again called today and spoke to Pinky but issue still unresolved.

  • Dr_Jenny_Root Dr. Jenny Root (@Dr_Jenny_Root) reported

    Why is the @Outlook search function sooooooo terrible ? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

  • tweet_alqamar al Qamar (Karl Wester-Ebbinghaus) Ⓥ (@tweet_alqamar) reported

    @SusanWCockrell @OfficeInsider @Outlook Thank you Susan I have tried it, do they have any response time for blocking issues? I was not able to do appointments for more than 1 days span back then I have asked. TY again.
