Outlook.com Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JVoqar Jolly Voqar (@JVoqar) reported

    @Outlook If you're typing an email and one/several of your 50 rules setup to process the endless azure & teams spam fires, it takes the focus away from what you're typing, and contributes to the insanity of humanity. Please fix. PS - all your auto support tools are intolerable

  • ActorCapone Jay (@ActorCapone) reported

    What @MicrosoftHelps needs to do is fix the scam emails that keep coming to peoples focus inbox in the @Outlook app.

  • reesean Sean Ree 🇺🇦 (@reesean) reported

    The macOS version of @Outlook does not allow users to set "weekdays" as a recurring meeting configuration. This is an issue. Nobody wants to meet on weekends by default.

  • td_port td_port🇺🇦 (@td_port) reported

    Hey @Microsoft - why does @Outlook change the default mail view every time I click to the calendar and back again? Issue has been out there for years- go Google it- and fix it. #ugh

  • Jubilian4 Jubilian (@Jubilian4) reported

    @theSdev @Outlook Where u able to fix the issue? I’m having the same problem as well

  • lukesillies Luke Sillies (@lukesillies) reported

    @TomJSeiple @Outlook Outlook is an odd example of differing UX based on your platform. I don't have a outlook app license (why is that a things) so I use the web version. Which has minimal parallels to the app. With today's dev options, that difference is a deliberate choice, not feasibility issue.

  • eealxndr Emily Alexander (@eealxndr) reported

    Free idea: a "transfer responsibility" feature in @Outlook so I can give existing meetings to new owners without them having to set up new meetings and then having to delete old series... Cut down on dozens of silly 'invitation/cancellation' emails

  • boltyboy Matthew Holt (@boltyboy) reported

    It's incredible that after 40+ years of being totally incompetent @Microsoft still can't make their @Outlook signin process understandable. Now it wants you to use its own 2FA which is broken & keeps telling me the account I just set up doesn't exist

  • drydryruins Andrew Thai Dang (@drydryruins) reported

    @MicrosoftAU @Outlook @Microsoft My email locked for no reason. I’m going to make a complaint here cause this is done in error and if you’re doing this to “protect” customers then why can’t you be like discord and ask the recovery if it was the user. Also the form isn’t good.

  • dominikconrads Dominik Conrads (@dominikconrads) reported

    @Outlook and again I get no push notifications for new mails from an exchange account with the iOS app. This is a dealbreaker for a mail client. What’s broken?

  • lukesillies Luke Sillies (@lukesillies) reported

    I often think about disruption and how good UX should win out. But then I have spent 2 hours (not a joke) trying to figure out how to ask permission to see someones calendar on @Outlook on web. One article suggest a button then said, "If having trouble consult an IT professional"

  • hannahbaker1990 HGB (@hannahbaker1990) reported

    @Outlook please stop rendering emails through Word, it causes so many formatting issues!

  • SamFotofiend David Samuel (@SamFotofiend) reported

    @Outlook @gmail EMAIL IS FRACKED SPREADS TEXT OUT OVER PAGE LEAVING GAPS SNAIL MAIL ONLY CORRECT LAY OUT this is so morally wrong fix your product or change your name to @Kodak once the most renowned name in the world for 100 years

  • chris_hansson Christoffer Hansson (@chris_hansson) reported

    @Outlook Please fix your iOS app. When replying to an email, the preview shouldn’t auto-scroll to the bottom of it. What I’m replying to is at the top of the email. This seriously makes your app almost useless to me.

  • Prakash25370316 Prakash v.r DOB 19.11.1974 (@Prakash25370316) reported

  • Yato_Gamii Elias (@Yato_Gamii) reported

    @Outlook can you open my dm, I have an urgent issue with your service :(

  • CamillaLatham30 Camilla SL Latham (@CamillaLatham30) reported

    @Outlook Hi, is there any issues with outlook? I had an unread message since last night and it won’t go. But no email?? 🇬🇧

  • SamFotofiend David Samuel (@SamFotofiend) reported

    @Outlook this page stinks of incompetence criminal emails need 2 B blocked and marked as phishing @gmail Is structurally unsound two lines of text is spread across and down the page besides being a venue for hookers.

  • BenMarks Ben Marks (@BenMarks) reported

    Okay #LazyWeb: how do you quickly flag emails for followup in @Outlook for iOS? • I dislike flagging, which seems broken in latest version • I can right-click and create an appointment; works, but a bit cumbersome Add-ins or native, I'll be in your debt.

  • EnaTweetsStuff Estelle (@EnaTweetsStuff) reported

    Having issues with my emails appearing on android app but not on desktop site. Could you help please? @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps

  • phishphood44 LMB (@phishphood44) reported

    @Outlook Hey Guys... I am having issues with my hotmail email that I have used for about 20 years. I have been going in circles with you customer support protocol online. I am two seconds away moving all my email to my gmail account at this point... I need assistance

  • FarAndRide Far And Ride (@FarAndRide) reported

    @Outlook please can you help us? Clients using Outlook with Hotmail accounts are currently unable to email us to our @farandride.com accounts, they bounce back. We are losing business as they believe issue must be on our side, but no problem receiving emails other ways? 🙏

  • TomJSeiple Tom Seiple (He/Him) 🌹 (@TomJSeiple) reported from Ann Arbor, Michigan

    @lukesillies @Outlook … after every hand-off. All the while, their apps and tech solutions offered no channels for problem solving.

  • jenn jenn.com (@jenn) reported

    wtf. It's always @Microsoft @outlook. Outlook is now bouncing messages I am sending to a board member with an "Invalid SPF" error after it has validated a passing SPF?!? WTF. Sigh.

  • tphakala Tomi P. Hakala (@tphakala) reported

    please @Outlook stop enforcing new Outlook on mac, its terrible

  • Jeremy974_TM ᴀʙʙʏɢᴀɪʟ | Jeremy974®™ 🏳️‍⚧️ (@Jeremy974_TM) reported

    And once again, for the 24th time since the start of the year, @Outlook proves itself unreliable when receiving mails... those traveling within Microsoft's servers are A-OK, but those coming from elsewhere... NOPE. @MicrosoftHelps Fix outlook.

  • LuciferChloe_ 🕯️Sheri🕯️#RejoinEU (@LuciferChloe_) reported

    @Outlook good morning team, Since the last update march 2022 from you, I keep getting unwanted junk mail in my Focused Inbox?? I never had that problem before. Ever. When is this going to be fixed? I'm going back to Gmail if this continues. I've done the usual tips and tricks 😭

  • lrichardson727 ʞooן noʎ ǝpɐɯ (@lrichardson727) reported

    @gmail has a new view. It was horrible and they made it worse. Now it's round and a fat bar down the left ya can't get rid of. Excessive padding all over. Instead of trying to mimic @Outlook and #Windows11 why not work on supporting email standards like mail priority?

  • itsDanBull Dan Bull (@itsDanBull) reported

    @Outlook As I've said with my compaints before, it's not an individual customer support issue, it's a general question about the quality of Outlook vs your competitors. It doesn't need to go to DMs.

  • ErnestPeniel Wolverinu_Lover💪🚀🇳🇬🇳🇬 (@ErnestPeniel) reported

    Please guys help me retweet this. I can't receive new emails in my @Outlook email. That means I can't send cryptos to any exchange or wallet 😭😭. I don't know what the problem is. I reached out to @Outlook but they're not replying back.
