    @BoreanJordan @Outlook Thanks but that errors saying it can't find an event by that name

  • CarsTravelFood CarsTravelFood (@CarsTravelFood) reported

    @Outlook Last few days - can't Send email on Mac mail. I know we updated keychain access to allow Safari to be viewed, but doubt that has to do with this issue? It says all outlook email accounts on Mac mail are Offline.

  • NaniB88 Nancy Johanna (@NaniB88) reported from Boston, Massachusetts

    @Outlook what is going on with my Hotmail account that it won’t let me log in! I’ve already reset password a few times. Still nothing. Won’t connect to server. (Yes I still have a hotmail email account. Don’t judge me. )

  • bikkyroy Baiju Kumar Roy (@bikkyroy) reported

    @Microsoft @Outlook Is there any problem with you, not been able to login

  • BoreanJordan Jordan Borean (@BoreanJordan) reported

    @guyrleech @Outlook I think thats part of the problem. You need to register the event on a single item rather than the list. So you need to figure out how to get a single item and try and use that as the object you are registering on.

  • Etcaetera_Etc Nancy Tremblay (@Etcaetera_Etc) reported

    @Outlook @OmarTheSaab Me, I can't send any message (An internal server error occurred. The operation failed. Cannot submit message) since yesterday. Web Outlook version on Chrome.

  • kennedyneil Neil Kennedy (@kennedyneil) reported

    I moved exclusively to the @Outlook web app last year for work emails. At the time it was so much faster than the desktop app but over the past few months it's gotten so slow it's not fun to use anymore. Everything from navigating around to right clicking is painful.

  • redluvr82 Jason (@redluvr82) reported

    @Outlook @danielm316 Y’all need to open a case for this because many people are having this issue! There’s a setting in Outlook to *ONLY* allow people you’ve added to the safe senders list to come to your inbox. But spam is coming to our inboxes!

  • dave22445 Davis mavis (@dave22445) reported

    @spam84 @Outlook The issue of support is that they don’t reply and they don’t treat their client well, honestly I advise you send a message to Hawkseye_hack on instagram he will surely help you solve your issues he was able to solve mine and I never regretted it!

  • tazorack Taz (@tazorack) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps This is a old issue with @Outlook can you guys please fix this? When someone sends a meeting/event/appointment, then you press accept the email disappears from your inbox and seems deleted. The email should stay and just show that people accepted. It is annoying.

  • immer_da immerda (@immer_da) reported

    @Outlook how do we opt out our IMAP server from being crawled by your cloud sync? We do not want this feature for our users! Is this even legal? You are phishing for our passwords!

  • gareth_burrows1 Gareth Burrows (@gareth_burrows1) reported

    @Outlook is there a fix for push notifications on iOS 15 yet? I upgraded to a new phone that had iOS 15 installed and noticed I’m not getting and notifications even though everything is set to receive them.

  • lachstep Stéphane Lachance (@lachstep) reported

    Is @Outlook for Mobile broken or something? For the last few days, it's been sending marketing emails to my priority inbox that it never used to send there. Did they change something?

  • sgunja Saif Gunja (@sgunja) reported

    Productivity on the new @Outlook down at least 25% since new update

  • pdfconvertme pdfconvert.me (@pdfconvertme) reported

    If you have an email serviced by @Outlook you may not be getting emails as they are blocking my mail server. I opened a ticket with them but they have closed it saying "Our investigation has determined that the above IP(s) do not qualify for mitigation." Alrighty then. 1/x

  • msstrawann 🤎MsStrawAnn🍂 (@msstrawann) reported

    @Outlook Okay I fixed it myself. Password changed, email removed and problem solved. Still can't access half my information for 30 days.

  • ChrisStribbs Chris Stribblehill #DYSPR (@ChrisStribbs) reported

    @Outlook @MicrosoftHelps I don't want to be nagged to sign into a work account when I'm not working. Make it stop.

  • SnellingDean Dean Snelling (@SnellingDean) reported

    @hermitdave @Outlook Go into iOS settings, scroll all the way down to outlook and have a look in there

  • davidraisman david raisman (@davidraisman) reported

    @Outlook I think the changes made to Outlook over the years have been a treasure. So why don't we bury it? I guess you people never herd the saying, "If it's not broken, don't fix it.

  • Lovelyxxlisa ℓιѕααα ^_−☆ (@Lovelyxxlisa) reported

    @Outlook I wrote to you guys a while back & you guys never got back to me about the issues I was having. Thank god I m don’t use your services anymore. Everything about this sucks & horrible customer service hands down! 😑

  • DickyDotEXE dicky.exe (@DickyDotEXE) reported

    @Rafikyeah @Outlook Are you still having this issue? We are as well.

  • _davidrycroft David Rycroft (@_davidrycroft) reported

    @Outlook my Android app keeps crashing, is there a problem?

  • itsdastalkabruh Landon (@itsdastalkabruh) reported

    To whoever at @Microsoft @Outlook made it to where you have to click a drop down to search all mailbox folders, you suck. I hope this tweet DOESNT find you well. NONE of the best, Landon

  • skylxrksays SKYLXRK (@skylxrksays) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Is anyone else having issues with @Outlook on iOS lately? It keeps freezing up on me and sometimes force closing itself across the last few iOS updates

  • realDotNetDave David McCarter (Microsoft MVP) (@realDotNetDave) reported

    @Outlook I turned off some services yesterday and now Outlook won't work. How do I fix? I tried Repair but it didn't work.

  • rahulj1906 Rahul Jindal (@rahulj1906) reported

    @Outlook are there any issues with Outlook app on Android not synching correctly? I am receiving notifications, but the emails don't show up in inbox on opening the app. Resetting the account in question syncs the emails again. Issue started today. Latest Outlook update installed

  • iamLaurieD Laurette ✨ (@iamLaurieD) reported

    @Outlook Hi I just made a New email and now I can’t access it. I know the password and wrote it down. But it won’t let me sign in. Is there a problem with servers??
