  • GreatNorthSnark GreatNorthernSnark (@GreatNorthSnark) reported

    @Outlook -- was on leave for a month, came back to O365 with a full inbox. I've been deleting for HOURS, and made less than a GB of progress; everything else on Earth can delete lickety-split, why does your product have trouble with this simple task? @Microsoft #waiting #tech

  • Amie25813 Amie (@Amie25813) reported

    @Outlook why is it so hard to talk to someone about an issue

  • kurt765 Wear A Mask. Get the vaccine. (@kurt765) reported

    If I have two windows open for @Outlook - one each on different computers - it sure would be nice for things I do on the one computer to push over to the other. Google has no problem with this. I have to reload the browser window for Outlook to know anything has happened.

  • RossSmithIV Ross Smith IV (@RossSmithIV) reported

    @magrom @Outlook I am not seeing issues with contact search within the app. What is the scenario? Also, can you explain what is wrong with contact export? New contacts aren’t getting synced? Changes?

  • alonbrown Alon Brown (@alonbrown) reported

    @Marcel_Swart @Outlook Do they then disappear on the phone? Still trying to see if the deletes are failing to sync up to the server, if they're not getting synced back down to the phone in the background, etc. If you're not sure, might be best to see if they're visible in Outlook on the web.

  • yulia_bulgakova Yulia (@yulia_bulgakova) reported

    Microsoft, please have a bit of compassion towards your users and fix your form, there is clearly something wrong with it 🙏🙏🙏 or at least give an option to speak to real people who can assist over the phone.. and not another phone bot 😭 @MicrosoftHelps @msftsecurity @Outlook

  • DJ_Byrd DJ Byrd (@DJ_Byrd) reported

    @argylsa @diegoloayza @Outlook And still no fix

  • SJBlackTweets Stuart Black (@SJBlackTweets) reported

    @EposVox @Outlook search is utterly useless. I use the desktop client to manage 6 different addresses and can NEVER find the message I want. The app is also generally very buggy and slow.

  • Morriso82076179 Morrison John (@Morriso82076179) reported

    @Etiz12 @Outlook Try contacting this guy @harry_perrel on Twitter he's good he was referred to me when I had issues with my account ... I think he can help you out

  • LiamBCreative Liam Banks (@LiamBCreative) reported

    @Outlook I am having trouble trying to unlock my mums email account with you - we no longer have the phone number listed for verification and the online verification tool is just coming back as unsuccessful - we have been locked out for 3 days now

  • magrom Martina Grom ☁️ #rdsummit (@magrom) reported

    @RossSmithIV @Outlook scenario: search in app brings not all contacts. sync to native contact app is broken. but if Outlook apps works for everyone else, we will look to go through support.

  • cymumtaz C. Yusuf Mumtaz (@cymumtaz) reported

    New problem with @Outlook for #Android: error where email draft recipients are added/ removed in IMAP accounts. Can't send emails from IMAP!

  • MrTetts_YP Mr Tetts (@MrTetts_YP) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @Outlook Hi I’m am experiencing terrible customer service from one of your agents in attempt to recover a password for an account I have had access to for over 10 years. The agent actually had the audacity to tell me just create a NEW ACCOUNT 😤😡

  • ljsimpson2003 Nathan Simpson (@ljsimpson2003) reported

    @Outlook can you please sort out this wired glitch that is happening where I’m apparently getting people to reset their outlook passwords?

  • JasmineCie James Naismith stan account (@JasmineCie) reported

    I really need @Outlook to get a “snooze message” functionality....if it already exists, I need it in that right-click drop down. NEED NEED NEED!

  • orchid8 Sarah Vela (@orchid8) reported

    @LPVhouse @MicrosoftTeams @Outlook also, the GIFs are terrible.

  • SAXYJDJ SAXYJDJ (@SAXYJDJ) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps do you ever plan on fixing and improving the fact that the filters and rule settings in @outlook (legacy hotmail )website version do NOT work. Time to fix it. Dont act like you dont know. You know. Just fix it. #Microsoft #outlook

  • damuffinman damuffinman (@damuffinman) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with their @outlook app on mobile?

  • Steam3D Aleksandr (@Steam3D) reported

    @Outlook is down. When will it work?

  • ultragrrl Hopeful J 😷 💉 (@ultragrrl) reported

    I set up a delayed send for my Outlook outbox. It’s been great so I can catch any mistakes. Problem is I cannot set a timer for a full Send so the messages sit in it. I’ve read the product support pages. I’ve tried multiple settings and nothing works. This can be bad. @Outlook?

  • dbu dbu (@dbu) reported

    how come there is people still using outlook? going nuts with setting up an email account and getting the message "Da hat etwas nicht geklappt." why the hell do you not show WHAT did not work @Outlook ? such terrible stupid user experience.

  • XRayAdams Konstantin Adamov (@XRayAdams) reported

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook Still not good. You did not fix annoying problem. Weh you have outlook minimized (CMD+W) and you click on notification. Email will be opened, but so Outlook and outlook will cover opened email so you have to switch window (CMD+`). This is annoying as hell
