    @InquisiteFurki @Outlook Uninstalling now 😫. We have been with @Outlook for almost 12 years and have had to call a few times and they are rude and never help fix the issue. This sucks. Hope you have better luck 🍀!!

    @Microsoft @Outlook I am unable to login into my account for which I had setup 2 factor ms auth. I recently formatted my phone and forgot to take the backup. It doesn't show any other way to recover the account! Can you please help?

  • salpighazarian salpi ghazarian (@salpighazarian) reported

    @Outlook Why, why remove the 'see who you forwarded this to' feature? and why remove the moving up and down in a thread, or in Inbox? I have to take 4 steps, where 1 worked fine! Help!!!

  • chuckwolber Chuck Wolber (@chuckwolber) reported

    Well @Outlook we are making slow but sure progress I guess. Upgraded to 2019 and now no more beach-ball pauses, but the outbox gets flustered and likes to complain for hours about not being able to send. Checked around, this is happening to a lot of people.

  • DanielleSATM Danielle Solzman ✡️🕎✡️🎥🎞️🎬 (@DanielleSATM) reported

    @Outlook I need to be able to update information for one of my connected accounts but it keeps saying to try again later. I tried using the Mail app and I'm having the same issues over there. Why should I be paying for the larger inbox when I can't even respond to emails?

  • budgiesmuggle45 budgiesmuggler45 (@budgiesmuggle45) reported

    @Outlook Had the same issue with Virgin and my email. I let them know a few times and within a couple of weeks things improved. I've communicated with MS about the same issue and again things got better. I know there are things you can do to improve how much spam lands direct in inbox.

  • franktankkk Frankie (@franktankkk) reported

    @meeessshhhh @Outlook TERRIBLE!!! They will have me thinking I’m making things up when I know they exist but I just can’t find it

  • Poojashah08 Pooja Shah (@Poojashah08) reported

    @Outlook so everytime I've tried to send an email with an attachment today i receive a message dating the recipient rejected my email which isn't true. How can I fix this?

  • Fhem_lee Phfemi Akinola (@Fhem_lee) reported

    @Outlook No push notifications for outlook mail on Android. Any fix please

  • DanielleSATM Danielle Solzman ✡️🕎✡️🎥🎞️🎬 (@DanielleSATM) reported

    I'm having major issues with being able to send or respond through my @Outlook account for any emails that are sent to SATM at the moment. Apparently, they've had sync issues for over two weeks and there's still no update.

  • RaphaAyuk Rapha Ayuk (@RaphaAyuk) reported

    Hey @Outlook what's going on with the exchange server?

  • mattang Mat Ong* (@mattang) reported

    @Outlook great. except windows 11 has broken the index of outlook, so you can’t search emails received in the last week. why is this still not fixed?

  • brygentry Bryan Gentry (@brygentry) reported

    @Outlook allows us to edit subject lines on replies, but most of the time we just let those spelling errors remain so the chain stays unbroken. "Need studnets to feature." "Seeking climate chnag expert" "Let's have a conversatoin"

  • Stephanie8754 Stephanie (@Stephanie8754) reported

    @Anne4995 @Outlook In my honest opinion,there is a good chance of recovery,I guess you reach out to @901CYBER he helped me recover my account which had similar issues with yours

  • ntkernel Robert (@ntkernel) reported

    @markwilsonit @Outlook @MicrosoftTeams I dont know if its the same thing, but we had an issue where every meeting sent from OWA would default and add a teams meeting. Set-OrganizationConfig -OnLineMeetings....$False

  • Nikio001 Theresa Palmer Niki (@Nikio001) reported

    @Amy_sprick @Outlook Same thing happen to here I wasn’t able to login my account regardless I have made several complain to there team but luckily I was directed to (zbctech) on Instagram by a friend and they help me fix my account back

  • LivviJadeE Livvi-Jade (@LivviJadeE) reported

    @Outlook I keep seeing unsuccessful sign in from a windows computer. I don’t even own or access a windows computer. Even tho I have changed my password and got the Authenticator app I still feel compromised. Help!

  • HelenDownham Helen Downham (@HelenDownham) reported

    @Outlook for the last two days any emails I’ve sent from my hotmail account with a word attachment have bounced back. I’m self-employed and need to send invoices urgently. Any idea how I can fix this problem?

  • realitybypamela realitybypamela 🇺🇦 (@realitybypamela) reported

    @Outlook I have been having intermittent issues opening Outlook so I decided to update my office and you obliterated my ost file which contained my addresses and calendar. WTAF please tell me how to get it back bc a file search is not retrieving it.

  • budgiesmuggle45 budgiesmuggler45 (@budgiesmuggle45) reported

    @Outlook Hi. Yes i do all i can and report phishing. Problem is that spammers just change headers and mail gets through. Mail going into spam folder is fine but there has been an increase in spam coming direct to inbox. Blocking these isn't working and it's something you'd need to address

  • 78_LKW LIM KHENG WAH (@78_LKW) reported

    @JohnPetals @Outlook Sorry about that quickhackz on Instagram helped me out with a similar problem when support wasn’t really helpful look him up for gelp
