  • numeristacom Daniel Page (@numeristacom) reported

    @Microsoft Is there any human in charge of Advanced Threat Protection on @Office365 emails that's generating false positives? Your postmaster it's not their problem. @Outlook can't say much. Our own sales rep is a dead end. No feedback loop, no ownership, no accountability. WTF?

  • LivviJadeE Livvi-Jade (@LivviJadeE) reported

    With all the terrible that is going on in the world @Outlook new interface has to be the most tragic. Thanks for ruining my week with your new unnecessary update.

  • akkcrystal36 TexasMom (@akkcrystal36) reported

    @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 🍀!!

  • 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.

    @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

  • tracylyn44 Tracy D (@tracylyn44) reported

    @Outlook your app hasn’t worked properly in days. I chatted with support and got nowhere. I was told chat is for their website only. Please fix your app! ERROR 2201 is what it keeps saying.

  • 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

  • g00dby3w0rld helloworld (@g00dby3w0rld) reported

    @Outlook hi, I'm having issues moving selected emails to a folder from an android app. I hold down to select email(s) and from the three dot menu, select move to folder and nothing happens, the emails stay I the inbox. How do I get to move them??

  • AshleyOakes Ashley Oakes Scott (@AshleyOakes) reported

    @Outlook now that we were forced into the new version, how do we organize emails by person only in date order? There used to be a drop down where you could choose “from” when on someone’s email. #GiveMeBackOldOutlook

  • foreignlilbizz bizzy ツ (@foreignlilbizz) reported

    i’m 🤏🏼 close to just deleting my @Outlook account, it’s causing me so many issues i’m tired

  • hillbrad Brad Hill (@hillbrad) reported

    Rules based on email headers are no longer supported in New @Outlook for Mac. I feel like I never want to look at my inbox again. What a terrible regression.

  • akkcrystal36 TexasMom (@akkcrystal36) reported

    @InquisiteFurki @Outlook Has your issue been resolved? Still having problems here.

  • 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"

  • revan_joy46 Revan_joy45 (@revan_joy46) reported

    @JoJoshelley @Outlook My son had similar issues but support couldn’t help or at least respond to my mail… i met #Dionysius_helios on lnstagram and he was able to recover my banned account! He’s credibility is top notch 🔝

  • DHCulture DHC (@DHCulture) reported

    @Outlook Hey, I can't access my account due to the issue with password. I provided correct details (like name, birthday - at least year is correct - passwords I use often and last person's email I wrote to with subject.) Please help.
