  • AlexPKunz Alex Kunz (@AlexPKunz) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with @Outlook receiving and sending Gmail emails? I have tried resetting the accounts and everything.

  • julia_locklear Workplace Whisperer (@julia_locklear) reported

    Hey @Outlook why won't any of my gmail accounts sync all of a sudden? I've deleted and added them and resintalled Outlook and nothing; not even an error message telling me what's wrong. I'm using the Mac version.

  • FrankZhuang3 Frank Zhuang (@FrankZhuang3) reported

    @chrisu91 @AlexPKunz @Outlook I hope it is not such a big issue for them. It is kind of annoying to use two apps to receive emails 🙃

  • fortecnow fortecnow (@fortecnow) reported

    @Microsoft please help us! @Outlook is not working with our email account!

  • PMandichSC Petar Mandich (@PMandichSC) reported

    @Outlook Outlook is driving me insane today. I’m getting notifications for emails, but when I open the app on my iPhone and iPad Pro the emails aren’t there. Anyone experiencing that particular issue?

  • Lyric15065445 Lyric (@Lyric15065445) reported

    @Outlook THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY DURING A MAJOR SYSTEMS FAILURE? The pinned message should be a service update. DO NOT REPLY saying your appropriate teams are working on it. The system has been down since ~1am PST but don’t have an up front message to inform us while waiting in chat

  • ajsmith AJ Smith (@ajsmith) reported

    Same as many of you, but @gmail is down on my @outlook on MacOS and iOS

    @mtgScientist24 @stefanudziela @Outlook I suspect that was a different issue on Tuesday

  • ScottUdine Scott Udine (@ScottUdine) reported

    @Outlook Been down for me on my IPhone app for several hours. Receiving emails on my laptop but not the phone app. Any updates on when it will be fixed and working properly again? Thank you!

  • johnpasmore john pasmore (@johnpasmore) reported

    @jhrubin @stefanudziela @Outlook so if someone already has email account setup - you say set up additional/new email account for same email w/ IMAP, correct? Do you think if / when they fix this the emails downloaded into new IMAP account will re-download into old existing folder?

  • Billford123 Billford123 (@Billford123) reported

    @Outlook Think there is an issue with gmail being brought into MS Mail and Outlook....hotmail syncs, gmail does not (since around 12:30pm est)

  • joshfngreen Josh Green (@joshfngreen) reported

    Any fix to @Outlook not updating on iOS and iPadOS?

  • AdamRedhead Adam Redhead (@AdamRedhead) reported

    @Outlook @BLP3Motors Hey @Outlook it looks like there is an issue for Apple users across the board. There is no sync into Outlook for Mac or Outlook on my iPhone. I’m working around it using gmail on my phone. Any update on what’s going on and how long we should expect the system to be down?

  • cumberlate1 .🧪 (@cumberlate1) reported

    @ToniaPa70336560 @Outlook Same issue

    Hi @Outlook I can not connect to my account, both from my iPhone and iPad… it looks like a general problem. Thanks!

  • olislacke Oli Slacke (@olislacke) reported

    @stefanudziela @Outlook Same issue here. Not pulling down on iOS either. When will this be fixed?

  • chrisu91 Chris (@chrisu91) reported

    @FrankZhuang3 @AlexPKunz @Outlook It’s not just you! Also having the same issue with my Gmail account. Did you happen to update the app today? That’s when my issues began.

  • FrankZhuang3 Frank Zhuang (@FrankZhuang3) reported

    @AlexPKunz @Outlook I have the same problem. I removed my gmail account, and added it again but doesn't work. I have to download the Gmail app. I believe it is a global issue?

  • jonreens Promopunk (@jonreens) reported

    @Outlook The proper teams would have tested the updates before rolling it out and taking everything down system-wide. The proper teams would also not take a full workday to roll back the incorrect changes that were made while a patch was figured out.

  • cumberlate1 .🧪 (@cumberlate1) reported

    @Outlook Please fix this gmail issue I lost money today because of y’all

  • jhrubin Jeff Rubin (@jhrubin) reported

    @johnpasmore @stefanudziela @Outlook So, I deleted my Gmail account from outlook and set it up with IMAP. That way everything sync's correctly. When Microsoft fixes the issue, I'll delete the IMAP, re-setup the old way, and everything will stay in sync.

    Gonna go ahead and add myself into the growing annoyance of @gmail --> @Outlook twitter conversation happening right now. my outlook not working on my Mac is really hurting my 9-5 heart.
