    @Outlook this roulette wheel style scroll in the calendar in the app is so ducking dumb. I want to scroll over to tomorrow, not maybe Tuesday, or maybe next Friday. Fix. #complaintoftheday

    @gmail I have @Outlook as my email provider that doesn't mean you will send my emails in spam in gmail Inboxes. Our team and Outlook team did everything in our capability to resolve this. Please stop being kid and resolve my issues!! #shamegmail @sundarpichai

  • Ecru88 Ecru (@Ecru88) reported from Ontario, California

    @Outlook good morning, my work email I use for Microsoft outlook is not working properly. I can send emails, receive automated emails, but I cannot receive emails. Can I get some help please.

  • nickstenning Nick Stenning (@nickstenning) reported

    Sure, @Outlook, it’s ok that forwarding is broken this morning. I didn’t really need to forward that email. I see you, looking out for my colleagues’ inboxes.

  • MrsXXV25 Karen ♿♀️🌞💐 🇬🇧 (@MrsXXV25) reported

    Is there a problem with @Outlook just now? My husband's isn't working and I've had an email to my recovery address saying that there has been unusual sign in activity. Seems a coincidence.

  • PettefordTim Tim petteford (@PettefordTim) reported

    @Outlook why are red dot 🔴 notifications still not working on e mails. Only after you’ve read them?

  • davidwbowlby David Bowlby (@davidwbowlby) reported

    @Outlook I clearly explained the issue, how about you test and recreate it rather than waste my time.

  • GeraldRTamayo1 G.R. Tamayo (@GeraldRTamayo1) reported

  • mniehaus Michael Niehaus (@mniehaus) reported from Sammamish, Washington

    What's up with @Outlook on Android? For the past two weeks it's been very slow opening E-mails (4-5 seconds each).

  • Shivadelic Gautam (@Shivadelic) reported

    @Outlook Hi, The Outlook on Safari is automatically downloading something called TokeFactoryIfRame. This is happening every 5 to 10 seconds since yesterday. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

  • OutOfTuneCharli OutOfTuneCharli (@OutOfTuneCharli) reported

    Dear @Outlook One would expect there be a brain at Microsoft, but-Keep all emails? Fine. Keep returning them to my Inbox? NOT FINE. (I have an IMAC but it does it on my laptop too so it's not Apple's fault. Fix it please or the 1st decent program comes along I'm gone.

  • thebradpage Brad Page (@thebradpage) reported

    @TestAgency3 It's incredible that after 40+ years of being totally incompetent @Microsoft still can't make their @Outlook signin process understandable. Now it wants you to use its own 2FA which is broken & keeps telling me the account I just set up doesn't exist

  • JSikaffy Jorge Sikaffy (@JSikaffy) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft It's 2022 - why isn't there CalDAV integration with Outlook for Mac? Pls Fix.

  • GeraldRTamayo1 G.R. Tamayo (@GeraldRTamayo1) reported

    Is @outlook mail server down today? I can't receive mail on my outlook email account. #Microsoft #OutLook

  • Rosswelsh211 Rosswelsh21 (@Rosswelsh211) reported

    @Outlook are there any known errors as to why I can not connect to server today? Troubleshooting every way possible

  • HumblePieFace Humble Pieface (@HumblePieFace) reported

    @Outlook YOUR PREDICTIONS ARE LITERALLY DELETING LETTERS AS I TYPE. GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THIS BROKEN S*** NOW

  • femboyable femboyable (@femboyable) reported

  • shanks2727 Galena De Cosmo (@shanks2727) reported

    @Outlook please fix the “download Token frame” prompts in Outlook for Mac. It happens in Safari and Chrome.

  • MeganHassall3 Megan Hassall (@MeganHassall3) reported

    @smashvilleinc @Outlook @Microsoft365 Outlook is not working on my smartphone or tablet. My PC mail client won't connect to Microsoft Exchange and won't accept my login credentials. I can't send/receive e-mails or sync my calendar. 360+ reported outages in the last hour.

  • sksingh3107 Shashikant Singh (@sksingh3107) reported

    @MicrosoftTeams @Outlook Dear Microsoft, Teams and outlook are not working with VPN. Kindly check! #msteams #microsoftteams #outlook

  • existentialjade Jade (@existentialjade) reported

    @Outlook is hands down the most user *unfriendly* email suite I have ever used and I wish it didn't have a chokehold on half the "professional" world.

  • sukunai_itadori Darkskinned Girl (@sukunai_itadori) reported

    @GeraldRTamayo1 @Outlook Nope i have the same issue

  • scholly scholly (@scholly) reported

    @irreverentenant @Outlook Are you having issues? I am. Also the internet in general is being crap. Everything seems to be dragging today. Kind of weird.

  • MeganHassall3 Megan Hassall (@MeganHassall3) reported

    @smashvilleinc @microsoft @Outlook surely it would be a v.simple matter to check any email flagged with keywords like "invoice" "sign in" and big companies, that don't have the domain name matching the company to catch most phishing in your email services?

  • IamRavindu Ravindu Thimantha Gamage (@IamRavindu) reported

    Am I the only one having issues connecting to @Microsoft servers? Cannot even login to @Outlook!

  • sidrahliaqat Sidrah (@sidrahliaqat) reported

    @Outlook @borbajosue Came here to complain about the same issue! This 30 day restriction is completely useless. If somebody is trying to recover their account NOW, they don’t have time to wait 30 day to get into their account. This will only serve to accumulate countless abandoned accounts.

  • dfaulkner_14 Danny Faulkner (@dfaulkner_14) reported

    @Outlook is there anyone that can help me recover an email address that's seem to be in limbo? It was made an alias to my microsoft account, when I try and sign in it says the account doesn't exist and when I try and create the same email address it says it is a reserved domain
