    @Outlook Microsoft has some cool stuff, but is there any chance we could get a major upgrade to Outlook for PCs? The program often lags and crashes. I’ve contacted my office’s IT department, but there’s nothing that can be done. It’s just come to be expected that Outlook will have issues.

  • twisty6663 twisty666 (@twisty6663) reported

    @Outlook please help me i need to talk to support about having trouble signing in to my account

  • jentas1 Jentas (@jentas1) reported

    @scoss @Outlook So, took a buddy's advice, and found if I removed the app through Settings - General - Storage instead of long pressing the screen and hitting remove app, my issue is now resolved.

  • mathursaab94 Shivin Mathur (@mathursaab94) reported

    @Outlook The link here definitely doesn’t talk about the issue I have highlighted.

    @Outlook So, took a buddy’s advice, and found if I removed the app through Settings - General - Storage instead of long pressing the screen and hitting remove app, my issue is now resolved. Thank you so much for getting back to me though. I really appreciate you taking the time!!!

    @bgaprogrammer @PaulSvL @Outlook same. i just did the same thing (uninstall reinstall app) and it fixed mine too. wish that wasn't the solution and wish microsoft still acknowledged it was an issue. it isn't on their service page but it was in the cached? google results. been without notifications for a day.

  • FoxhoundKat Katrina Kregar-Ruck (@FoxhoundKat) reported

    @Outlook @kahborie I am having the same issue too !

    @mathursaab94 @Outlook Issue started last weekend pre 15. Check app store for update to fix this; update went live late yesterday. Was a known issue.

  • thomasbsalvini thomas b salvini 📚🌈 (@thomasbsalvini) reported

    @Outlook The last two days emails viewed on a PC do not display images that are embedded. These are from businesses that have images as part of their email. Help on Outlook acknowledges issue but still no resolve. Any update?

  • LAFCMatt Matt (@LAFCMatt) reported from Los Angeles, California

    Anyone else having issues with @Outlook work accounts fetching new mail automatically on #iOS15?

  • sandmaxprime Lionel Faleiro (he/him)🏳️‍🌈🦄 (@sandmaxprime) reported

    Looks like @Outlook on #iOS15 is broken. Not getting notifications at all. Mails seem to download only after opening the app.

  • thegeeksoffice Louie Tran (@thegeeksoffice) reported

    @Outlook @mathursaab94 The update that was just released still doesn’t resolve the notifications issue.

  • chelleK38 Michelle King (@chelleK38) reported

    @Outlook Why have I not had any images in my email for two days now??? This is horribly frustrating! Any ideas when it will be fixed or what the issue is? Thanks!

  • AChanceFind Łαrry GalegΩ (@AChanceFind) reported

    @thegreatketchup @Outlook It's been broken for me too for like a week. Only android app works all else broken. Seems only 3 of us in the entire world (on twitter) have noticed. Silence from @outlook and online searches turn up nothing. It's perplexing...
