  • Kavey Kavey (@Kavey) reported

    @DeepakNambisan @Outlook Fair but this seems a BIG gap and not too complex to fix given that setting recurrence patterns is already well defined in the same tool.

  • _steve2_ Steve Mahoney 🍎 (@_steve2_) reported from Denver, Colorado

    Back on track @Outlook vpn issues

  • studyclassics Dylan (@studyclassics) reported

    Looking forward to some evening email catch up and work. Not if @Outlook @Microsoft have anything to do with it! Attempted to get code to a Yahoo email address for login: "We couldn't send the code. Please try again." - and again, and again, and again...

    @Microsoft365 @Outlook My least favourite is when I get my account verified so i can login, change the password and my contact info as prompted. Then it tells me i will be able to log in. Then keeps insisting on me using a code and trying to use my old contact details that I’ve already said i dont have

    Lesson Learned If @outlook connection issues under @Windows 10 Then Reboot Machine Wow

  • paul_schramm Paul Schramm (@paul_schramm) reported

    Hey @Microsoft , why can't you fix @Outlook so that when you print a month it displays a small last and next month? I don't need a small version of the current month.

  • kfsone Oliver Smith 💉💉 (@kfsone) reported

    Dear @outlook team, have any of you ever tried getting support for not being able to add an imap account on the android device? First, you have to answer the question: "Can't connect to my imap server" which gets you a wall of angsty text telling you it's your fault.

  • RefugeeNik Nikos 🇨🇾🇬🇷🇬🇧 (@RefugeeNik) reported

    People having problem signing upto #GETTR using @Yahoo and @Outlook email addresses, It seems that Yahoo and Microsoft are blocking the sign up verification emails. If you use @ProtonMail then the sign up email comes straight through.

  • aimeelangham Mrs Aimee Langham (@aimeelangham) reported

    @Outlook @Microsoft your support service really needs an upgrade, ignored numerous times and completely unhelpful. Problem still unresolved.

  • nigelonius ηιgєℓonius (@nigelonius) reported

    @Microsoft had a very nice #Pride theme in the @Outlook app which now seems to have gone through an update (to fix bugs would be the description). I don’t know why these corporations are very into performative activism.

  • MohgaKamalYanni Mohga Kamal-Yanni (@MohgaKamalYanni) reported

    When will @Microsoft allow : 1- stopping of junking valid e mails. I did everything Microsoft n the community says but in vein 2.changing the terrible glaring white background of @Outlook I am punished for complaining about the good old Lotus Notes

  • nairpranavs Pranav Nair (@nairpranavs) reported

    @Outlook It is so annoying to find out that search in Outlook for mac 2019 is nt workng. Tried evrythng gvn in the support page still no luck. Is it really a spotlight issue? When downgrading to 2016 it's workng fine. Evn in 365 got the same issue. Kindly release a stable update.

  • MarkusWerle So-called Artist 㡹 (@MarkusWerle) reported

    I opened a folder with 3600 emails and used the context menu "mark all as unread" and @Outlook started to run berserk on one of my 8 CPU cores and making massive I/O rendering the computer unusable. I think this software has a design problem.

    @MicrosoftHelps @Outlook I have reaching out to you helplessly try to resolve my outlook issue in mobile from last 1.5 months. Can someone help to get this resolved , I have tried all possible suggestions from your team with no success. @satyanadella #horriblesupport

  • alisdairmor Bob McAllister (@alisdairmor) reported

    Why is Microsoft @Outlook apparently unable to block the flow of junk phishing via the threat to close an unverified(sic) account? I had hoped that ML would kick-in after fifty block and/or report actions. It seems the "learning" is very slow, or could it be deliberate neglect?

  • StephonKay Stefan mit F (@StephonKay) reported

    @TweetsOfSumit @magicbricks @Outlook Not working for me either.. I am flagging mails everyday hoping that outlook will one day react.

  • _steve2_ Steve Mahoney 💙 (@_steve2_) reported from Denver, Colorado
